Original name of the Hotel Grande Bretagne
[edit]Is it not the case that the original name was "Grand Hotel d'Angleterre"? Please refer to the following link photograph 1885. Carrc99 (talk) 09:34, 9 April 2015 (UTC)Chris Carr – No, the Grand Hotel d'Angleterre was on the junction of Ermou and Syntagma, and demolished in the 1930s. The Grande Bretagne was converted to an hotel about 1877; previously it had served as the temporary home for the Ecole Francaise d'Athenes https://www.flickr.com/photos/athens_greece/11144320516/in/set-72157639314071925 , in what was the first private building of Syntagma Square -- namely the mansion built by a merchant named Dimitriou.This building was located where the hotel is now (obviously), on the north eastern part of the square near to the palace. 2.101.135.255 (talk) 16:34, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
