Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens

We recently stayed one night at the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens before embarking on a cruise, and the experience was truly exceptional from start to finish. We booked through American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts, which offers perks like early check-in and room upgrades when available. Although the hotel was fully booked and we couldn’t check in early or receive an upgrade, the front-of-house staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel well cared for from the moment we arrived. The lobby and grounds were stunning—beautifully maintained and immediately set the tone for a luxurious stay. Since we arrived early, we enjoyed a meal at one of the resort’s waterfront dining areas. It was casual in feel but offered a high level of service, and the food was very good. Our room (410) was on the lower end of their room categories, but you wouldn’t know it from the quality. Spacious, immaculately clean, tastefully designed, and extremely comfortable, with a balcony that offered a wonderful view of the marina. In-room tech was easy to use and worked flawlessly. Our luggage was already waiting for us in the room when we arrived—another touch that demonstrated the property’s attention to detail. We had dinner at Pelagos, the Michelin-starred restaurant on site, and it was nothing short of fantastic. From the service to the creativity of the menu, it was a highlight of our trip. The following morning, we enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which exceeded expectations—both in quality and variety. Wine and cocktail selections throughout our stay were impressive. My wife visited the spa and described it as possibly the best spa experience she’s ever had—top-tier staff and serene facilities that elevated the entire stay. Service across the resort was consistently excellent, with no language barriers at any point. While there may be more convenient locations in Athens for a pre-cruise stay, the serene setting and overall experience made it more than worthwhile. Pricing was high, as expected for a Four Seasons, but I left feeling that the value was there. My only regret? That we didn’t stay longer. This is a property that clearly has much more to offer, and we look forward to returning. Final Verdict: A+

We stayed here for Spring Break 2025. The hotel is about 25 minutes down the coast from Athens. It’s very easy to get from the hotel to downtown Athens. The vibe at the hotel is totally chill and relaxed. Like all fantastic hotels though the staff here is what makes this place exceptional. Mikael Lambotte and his colleagues were beyond excellent. They organized sightseeing tours for us, booked restaurants for us and made sure that we were well looked after. He even organized my next trip arrangements in Abu Dhabi as a favor due to his friendship with folks at FS Abu Dhabi! My family loved it here. There are lots of local restaurant options and a great Nobu next foo also. Only downside was the weather was a little cool so we didn’t get to use any of the water activities. We will definitely come back.

This resort is top notch! So many options for dining-all delicious! Absolutely beautiful location on the Athens Riviera! Lovely amenities including a beautiful spa and pool facilities. Excellent service and extremely spacious suites!

Our family of four just left the Four Seasons Astir Palace after something like the fifth trip here and we were just talking about how despite the fact that we've been fortunate to stay at many other Four Seasons and other brands of luxury hotels, this is our favorite hotel in the world. The hotel consumes an entire peninsula in the Greek Riviera, has numerous great restaurants located in different scenic spots throughout the property, a gorgeous pool with massive olive trees growing in the middle of it, multiple private beaches, beautiful rooms, a huge fitness room, a great kids club, an outdoor sports club with private tennis courts, a basketball court, a soccer pitch, ]table tennis and foosball, a water sports center with jet skis and paddle boards, and of course incredible Four Seasons service. You can spend an entire week on the property with family or with your significant other and will never feel like you're constrained to just one building or property and will not be bored. We can't wait to return soon!

We just came back my daughter (9yo) and I from a week at the Four Seasons Astir. Its been truly exceptional, in line with what you would expect from Four Seasons. Special thanks to Julie the concierge and Nikola the tennis coach for the small attentions that made our stay even better, The +++ - The location (we stayed in a bungalow with a pool), surrounded by the sea, splendid scenery, the bungalows are a bit on the side nested in the woods - The layout of the resort, seems huge without feeling 'mass market', the properties and pools are far enough from each other that it always feel special -The pools, fantastic for kids and parents - The Tennis x basketball x mini football complex, staff always welcoming, superb tennis courts - The concierge team, friendly and efficient, always with a smile The ++ - The room: not very large but functional, nice bathroom, and a pleasure to have the outdoor shower facing the sea - The food: great variety of restaurants to choose from, excellent breakfast selection - The buggy team - The proximity to the marina, an interesting visit - The staff overall The - - The prices of any watersport activity. Completely overpriced, which is a shame because as a result you barely see anyone using the various toys & boats available. The equipment sits there idle. We will definitely come back, we loved our stay,
