A Landmark Recognition in Greece’s Hospitality Scene
Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens has been awarded 3 Michelin Keys, the highest distinction in the newly introduced Michelin Guide’s hotel ratings for Greece. This places the hotel among a select group of properties worldwide recognised for offering an exceptional guest experience.
What Are Michelin Keys and Why Do They Matter?
Michelin Keys, introduced globally in 2023 and making their debut in Greece this year, function as a counterpart to the Michelin stars awarded to restaurants. They assess hotels based on five criteria: architecture and interior design, quality of service, personality and character, value for money, and contribution to the local experience.
The 2025 Michelin Guide for Greece features 68 hotels, with only one receiving the coveted 3-Key status—the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens. According to the Michelin Guide, this designation reflects an unparalleled level of hospitality and luxury.

Located on the Athenian Riviera, the Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens blends contemporary design with its mid-century modern heritage. The property offers a range of accommodations, from rooms and suites to private bungalows with sea views.
