Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel, Athens
Expert reviews
“At the heart of the Athens Riviera action is Vouliagmeni, an arc of honey-colored sand sheltered by a pine-fringed peninsula. Behind the original modernist façades, there are lashings of pale marble, extravagant floral displays, and intriguing contemporary art.”
Featured in CN Traveler’s 2020 Gold List.
“The Athens Riviera is where well-heeled Athenians live when they’re not hopping around the Greek islands, and the revived Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens — the brand’s first hotel in Greece — is perhaps the most exclusive enclave on the pine-lined Astir Peninsula.”

The Four Seasons Astir Palace is situated on the banks of Athens Riviera, is surrounded by a relaxing pine-clad peninsula. Around 30 minutes away from the city center and the Airport, it is right beside the Astura beach offering a wide range of luxurious facilities.
Featuring three distinct modes of accommodations and settings, depending on your preference and liking, the Astir Palace is unique and distinct in every way. Nafsika features a sea-view from every room and some suites having a dedicated pool.
The bungalows established in 1961 are suited for people chasing a secluded seaside lifestyle where peace and relaxation are focused highly. Arion rooms and suites are laid back and perfect to notice the modern architecture and enjoy four distinct restaurants including the Greek Seafood restaurant Pelagos.
All three styles of rooms feature a king-size bed and a sofabed or a crib upon request. Each suite, being around 500 square feet, has ample of space to relax and peacefully spend your time at this modern take on an oasis.
Facilities like a spa, golf course, tennis and basketball courts, boat access and water sports activities are a cherry on top of their 24-hour services. These include Limousine transport and yacht catering on top of general hotel services.

a true 10/10 unforgettable!
our stay was so amazing that we actually canceled our flight and extended our trip just to spend more time at the four seasons. from the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional, and I have to give a special mention to Elena and Eugenios from the staff. They were truly outstanding and always going above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. Their professionalism and genuine kindness elevated my entire experience. This is the kind of place that sets a new standard for luxury stays. Impeccable service, top-notch dining, amazing beach and a team that truly cares about their guests—I can’t wait to return.

Perfect Stay in Athenian Riviera
Great riviera stay, lots of attention to detail, plenty of space to lounge, direct beach and pool access. A true resort
If you’re planning to sightsee in Athens, it is a bit of a deck, but manageable if the priority is resort. Also there were times when I felt the staff could be more friendly.

Best hotel if you want to visit Athens but still want a beach / resort type of holiday!
This is one of if not the best hotel I’ve stayed in! What makes it truly amazing are the facilities, you feel like you’re in your own little village in the middle of the nature when you’re actually 30min away from Athens city centre (should you wish to visit the acropolis and other historical sites). The view never gets boring and the staff were always very nice and helpful!
While there are many restaurants on site and diverse cuisine options, we were not blown away by the quality of the food but the location and views from the restaurants were still worth it.

Location and facilities stunning. If funds permitted could have happily stayed one month.

Excellent BF Italian restaurant
After one week on Spetses eating out, the Greek Taverna did not at all meet our expectations. The cocktail menue at the main bar was unusually short. No mention about the 10-15 most popular cocktails worldwide.

Great location, excellent staff couldn’t have been more perfect other than check in which was a little disappointing.
Accidentally booked two rooms, missed due to the inordinate amount of emails you receive especially when your booking numerous hotels and despite the hotel being mad busy, uncompromising, quoting t&c’s in cancelling one. Then presumably upgrading our room as compensation then saying it wasn’t available after waiting for it.

Our stay was absolutely perfect! They accommodated us with a very early check-in and even offered a delicious breakfast, making our arrival seamless and enjoyable. The hotel itself is stunning, with breathtaking views, luxurious rooms, and exceptional service and spa. A special thanks to Marsela at the reception—she was incredibly welcoming, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience.

Wonderfull Staff! Amazing room service and room cleanliness as you would expect from the four seasons
Steak restaurant wagyu wasn’t up to standard considering it was on the MB scale. Other restaurants weren’t operational at the time. Overall great stay would come again!

Luxury service and sublime attention to detail
True luxury, and treated very personally and felt valued. A stunning location overlooking the ocean, and everyone went above and beyond for my fiancés 30th birthday.
Unfortunately all outdoor pools were closed, which j don’t believe was mentioned at the point of booking. They were also prepping the outdoor decking area during the day, which I completely understand, but is was very loud.

Brilliant Stay!
I stayed at the hotel in February and had a fantastic time! Since it was off-season, I couldn’t do any outdoor water activities, but my room was super comfy and well-maintained. The best part was the incredible staff, especially Inaya at the front desk. Everyone was so friendly and really went out of their way to help. Their warm hospitality made me feel right at home. I definitely recommend this hotel for a nice getaway!
It’s a bit far from the Athens city center, but nearby areas like Glyfada were amazing to explore. Thanks for the memorable experience!

Best hotel in Athens
Stunning view, amazing food at the hotel restaurants, perfect room size, great job done by room service (they even organized my charging cable :D) professional check in / out service and spacious spa area… P.S Everyone has a specific job, looks like they don’t hire one staff and add 2-3 different extra works, hope they also pay employees well because they deserve it!

One of the best hotel resorts in the world
Everything about this hotel is truly exceptional. In my opinion, it stands as one of the finest resort hotels in the world and by far the best Four Seasons hotel. Not only does it host some of the best restaurants and bars in Athens, but it also offers a serene and tranquil atmosphere - yet despite this peaceful setting, it is conveniently located just a two-minute drive from the heart of Athens Riviera, where all the action takes place.
Everything was perfect!

The room was impressive technology and comfort wise. The sea view is beautiful, the breakfast is grand, the staff are beyond professional, and the restaurant options are very convenient.
The beach space you can walk by is limited, most restaurants only operate for dinner, and it's 40 mins away from downtown.

Relaxing …
The Staff, The facilities, indoor pool. Spa area, room interiors and view. Many restaurants and good cafes with a view. Amazing location to cycle and walk. I believe it would be better to visit in warmer season. Breakfast is so good.
It is far away from the city. Club car to marina start at 12. Spa and indoor pool start at 11. Couldn’t join fitness classes on my stay they offer payed private class.

This is a fabulous hotel and we loved being there.
The Astir Palace is a superb Hotel. It is situated in a super location and is tranquil and beautiful. The rooms are excellent and quiet. The breakfast is quite amazing and the staff who we met were really wonderful and helpful. The service at this Hotel is second to none. The Main pool is excellent and warm enough to just walk into which is great. Overall a superb stay.
I wouldn’t go to this hotel during a weekend again. It is open to outside guests. We sat down to eat a late lunch on a Sunday in the Mexican restaurant which is right next to the main pool. There were children running around with no supervision being very loud and boisterous as the parents were ignoring their offspring. This made sitting in the restaurant on the Sunday quite difficult. It was a rowdy atmosphere. Also, the pool area was similarly affected by the children and we overheard other guests who were upset and commenting to staff that it was disruptive and noisy. This is not acceptable for this type of hotel. We did not feel comfortable and had to move to a quieter area away from the pool. We have not experienced this weekend format in any other similar luxury hotel.
