Hotel Grande Bretagne, Athens: Discover Mythical Greece

Visiting the Greek Isles this summer? Stop through Europe's oldest capital to contemplate the Parthenon's majesty and a plethora of Classical monuments dating from the 5th century BC. A trip to Athens isn't complete without a stay at the Grande Bretagne, the grande dame of Athens luxury hotels, standing proud at Constitution Square for more than 130 years. A member of Starwood's prestigious Luxury Collection, the Grande Bretagne has hosted scores of dignitaries, business tycoons, and stars, who enjoy pure luxury in service and living. Take a dip in the rooftop pool, relax in the stunning new GB Spa, watch the sun set behind the Acropolis from the GB Rooftop Garden Bar-Restaurant (pictured at right). Recently renovated, the magnificent restaurant serves savory Mediterranean cuisine from Chef Emilio Bracciale. The views are absolutely breathtaking.
