the five-star hotel.

The Hotel Grande Bretagne in Athens is a sight to see itself. The creme de la creme. It’s the kind of hotel where you can wear a ball gown to dinner and high heels to the pool. Every detail is perfect and beautiful, down to the mat and slippers next to your bed…

{ I LOVED our chandelier }

{ almost as much as I loved our headboard }

{ me and my camera, naturally }

{ dramatic hallways }

{ picture perfect pool, straight off the camera }

{ flowers, windows, and shells by the pool }

It will probably be another ten years before I stay in a hotel this nice, so I’m glad I have these photos as proof that for three amazing nights, we were total ballers.
