The iconic Astir redevelopment project transforms the historic Astir Resort to a world-class center of international hospitality and tourism experience and recreation. The new resort will be operated by the leading hospitality brand of Four Seasons. The resort consists of two stunning independent hotels, Nafsika and Arion, the bungalows, and a vast array of guest and visitor amenities that include 8 restaurants, conference and entertainment areas and premium athletic facilities in a site area of 301.865,00m2 in the striking Lemos peninsula. The Astir project also includes the development of a number of luxury private residencies in the location of the former Aphrodite Hotel.
AETER Architects were the Lead architects of the entire project, appointed from the beginning of the project schedule. Working with distinguished international and Greek interior designers and top consultants, the team delivered an exceptional array of guest amenities and public areas in an aesthetically consistent whole that highlights the sensitive and distinctive architecture of the existing buildings.
AETER also designed several new FOH structures in the resort: the new Standalone restaurant, the Guardhouses, the tennis club, and the Nafsika Porte-cochere extension among others. The new structures follow a similar sensibility of careful insertion in context as the existing buildings, creatively using local materials of excellent quality in a more contemporary language.
The Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens successfully opened in March 2019.
