Adventure Woman loves the Hotel Grande Bretagne!

Hotel Grande Bretagne, Athens
Athens, Greece
Beth Walz, Basecamp Manager AdventureWoman.com

Imagine having breakfast looking on to the regal Acropolis or watching the golden Athens sun pouring over the majestic Parthenon. Magical? Absolutely. But magical is exactly the word to describe this over-the-top wonderful hotel in the heart of Athens.

This hotel is 140-years-old and is still in her prime. She is on virtually every list and has won every award there is to win. You will also be privy to spectacular views of Constitution Square and the Parliament, Lycabettus Hill or the original Olympic Stadium. The Roof Top Garden is a glorious place to have a glass of champagne and reveal in what may be the best views of the city.

But the views are as glorious inside the hotel as they are outside. The classic interiors pay homage to the best of the Greek culture with beautifully intricate moldings and elegant décor. The outside pool is a haven from the hectic and noisy city as you relax and bask in the glow of one of history’s grandest cities in the comfort of your lounge chair. Alternatively, enjoy yourself in the luxurious surroundings of equally intoxicating indoor pool.

Try a delicious Ouzo Oil Massage at the Grande Bretagne Spa or immerse yourself in the warmth of the premier Thermal Suite. The Cellar has an impressive collection of over 3000 bottles of wine and you may indulge yourself in an evening tasting. A fitness center and hair salon is also on site. Sightseeing tours can be arranged with the concierge.

If nothing else, make a reservation for dinner or visit for drinks. Make sure you check on the dress code before you visit. The sheer opulence and history of the Hotel Grande Bretagne is worth the trek and you’ll have a wonderful few hours in pure Grecian paradise. For more information: http://www.grandebretagne.gr.
