Lookin’ a Lot Like Christmas at Athens Grande Bretagne & King George Hotels

Hotel Grande Bretagne and King George at Syntagma Square in central Athens.

It’s that time of the year again and the holiday festivities are in full swing at the city’s leading luxury hotels: the Grande Bretagne and its neighbor, the King George.

This year’s theme — the power of ice — features in the garlands and ornaments which traditionally adorn the hotels’ christmas trees proudly standing in the hotels’ lobbies.

And because ’tis is the season of giving, Grande Bretagne’s concept store — GB Corner Gifts & Flavors — offers guests a wide selection to chose from: everything from Christmas cakes in elegant boxes to a wide variety of sweets and delicacies beautifully wrapped and ready to delivered to your loved ones.

In doubt? Why not sample the sweetest delights in town starting December 7, when the hotel’s in-house pastry chef does his magic… served with tea, coffee or hot chocolate. In the meantime, Executive Chef Sotiris Evangelou is set to impress with his innovative menus that will be served to the tune of holiday music and more.

If visiting Athens is part of your holiday plan, make sure to take advantage of the festive accommodation packages on offer at both hotels.

The 5-star Grande Bretagne and King George hotels are owned and controlled by Lampsa Hellenic Hotels SA, a subsidiary of the Laskaridis Group, and managed by Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide.
