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.”

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.

Good hotel but service needs to be a Four Seasons global level
Location design restaurants
Housekeeping - they didn’t clean the room until 2 pm even though we left it at 10am with a cleaning sign. Concierge - They booked us a restaurant outside the hotel for 12 pm even though the restaurant opens at 1pm so I was confused and had to ask them - they said 12pm again and then when we left already heading to the restaurant they texted it opens at 1pm - so we had to wait 1 hour next to the restaurant. Mini bar was not refilled. They always put a duvet with the horned side on the top - so when you sleep you feel the filling coming out

Relaxing place to stay in Athens, far from the hustle and bustle of the city
Great place to stay for a little weekend getaway from the middle east. The location is far from the city (about 40mins/ 40 euros with the cab/ uber) but it is very private and secluded. The service is amazing as per FS standard as usual.
Breakfast option could have more variety but for European standard it is good.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Four Seasons Hotel in Athens and I must say that my experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to ensure that my every need was met. The level of professionalism and attention to detail displayed by the staff was truly impressive. Not only did they provide excellent service during my stay, but they also followed up afterwards to ensure that I was completely satisfied with my experience. This level of dedication and commitment to customer satisfaction is truly commendable. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff at the Four Seasons Hotel in Athens and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a truly luxurious and memorable experience.

Great experience and are already thinking of planning a second stay at one of four season hotels!
The breakfast was delicious, the room was beautiful and the staff did their maximum to give us a great first-time experience with Four Season.
The spa, I complained that when we decided to go to the spa there were families with children shouting and jumping into the water, parents talking loudly on the phone, so we left as soon as possible the spa! I got an answer from the spa manager who did everything to change our feeling and understood our frustration. She gave us fantastic compensation and was so a kind and lovely person that we completely forgot our complaint, you have a wonderful person who is responsible for the spa!
