Athens is a charming historical city with fine Mediterranean weather and even finer food. Despite its economic difficulties over the last few years, it’s still a place that attracts worldly visitors with its ancient monuments and creative culture
It’s also home to some of the finest city-beaches in Europe, not least along the crystal clear waters of the Athenian Riviera, where luxury hotel group Four Seasons is planning to open a stunning new palace hotel in spring 2018.
Following extensive upgrades to the existing hotel, Astir Palace, the first Four Seasons in Greece is set to become a landmark destination in the wildly beautiful Athenian Riviera, just 16 miles south of Athens and 15 miles from Athens airport.
The iconic Astir Palace has long been favoured by elite international and Greek clientele, with its position among 30 hectares of pine-dotted and scenic landscaped gardens. The peninsula is also home upscale retail and dining options, including Matsuhisa Athens by Nobu; Astir Beach, a unique seaside concept; Astir Marina; and plenty of high-end seafront residences, making it one of the most coveted areas in Greece
In preparation for the Hotel’s rebirth as the new Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens, more than EUR 100 million is being invested into refurbishing its facilities. Features will include approximately 300 rooms, suites and luxury bungalows; spa and recreational facilities; state of art conference and event spaces; infinity pools; beaches; a unique beachfront promenade; and more.
With interiors designed by Meyer Davis Studio, the hotel will embody a contemporary yet timeless luxury design. Select food and beverage outlets, conceived by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, will introduce new culinary dining concepts of local and international cuisines.
