Ask for a room with a balcony overlooking Syntagma Square, the Parliament building, and the Acropolis.
Insight Guides "Perhaps the most famous hotel in Athens, oozing history and class, the Grande Bretagne on Sýndagma Square dates from 1846."
Concierge "While some might argue for the Parthenon, more modern types agree that the most enduring luxury address in Athens is this 321-room hotel on Syntagma Square."
