Discover the stunning renovation of the iconic GB Roof Garden Restaurant at the Hotel Grande Bretagne in Athens
A Classic and Majestic Comeback at the Hotel Grande Bretagne
The GB Roof Garden restaurant, nestled atop the historic Hotel Grande Bretagne, has long been a beloved destination for both locals and visitors in Athens. This iconic venue has recently reopened its doors after a breathtaking transformation that promises to captivate guests from the moment they arrive.
A Contemporary Redesign with Timeless Charm
The new design of the GB Roof Garden restaurant seamlessly blends contemporary aesthetics with the majestic atmosphere it has always been known for. The grand hall, adorned with natural materials such as white marble and wood, adds depth and elegance to the space while preserving its authenticity. One of the most striking features of the renovation is the restaurant’s panoramic view of the Acropolis, allowing every guest to marvel at one of the city’s most cherished landmarks.
An Enchanting Color Palette
The color scheme of the newly renovated restaurant is deeply classic, featuring fresh neutral tones accented with subtle touches of pink, green, and gold. These colors reflect the historical iconography of Athens and are complemented by modern details and lively design elements inspired by Greek tradition, such as the attire of the Evzones. The selection of fabrics and elegant furniture creates a warm and welcoming interior, enhanced by a sophisticated blend of architectural and decorative lighting.
Award-Winning Design
The complete renovation was undertaken by the award-winning London-based interior design firm Goddard Littlefair. Their vision was to enhance the visitor experience and the operational potential of this iconic venue. The interior designers approached the project with deep respect for the building’s architecture, breathing new life into this unique space within just four months.
A Culinary Beacon
Since its inception, the GB Roof Garden Restaurant has been a beacon of irresistible flavors, attracting distinguished personalities worldwide. The restaurant is an endless source of inspiration for Executive Chef Asterios Koustoudis, Chef De Cuisine Nikos Liokas, and Pastry Chef Alexandros Koufas. Their new “fine comfort” menu embodies the connection between gastronomy and exceptional Greek hospitality, making every guest feel special. Using domestic products and fresh seasonal ingredients from Greek producers, they skillfully create imaginative dishes and nostalgic flavors that combine modern international culinary trends with Greece’s rich gastronomic heritage.
A Refreshing Experience at the GB Roof Garden Bar
Guests can also enjoy refreshing cocktails and a delicious “bar food” menu at the impressive new GB Roof Garden Bar, all while taking in the breathtaking view of the Parthenon. Additionally, the exotic open-air Bar8 offers a summer escape in the heart of the city, featuring premium drinks, fusion Bar Bites, pop-jazz music, and mesmerizing sunsets.
The GB Roof Garden restaurant at the Hotel Grande Bretagne has returned, more stunning and majestic than ever before. Its combination of contemporary design, timeless charm, and exceptional culinary offerings ensures that it remains a beloved destination for years to come.
