MORE DETAILS

NICE TO KNOW

The hotel has a rooftop terrace with stunning panoramic views over the city.

About the rooms

The refined use of colour in the rooms goes perfectly with the elegant Italian furniture and original artworks.

Our favourite room

The junior suite is just a bit more spacious than the deluxe rooms and features a balcony with city or courtyard garden views. You also have a separate seating area where you can relax.

Enjoy a refreshing swim

In lively Thessaloniki, where city life buzzes and the promenade invites a fresh sea breeze, you won't miss a pool for a moment. Here, it's all about exploring, tasting and enjoying the unique atmosphere of this city by the sea.

Work out and wind down

The hotel's spa can be found in the sister hotel 'City hotel' next door. You'll find a combination of spa treatments and day packages. Thessaloníki is also the base of many excursions: the three fingers of the sunny Chalkidiki region: Kassandra, Sithonia and Athos, the little port of Kavala, or Vergina, where the greatest treasures of Mount Athos can be admired.

Children

The hotel is suitable for families with children but no extra facilities are provided.
