Hotel Grande Bretagne, Athens - Carlos Fuentes

Carlos Fuentes, Mexico's most celebrated novelist aand critic, talks about the ideal or perfect hotel and the ideal woman in the Winter Garden Bar of the Hotel Grande Bretagne, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Athens, Greece.

Winter Garden
A beautiful extension of the hotel's historic lobby, the Winter Garden is an airy atrium space, designed to offer guests a respite far from the dash of city life. Gorgeous stained glass adorns the ceiling, graceful columns underscore the impressive height, and the intricate marble floor grounds the space with masterful detailing. The opulence of the setting is offset by a delicate palette of creams and gold, and an abundance of natural light from the windows that overlook the atrium garden. Potted palms add a whimsical touch to the décor. A soothing water feature and the soft tinkling of live piano music echo the overall feeling of calm and refined turn-of-the-century elegance.

Reminiscent of a scene from an epic film such as "1900" directed by world-renowned Bernardo Bertolucci, a past guest of the hotel, the Winter Garden celebrates world-class hospitality and style. The sparkle of crystal glasses, the rich hand of damask napkins, and the gleam of polished silver speak to the impeccable service guests may enjoy here throughout the day.

The café-style restaurant of the Winter Garden is open daily from 6:30am in the morning until 2am at night, serving a multitude of purposes—a stylish spot to enjoy a drink with friends, a discreet setting for a business meeting, or a lovely start to the day over fresh-brewed coffee and warm-from-the-oven pastries. A light lunch menu and tasty small plates are also available throughout the day.
