The Director of Public Relations of Hotel
Grand Bretagne and King George Hotel

Η Διευθύντρια Δημοσίων Σχέσεων των
Ξενοδοχείων Μεγάλη Βρεταννία και
King George εξηγεί τους λόγους που
τα ιστορικά αυτά ξενοδοχεία έχουν
παρελθόν, παρόν και μέλλον.
In which way do you think you contribute
to the creation of the new face of Athens?
All European capitals have places of
historical interest, museums, sites, shopping
malls and cosmopolitan hangouts.
Moreover, all have some landmark hotels
that signal the city’s touristic journey as
well as moments in its history, since great
historical events have taken place there. The
Hotel Grande Bretagne is one such hotel-
landmark. Its spaces have borne witness to
significant events from the annals of Greek
history and have hosted grand personalities,
from the time it first operated to the present
day. These days, the Grande Bretagne, more
modern and refurbished, gives status and
glamour to the Syntagma area as well as
to the capital’s infrastructure. It is a hotel
that guarantees high quality hospitality,
a hotel that can only be compared with
other famous, five-star historic hotels in
other European countries. Its modern
infrastructure, refreshing view and
dynamism of high quality and design with
a classical approach essentially reflect the
city itself: modern but with a rich cultural
heritage. That is what Athens is, and also
the Hotel Grande Bretagne.
