I stayed at the most famous hotel in Athens. Its rooftop restaurant with Acropolis views can't be missed, even if you're not a guest.

Hotel Grande Bretagne is the oldest and most famous hotel in Athens, Greece.

• Hotel Grande Bretagne, which opened in 1874, is the oldest and most famous hotel in Athens, Greece.
• The hotel survived both World Wars and was where the modern Green government was formed.
• Its rooftop restaurant, which has a perfect view of the Acropolis, was my favorite part.

Tucked into the beating heart of Athens, with a perfect view of the Acropolis...
