Known as xenia, the Greek art of hospitality is legendary. So it is with a warm embrace and a proud heart that Four Seasons Astir Palace Hotel Athens welcomes two of the industry’s finest talents “home” with the appointments of Apostolos Dimou as Executive Chef and Michalis Chatzikalimeris as Executive Pastry Chef.

A new 99-roomed design-led contemporary boutique hotel located in South Kensington, Xenia is scheduled to open in May 2013. Situated in an artfully restored Victorian building with contemporary interiors, Xenia will comprise a destination restaurant, bar with outdoor terrace, and private dining and events spaces in addition to its bedrooms.
