Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens occupies a prime position on a pine-covered peninsula along the Athenian Riviera, where expansive sea views and direct access to the water sit within easy reach of the city’s cultural centre.

The property is arranged across two main buildings and a series of low-rise bungalows that follow the natural contours of the coastline, allowing the landscape to shape the overall flow. Clean, modern lines are softened by natural stone, greenery and open terraces, while pathways wind through gardens and along the shoreline, creating a sense of movement without ever feeling crowded. The scale is considerable, yet the layout ensures that different areas unfold gradually, offering both open, social spaces and quieter corners depending on where you find yourself.

Staying

The 303 rooms, suites and bungalows are designed with a focus on light and proportion, where floor-to-ceiling windows draw in the surrounding views of sea or pine forest. Interiors are calm and contemporary, using muted tones and understated detailing to create a consistent sense of balance. Bungalow accommodation and higher-category suites introduce a more private dimension, with features such as secluded terraces and private pools allowing for a more contained, residential-style stay within the wider setting.

Dining is varied and well-defined, with a collection of restaurants that each bring a distinct identity to the overall experience. Mercato focuses on Italian classics, Pelagos offers a more refined interpretation of Mediterranean cuisine, while Taverna 37 and Avra lean into Greek coastal flavours in relaxed settings by the water. Helios, Aristotle’s and Astron add further variety, ranging from lighter daytime options to more contemporary evening dining, while the cigar lounge provides a more composed space later in the day.

Experience

The lifestyle offering extends across the entire peninsula, with private beaches, water sports and tennis courts forming part of the daily rhythm. Despite the scale, it is easy to move between more active areas and quieter stretches of coastline, allowing each day to take on its own pace. Whether spending time by the water, exploring the grounds or simply stepping back from it all, there is a strong sense of flexibility throughout.

Wellness

The spa and wellness facilities are extensive, with multiple treatment rooms, indoor pools, hammam and fitness areas forming a dedicated space for relaxation and recovery. A range of therapies, classes and wellbeing experiences supports both shorter visits and longer, more restorative stays.

Where

Located approximately 30 minutes from central Athens, around 9 km from Glyfada Marina and roughly 24 km from Elefthérios Venizélos Airport, the hotel combines convenient access with a clear sense of separation along the coast.
