The result of countless hours of evaluation by MICHELIN Inspectors, our first announcement of Key hotels in Greece arrives just in time for travelers to plan a spring or summer trip to what is without a doubt among the most blessed hotel scenes in the world.
Like the MICHELIN Stars for restaurants, the MICHELIN Keys are our most outstanding hotels. Jump straight to the list or check out some of the highlights of the 2025 Greek Key hotels, below.
A Three-Key Selection on the Riviera
At first glance, it may seem imposing. The Four Seasons Astir Palace is massive, both in physicality and reputation. With a legacy dating back to 1958, the guest list includes names like Nelson Mandela and Jackie Kennedy. But from the very moment of arrival, our Inspectors felt a welcoming, laid-back, leisurely vibe at this historic beachfront site that more or less invented the modern Athens Riviera, a glamorous stretch of coastline just outside the capital.
Astir Palace is a true, self-contained getaway. Expect: many restaurants, three on-site bays ensconced in trees, yacht excursions, visits to the temple of Poseidon, olive oil tastings, on-site tennis, pottery classes, and nearly any other diversion, luxury, or convenience you might imagine.

Island Mentality
Over two-thirds of the Greek hotels on this list make their homes on Greek islands, a testament to the incredible appeal of the many archipelagos under the Greek flag. Some of these hotels represent the very best of what travelers expect from utopian settings like Mykonos and Santorini. Others buck the enduring stereotypes with all-out swings on design, or with architectural concepts that reinvent centuries-old defense towers or landmark manors. All are gorgeous hotels that win on service, atmosphere, and value.
