BARS & RESTAURANTSTop

GB Corner

The most famous brasserie in the capital lies to your right as you walk into the lobby. The GB Corner is famous not only for its unique ambience and excellent Mediterranean cuisine, but also for its clientele. Highly renowned Athenians meet there to partake in GB Corner's refined environment, complete with its luxurious yet functional lighting and the unique comfort afforded by perfectly designed chairs and dinner tables arranged to allow privacy in crowd. GB Corner sets the standards against which people measure the best of Athens eateries.

Located in a corner of the hotel’s main lobby, GB Corner is the property’s signature restaurant. It boasts a sophisticated, yet lively, atmosphere. Much of the mood stems from its 1900 art-deco interior design, which is essentially elegant in style and a delightful reminder of such a charming era.

The varied, colorful, Mediterranean menu by Chef Bertrand Valegeas is complemented by the relaxed and comfortable surroundings. An open kitchen enhances the atmosphere of the restaurant.

Drop in anytime for lunch or dinner from 12 noon until 2 o'clock in the morning and dine in the company of the capital's most influential writers, politicians and professionals. Relax at one of the exclusive ground floor tables or luxuriate in the historical loft with its leather button sofas. Whichever you choose, you are sure to be impressed by the speed of the service.

And as you savor the tantalizing cuisine, let your eyes wander over the rich collection of art deco from the 1900s. Relax and allow yourself to be carried away by the magical sounds of instrumental melodies.
