"Reopened in 2019 after a sensitive restoration on a pine-clad peninsula in Vouliagmeni, this seafront property revived two brutalist buildings and 1960s bungalows. It blends jet-set glamour with family-friendly ease—guests split time between poolside lounging and plunges into the sea—creating a glamorous, social atmosphere that helped reinvigorate the Athens Riviera." - Nicola Chilton
"A historic beachfront hotel on the Athens Riviera, known for its luxurious amenities and welcoming atmosphere. It offers various activities like yacht excursions, visits to the temple of Poseidon, and pottery classes." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Arriving under the hum of helicopters and a hint of glamour, I found the Four Seasons Astir Palace to be a smart urban resort that warmly welcomes children with spacious bungalows (some with plunge pools and kitchens) and studios overlooking olive-lined pools and a yacht-studded bay. Kids are greeted with playful treats—drawing sets, toys, kids’ toiletries and, on request, cribs and baby slippers—and the hotel excels at extracurriculars from tennis at immaculate clay courts to comic-book workshops, theater mime and ancient-Greek storytelling, while breakfast and an expansive buffet (including a pistachio-butter machine and homemade yogurts) keep everyone well fed; the sea is easily reached by sandy beach or steps in summer. " - Lauren Burvill
"Reimagined by Four Seasons after a period of decline, the hotel returns with pale marble, extravagant floral displays, and provocative contemporary art behind its original modernist façades; the Athens Riviera’s Vouliagmeni arc feels simultaneously glamorous and renewed. The two wings have distinct personalities—Nafsika draws underdressed influencers and high rollers with sea‑facing rooms and a pool with floating olive trees and underwater speakers, while Arion is more sedate, favored by deal‑makers and spa devotees—making the property a triumphant recalibration of a legendary hotel brand. " - Paris Wilson
"The Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens offers a perfect balance of solitude and city access, with 75 pristine private acres. Guests can enjoy privacy while being a short drive from the city's attractions, indulge in the quiet side by the water’s edge, or take a private boat tour. Rooms start around $1,500 per night." - Travel + Leisure Editors
