Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens, the first Four Seasons in Greece, is open now.
Located on the shores of the Athenian Riviera, the 300-room hotel is spread across 74 acres. The hotel is on a peninsula 30 minutes from the city centre and a half hour from Athens International Airport, enabling faster transfers.
Sam Ioannidis, general manager for the hotel, says: ?It?s a landmark day in so many ways as we welcome our first guests to the new Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens.?
He added: ?So many of our people are locals or native-born Greeks returning to their homeland from around the world, or people who have deep roots in this culture and finally have the opportunity to live and work here. This heritage makes us even more excited to share it all with our guests ? whether it?s your first time in Greece or you?ve been here many times before, we promise that we?ll give you an experience that only Four Seasons can deliver.?
?Everyone is aware of the wealth of ancient history to be found in Greece, but savvy travellers know there are also many other reasons to fall in love with Athens now,? says Chef Concierge George Vournazos. ?In addition to helping guests plan the best ways to make the most of their time at the Acropolis and other major museums, the summer calendar is filled with performing arts, from the Release Athens music festival throughout June to orchestral, opera and dance events at the Athens Concert Hall and Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center.?
For art lovers, the Benaki Museum is currently featuring works by artists who were influenced by Yiannis Moralis, one of Greece?s greatest 20th century icons. ?Guests can also enjoy our in-house collection of close to 2,000 works by mostly contemporary Greek artists, and we are very pleased to collaborate with the Benaki Museum in hosting an on-site museum shop within the Hotel.?
Holidaymakers can take advantage of the hotel's opening offer of 20% savings on the room rate plus daily breakfast, the offer is extended through the end of 2019. Travellers are also invited to take advantage of the Stay Longer ? Sixth Night Free package offering a complimentary night with every five nights paid.
