The easiest way to see the sights of Athens is not from a tour bus, but the rooftop of Hotel Grande Bretagne. View the original Olympic Stadium as you swan dive into the pool; check out the Acropolis from your barstool; take in the Parthenon as you sample the finest Mediterranean cuisine. If your one-stop tour of Athens leaves you fatigued, retire to one of Hotel Grande Bretagne's 320 rooms, where "lavish" is an understatement. Wall-to-wall marble bathrooms, antique furnishings (courtesy of Christie's and Sotheby's), and cloud-like bedding make these spaces fit for Grecian gods ... and a few lucky mortals. On that note, we suggest a visit to the hotel's very own fountain of youth, better known as the GB Spa. Turn back the clock (at least a day) in the Thermal Suite, complete with herbal bath, laconium, grotto, sauna, ice fountain, couples retreat, and indoor pool.
