For residents planning a weekend away or choosing accommodation for visiting friends and family, the selection offers a useful starting point. Below are the current award holders, with links to their websites.
The MICHELIN Key, introduced in 2024, recognises outstanding hotel stays.
The MICHELIN Star recognises exceptional restaurant cooking.
What do MICHELIN Keys mean?
MICHELIN inspectors assess architecture and interior design, service, character, value for the price and a hotel’s contribution to its setting. The award has three levels: One Key for a very special stay, Two Keys for an exceptional stay and Three Keys for an extraordinary stay. Keys assess the hotel experience, while Stars assess restaurants.
Three MICHELIN Keys: An Extraordinary Stay
Three Keys identify hotels offering MICHELIN’s highest level of distinction. These are properties whose hospitality and overall experience make them destinations in their own right.
Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens remains Greece’s only Three-Key hotel. Set on the coast at Vouliagmeni, it combines an Athens Riviera setting with access to the capital.
