Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts will reflag the two hotels
that make up Greece's Astir Palace Resort after the property completes a $120
million renovation next year.
The hotel will be Four Seasons' first in Greece.
The Four Seasons Astir Palace Athens will have about 300
rooms and as many as 13 luxury residences.
Situated on a 75-acre peninsula 16 miles south of Athens
proper, the resort will have a beachfront promenade, infinity pools, an
upgraded marina and a Nobu restaurant.
The hotel's interiors will be redesigned by New York-based
Meyer Davis Studio, whose work includes the Four Seasons Houston, Chicago's W
Hotel Lakeshore and Miami's 1 Hotel South Beach.
The resort was developed with beachfront bungalows in the
1960s before the 162-room Arion Resort & Spa was completed in 1967. The
162-room Nafsika Resort, which has since become the Westin Athens, was built in
1980.
