Travelers' Choice
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 city square and mighty mountain, the expansive horizon, the endless blue of the sea. Right in the heart of city, the Electra Palace Thessaloniki is ideally located whether you are in town for business or pleasure: within walking distance from the shopping district, the Thessaloniki International Exhibition Center, most major monuments, museums and sites, the Ladadika area and right across from Olympion cinema that hosts the Thessaloniki International Film Festival, it is the place to stay when meeting with business partners, attending trade shows, enjoying the city's rich cultural scene or exploring its nightlife. Featuring comfortable, well equipped rooms, indoor and outdoor pools, a gym and spa, a wonderful restaurant on the top floor, and the renowned Electra Hotels and Resorts service, it is also the par excellence place to unwind and relax, enjoying unparalleled views and the hospitality you deserve.

Although my wife and I often visit Thessaloniki, it was the first time we stayed at this emblematic hotel. Unfortunately.. If you stay at this hotel, there is no return to go and stay at another hotel in the city. Quality, level, excellent facilities, and the staff who are simply perfect. The hospitality we received was exemplary, and the hotel's services are on another level. We had booked a superior room on the 3rd floor with a view of the square and the sea, excellent. allthough i have to mention that there was some noise from below despite the soundproofing. The breakfast was very good both in terms of variety and quality.Definately it is expensive but this is compensated by the perfection in every small detail of the stay.Highly reccommended!

Very well located, in the beautiful setting of Aristotelous Square, close to public transport, shopping, bars, restaurants and attractions. The excellent restaurant is located on the top floor, overlooking the city and the sea. The rooms are spacious and quiet and the staff is friendly, efficient and multilingual. In the pleasant lounge you can enjoy moments of peace and tranquility. The Electra Palace Thessaloniki is a wonderful hotel in every way, to come back again and again.

I often travel to Thessaloniki, and each time, I need to change hotels. This trip was for pleasure, not business, and it was a great experience. The reception staff were extremely good and very polite. I would also like to extend my thanks to the breakfast staff for their warmth and friendliness. I definitely have positive feedback for the hotel: it’s a solid 5 stars. Overall, everything was very good. See you next time!

From the moment we walked into the lobby of this majestic building, we were transported to a luxurious place of serenity, comfort, and tranquillity. The staff always had a smile, and were always willing to help us with ANY of our needs. They were an excellent source to help us discover Thessaloniki. The rooms were spectacular (we got the side sea view rooms) giving us a glimpse of the hustle and bustle of the city below. Breakfast or sunset at the Roof Top restaurant is a must!

Spa : 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 to Rafaela did a great therapy to me. I did an Inner-balance (anti-stress massage). It was really released after her treatment. I was feeling painful on spot A without tell her but she lower the power immediately and asked me if it was here painful at spot A which really impressed me !!! Breakfast : Good quality food but the seats were crowded actually and out door seats were too hot. Maybe can build some sunshade on the building. Room & Bed : not so big as you’ll expect from the price but it’s ok. Location : Excellent !!! Can go almost everywhere with foot !

We stayed here for three nights while on a tour. Everyone was very nice and helpful. Our shower drain was clogged and the fixed it while we were out and it was perfect after that. The breakfast was full of many options with fresh squeezed fruit juices. I loved the location close to the water for night walks and sitting in the square.

Far from being the unforgettable stay that the Electra Palace, Thessaloniki promises, this is an experience we would rather forget. A pity as it was a special occasion for us and I asked them when booking for a nice room. As with several other reviewers on this site we booked a Premium Seaview room based on the description and photo on the website that depicted a large room with a chair and sofa. We were given a very small room with a tub chair and very little space. When I spoke to reception they insisted I was in a Premium room but did offer to “upgrade” us. Yes! Upgrade us to the room we booked and paid for! Unfortunately, it was too late and too much hassle to move as we had unpacked and were getting ready for dinner. The photos depict the difference in the rooms we booked and what we received. This one of several reviews on Trip Advisor about this, at best, misleading practice and the website still shows the large Premium room with the extra space and furniture. So be aware! Check that the room you are allocated is the room type you booked and paid for. A truly unforgettable experience for us for all the wrong reasons

Dear Guest, We would like to thank you for taking the time to send us your honest feedback after your recent stay in our hotel. We really value customer feedback and we want to offer a very nice experience to all our guests. The room type in which you stayed in, is a Premium Double Sea View room. Nonetheless, we understand that you did not find your room satisfying due to the lack of sofa. You also mention that the photograph on our website includes a sofa and can be misleading. We have identified the confusion caused looking at the photograph and the information posted on our website and we had recently similar feedback. The room with the sofa is basically a triple room, the design and aesthetic are exactly the same with the double room but they differ in size and the sofa. The square meters shown online for each room category are correct but we only include pictures with the sofa which can be interpreted as a standard feature in all premium sea view rooms. Since we can understand how it can confuse guests we will adjust that to include pictures of the room with both a sofa and without to avoid confusion. The photoshooting is already done and the updated photos will be uploaded shortly. The experience of our guests is of outmost importance to us and that is why as soon as you mentioned it, we suggested to move you to another room free of charge. And of course your special occasion of celebration was something important to us as you saw later that evening when we brought you our offer to enjoy it after your dinner. We hope we get the chance to welcome you back to the Electra Palace Thessaloniki and we remain at your disposal for anything you may need in the meantime. Kind regards, Alexia Kolatskou/Guest Relations Manager

September in Thessaloniki is a very busy period due to a national forum/exhibition. My husband and I visited the Hotel to celebrate our 4th year Anniversary! OH MY GOD!! That was one of the best experiences we have ever had in a hotel... like EVER! Super friendly staff, super helpful and sociable! Alexia at the Guest Relations department... just a super star... responsible for all the preparations, the surprises in the room (including a bottle of Prosecco and a lovely chocolate cake along with a Happy Anniversary card!), the little touches and the great smile, that makes you feel in heaven! What a lovely person she is! Lena from the Reservations Department... during fully booked period for the enitre city and the suburbs, she managed to provide us with an unbelievable upgrade to a GORGEOUS Junior Suite... I mean... these people are making the Impossible... Possible! The Reception and the Concierge teams... JUST SO HELPFUL! And smiley, and just... human I suppose... providing a respect that you can hardly find around... The Bar Team... I mean really Super Team! There is no NO for them... Unbelievable service. The breakfast???? Super yummie, with a huge range of different type of food... Chef kisses ! The SPA Team.. Marina with her huge smile and the two Marias who looked after us... exceptional! A super duper Housekeeping Team, who made sure that room was just sooo sparkly clean... and finally the Maestro of this chorus... The General Manager, who must have made something so right, that the people who are working in this hotel are so happy! Not one grumpy face! Thank you All from the bottom of our hearts for that unique experience we had for our 4th Wedding Anniversary. You have two loyal customers for sure! Until next time! See you soon! THANK YOU!

An excellent hotel, we stayed for 4 nights. Check in and check out easy. Room comfortable and very clean. Used the roof top pool each afternoon and it was like having our own private pool. Only 2 other people used it each time we were there. Breakfast was plentiful and it was a delight to sit outside on the balcony having breakfast and enjoying the view over the square and the sea. Perfect place to stay for exploring , absolutely central. The only criticsm which could also apply to other places that we ate at was that again, the smokers would monopolise the outdoor areas which of course is where everyone wants to sit for the fantastic views. Even when they were a couple of tables away the smoke could still be smelt and it was unpleasant whilst having breakfast. Would it be too much to ask smokers not to smoke at breakfast ?
