Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens

This is a fantastic hotel. My husband and I stayed at the Four Seasons-Athens in February which is winter/ low touristic season. The hotel was quiet with amazing sea view… which exactly what we needed. The weather was decently good, so we enjoyed the morning coffee from our room’s balcony, and watched the sunrise and the sea every morning. What makes this hotel high end is the staff. Very attentive and very friendly. We have never encountered an issue. Contrary, the smile never leaves their faces, and everyone was looking after us in any possible way. I will give some examples: 1- As we rented a car, the parking man was very nice at any moment we arrive or leave the hotel. Every-time he offered us drinks while we wait for our car to arrive from the hotel underground parking (which is maximum one minute if wait) 2-One time, I was searching my bag looking for my room’s key. The receptionist ran to me offering another key (while I was still looking in my bag), and that without me even asking. 3-The front office sent me a WhatsApp message warning me that taxi drivers will go on strike the day I’ll leave Athens. They offered us limousine arrangement if we like. But we had the rented car, and the strike didn’t affect us. I cannot imagine if we didn’t have the car, and we didn’t know about the strike, what could have happened? And just FYI, the strike included uber services. These type of caring for guests is what makes the stay different. Regarding the breakfast : it was a top notch. The fresh morning juice is to die for (carrot, orange, and ginger). The toiletries in the room are high end. The room was super clean, and anytime we needed anything , we only had to ask once. I truly enjoyed my stay at the Four Seasons Looking forward to come again

We stayed at the Four Seasons for Christmas Let’s begin with the staff. This was by far the most personable staff of any hotel we have stayed. Every greeting was a nice conversation or discussion and very personalized. There was a small issue with maintenance of our room. The staff went out of their way to not only remedy the issue but also to make things incredibly comfortable for us. The Christmas brunch was amazing as was the breakfast. Little things like you glass never being empty, knowing your name as you pass by and remembering your previous order was truly a 5star experience. A great experience for us and a memorable Christmas!

I regret to say that this was a thoroughly disappointing experience, especially coming from a hotel under the Four Seasons brand, which is known for its high standards. Unfortunately, this property is not suitable for non-smokers, as it prioritizes smokers at the expense of other guests' comfort and wellbeing. The issue lies in the hotel’s policy (or lack thereof) regarding smoking on room balconies. Smokers are freely allowed to smoke on their balconies, which completely ruins the fresh air experience for neighboring rooms. Worse yet, the smell of smoke inevitably drifts into your room, leaving it smelling unpleasant and stale. For non-smokers who value clean air, this is unacceptable and undermines the entire stay. It’s baffling that a prestigious resort like Four Seasons doesn’t enforce better standards for their guests’ experience. A simple solution—separating smoking rooms and balconies from non-smoking ones—would resolve this issue entirely. Yet, it seems this has been overlooked, allowing non-smokers’ rights to fresh air to be disregarded. This is not what I expect from a luxury hotel, and it’s a complete regret to have stayed here. I would strongly discourage non-smokers from visiting this property, as your comfort and basic expectation of fresh air will not be met. A disappointing failure from a brand that usually sets the benchmark for hospitality.

I cannot begin to tell you how much I just LOVED this place. It’s become one of my favorite FS properties! From the etiquette of the staff, beautiful surrounding landscape, and luxurious setup of the room, I was just enamored the whole way through. It was also my birthday week and the delicious cakes and service we got was fantastic. I just smile and my heart warms when I think of this place. We stayed in the Nafsika building overlooking the water and it was worth it. I also recommend the in room dining. The food is 10/10! Just would love to come back here again and again!

Stayed for three nights and we were most impressed with this hotel. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. Our room was ready on arrival even though it was 2 hours before official check in. We used the bar several afternoon and really enjoyed interaction with staff . There was a large wedding on our last evening which didn’t impact our stay at all which is very unusual in our experience. We will be back in the warmer weather to enjoy the pools and sea.
