The Best Europe Hotel Openings of 2023

One&Only Aesthesis, Glifada, Greece

The brand’s first resort in Greece is situated on the Athenian Riviera. Formerly the Asteria beach club, a celebrity hotspot dating back to the 1950s, the revamp remains true to those glamorous roots while conjuring One&Only luxury. To that end, the exterior slats of the curved central building mimic traditional Greek screens, while windows frame views of the main pool and Aegean Sea. The 127 bungalows and villas effortlessly flow between the outside spaces and interiors, where timber and local marble in shades of pearl white and sand meet stone feature walls and slatted timber pergolas.
