The Grande Bretagne offers a variety of rooms and suites, some with views of the Acropolis. Room rates start at $641 per night, while suites start at $985.
Business Insider received a media rate for two nights.
My suite opened into the living room, which featured a small couch, a desk, a large window, and a balcony with a view of the Greek Parliament.
Heavy drapes, a chandelier, and the patterned rug added to the palatial feel, but the dependence on yellow and beige tones was a bit one-note.
Instead of being transportive, it made the room feel a little stuffy and old-fashioned. A few splashes of color would have made the space feel a tad more welcoming.
A spokesperson for Grande Bretagne said the hotel’s rooms “reflect a classic design inspired by the heritage and character of the hotel.”
