Michelin Guide "Contemporary design hotel on the main plaza of a leafy suburb. Flamboyant colour schemes feature inside and out, and are complemented by vibrant modern furnishings."
Frommer's "This is by far the most stunning of the designer hotels in Athens." Full review
Concierge "Most objects in the 52 rooms here are amoeba-shaped and electric-ice-cream-colored—because this is Karim Rashid's first hotel, and that is what he does."
Travel + Leisure "This is an ideal base for schmoozing, but not for sightseeing—it’s a 35-minute metro ride from the city center." Full review

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."
Fodor's "The landmark Grande Bretagne remains the most exclusive hotel in Athens... you may very well think it is the very best." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The central location is perfect—opposite the Parliament Building and overlooking Syntagma Square." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Originally built in 1842 for King Otto, the Grande Bretagne has always been Athens’ most exclusive hotel."
Rough Guide "If someone else is paying, try to get them to put you up at the Grande Bretagne, the grandest of all Athens’ hotels, with the finest location in town."
Star Service "Located next to the Syntagma metro station and the E95 Airport Express Bus stop, this is the grande dame of Athenian hotels, a refined yet modern hotel, with a rich history of entertaining dignitaries." Full review
Afar Magazine "Hotel Grande Bretagne is not only a solid choice of accommodations for your stay in Athens: it has a killer rooftop breakfast spread with an even more killer view of the Acropolis." Full review

I choose the good full fat stuff and loaded it with pistachios and thyme honey.
