Grace Hotel Santorini

Grace Hotel Santorini, Auberge Resorts Collection has been recognized as the second best resort in Europe and 41st in the world – among 100 hotels – in Travel + Leisure’s (T+L) 2019 World’s Best Awards survey.

The awards are given to winners following an extensive reader survey conducted by T+L every year to recognize the best hotels. It is also among the most respected reader polls in the travel industry.

“It is an incredible honor to be named one of the best resorts in Europe and in the world,” said George Vlachopoulos, general manager of Grace Hotel Santorini.

“Santorini is known for its stunning beauty, and guests are naturally drawn to Grace Hotel, in part, for its picturesque setting on the island. But the reason they return year after year is because of our outstanding team, whose highly personalized service makes every stay unforgettable,” he added.
