Electra Palace Hotel in Aristotle Square, Thessaloniki

Majestic: this word is not an overstatement when it comes to the Electra Palace hotel in Thessaloniki. Built in one of the most impressive city squares of Greece, Aristotelous Sq., facing the endless sea of the Thermaikos Gulf, its architecture at once imposing and noble, it is one of the city’s architectural gems.

Inside the hotel’s Byzantine-inspired exterior, hides a neoclassical heart: wood paneling, marble inlay and wooden floors, plush carpets, cabriole and chesterfield sofas, ornate furniture, luxurious details, generous amenities and, of course, breathtaking views: on a clear day one can easily see as far as mount Olympus across the gulf. Beneath the Electra Palace Thessaloniki’s windows and balconies, lies the lively center of a vibrant city: Aristotelous Square. In between the city square and the mighty mountain, the expansive horizon, the endless blue of the sea.
