Christmas in Athens
The majestic Christmas tree of the historic Hotel Grande Bretagne, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Athens has been decorated and officially welcomes the Festive Season!
The hotel welcomes the most wonderful time of the year and invites us all to admire its 7mt high Christmas tree! Elegantly decorated, by the hotel’s associates, with more than 400 festive ornaments 9.000 lights, this is the city’s most inspiring and sparkling Christmas decoration!
From the moment that is being selected to the very moment that is finally decorated, this is a ritual of itself. Journeying through the city of Athens and being carefully treated by the hotel’s associates, the 7mt high Christmas tree owns its special and very own place so in the historic hotel as in the hearts of all Athenians!
On Saturday, December 1st, we were all there and felt the absolute festive spirit once the tree’s lights went on and the Christmas carols, sang by a choir of young children, filled the lobby of the landmark hotel. This is a memorable experience where the hotel associates joint their forces so that the hotel’s valued guests and the city itself may relive every year an experience to be cherished for a lifetime.
