US and UK Lists for 2026 – Greek City Times


Condé Nast readers split on Greece’s best hotels. Americans pick Santorini. Britons pick a wider map.

Katikies Santorini is the top hotel in Greece in the 2026 US Readers’ Choice Awards from Condé Nast Traveler, on a score of 99.09. The UK list starts somewhere else: Canaves Epitome in Oia.

On the American list, Grace Hotel, part of the Auberge Collection and also in Santorini, is second on 98.89. Athens then takes three places in a row. The Dolli, at the Acropolis, is third on 98.49. Four Seasons Astir Palace is fourth on 97.44. Hotel Grande Bretagne is fifth on 97.33, level with Katikies Mykonos in sixth. Andronis Luxury Suites in Santorini is seventh on 97.3. Canaves Epitome is eighth on 97.27. Mystique, in Oia, is ninth on 97.26. Kalesma Mykonos is tenth on 97.25.

Five of those ten are in Santorini, two in Mykonos, three in Athens. Nothing outside those three places makes the US ten. Less than two points separate first from last.

British readers spread the vote. After Canaves Epitome, The Dolli is second, then Mandarin Oriental at Costa Navarino in Pylos, The Rooster on Antiparos, and Kalesma Mykonos. The Roc Club in Athens is sixth, Astir Palace seventh, Grande Bretagne eighth, Canaves Oia Suites ninth and Perivolas Lifestyle Houses in Santorini tenth.

Modern white hotel buildings with outdoor pool and sun loungers in Greece, reflecting a minimalist architectural style.
Perched above Ornos Bay, Kalesma is a secluded Mykonian retreat where authentic Greek hospitality meets contemporary Cycladic design.

The Dolli is the only Greek hotel in the top three of both lists, and the highest-placed Athens hotel on each. Grecotel, which owns it, said the property has been picked by Condé Nast readers for a fourth year. The Roc Club, also Grecotel, is on the UK list only.

US top 10: Katikies Santorini; Grace Hotel, Santorini; The Dolli, Athens; Four Seasons Astir Palace, Athens; Hotel Grande Bretagne, Athens; Katikies Mykonos; Andronis Luxury Suites, Santorini; Canaves Epitome, Oia; Mystique, Oia; Kalesma Mykonos.
