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)Reply
