SPG Moment: Starwood Preferred Guests Have ‘Dinner in the Sky’ of Athens

Hotel Grande Bretagne, a Luxury Collection Hotel, organized in early June and for the second year in a row, a memorable SPG Moment in the heart of Athens: an exclusive dinner at the unique restaurant “Dinner in the Sky” for 22 SPG Members Gold & Platinum.

SPG (Starwood Preferred Guest) is an innovative, award-winning frequent traveler program that unites each of Starwood’s 11 distinctive hotel brands and includes more luxury hotels in more destinations around the world.

Just before the event in Athens, all SPG Moment members attended a pre-dinner cocktail at the GB Roof Garden, before heading to the ‘Dinner in the Sky’ restaurant at the City of Athens Technopolis, an industrial museum and one of the city’s major cultural venues.

There, SPG Moment members were taken 50 meters above the ground for a special experience that included fine dining and spectacular views of the city of Athens.

The Grande Bretagne’s Executive Chef Sotiris Evangelou and his culinary team prepared special 4-course menu to the privileged guests. The package also included a two-night stay at the luxurious Hotel Grande Bretagne; daily breakfast was included and private transportation to and from the Technopolis and to and from the airport was also provided.

Dinner in the Sky: A unique experience right in the heart of Athens

“Dinner in the Sky” is literally what its title states: A table that seats 22 people is lifted 50 meters and offers an exciting experience over the city. As the table slowly rotates, the restaurant guests get views ranging from the lit Acropolis, the surrounding mountains, the sea and of course the city of Athens.

The concept includes experienced chefs that prepare a 5-course menu of modern tastes inspired by Greek tradition and accompanied by delicious Greek wines.
