Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens

Athens, Greece

In times gone by, the Astir Palace hotel hosted famous guests from Aristotle Onassis to Frank Sinatra. Now, after a $280 million revamp by new proprietor Four Seasons, it’s heralding a new era—and still in touch with its Aegean roots. Its spa was inspired in part by ancient Greek traditions, and includes an aroma steam grotto. Rooms start at around $550 a night. —Billy Perrigo
