Why We Chose It
The most storied hotel in Athens — on Syntagma Square since 1874, hosting Churchill, De Gaulle, and heads of state. Rooftop restaurant with Acropolis views and the full grande dame experience. Confirm room position, pool season, accessibility, transportation, and cancellation terms before booking; Riviera hotels are far from central archaeological sites.
What Stands Out
- The most historically significant hotel in Greece — 150+ years, heads of state, royals since 1874
- 2 Michelin Keys (alongside its sister King George)
- GB Rooftop Restaurant: the best Acropolis-view dining at a luxury hotel
- GB Spa: 7th floor, herbal steam rooms, the finest spa in central Athens
- Syntagma Square location: Parliament, Plaka, Monastiraki all within 10 min walk
