How high are your sights set?
Well, if you are looking for a vacation spot steeped not only in culture, cuisine and history but also in Gods, you need look no further than the Hotel Grande Bretagne, Athens.
This spectacular hotel, ideally situated in the heart of the city, is the perfect place to experience all that Athens has to offer. Not only are some of the most famous sites in the world within walking distance, but the hotel also boasts breathtaking views; a glass of wine takes on a different air when it is enjoyed while gazing at the Acropolis and the Parthenon.
The hotel’s stunning rooftop restaurant and bar is a culinary destination unto itself, with extraordinary Mediterranean cuisine that is the equal of the magnificent view. If you need help building your appetite, try a swim in the outdoor pool and experience the Grecian summer air, surrounded by living history and a view of Lycabettus Hill.
If you feel the need to focus further on your aquatic experience, check out the indoor pool at the spa, which is ideal for laps any time of year. And if you’re feeling especially strong, continue that focused workout at the state-of-the art fitness center with private trainers available. Once you have your own body looking like a Greek God, be sure and pamper yourself with an Ouzo Oil Massage or the spa’s signature treatment, a Yoghurt, Honey and Sugar Wrap.
For old-world elegant décor to stimulate your senses combined with all the modern amenities required for your comfort, plus impeccable service and cuisine, the Hotel Grande Bretagne, Athens is the perfect place to have it all.
