Hotel Grande Bretagne occupies a prominent position on Syntagma Square at the corner of Vasileos Georgiou A' and Panepistimiou Streets in Athens. The hotel is situated in the Plaka district, Athens' historic neighborhood. From this central location, major cultural landmarks and the city's business district are accessible.

The building's origins trace to 1842 when it was constructed as a private residence for Antonis Dimitriou. In 1874, Efstathios Lampsas acquired the structure and transformed it into the Grande Bretagne hotel. A new wing on Panepistimiou Street was added in 1930, followed by another on Voukourestiou Street in 1950. In 1957, architect Kostas Voutsinas designed an additional wing while retaining design elements from the original building. A comprehensive renovation beginning in 2001 and completed in 2003 modernized the hotel, after which it joined The Luxury Collection.
