The Rates at Hotel Grande Bretagne, A Luxury Collection Hotel

"It is the standard to which the city's luxury hotels compare themselves, but its high rates are often restrictive to tourists"

"As an alternative, travelers could check rates at Electra Palace Hotel Athens, which has a rooftop pool and rooms with minibars"

"It’s the very definition of a grand hotel, with white-gloved valets, soaring ceilings, priceless antiques, crystal chandeliers, cloudlike bedding and marble baths, and a full spa with an indoor pool and steam rooms"

"" "The service was superb, but the high food prices aren’t completely justified"

"Expensive, but memorable"
