The five-star Grand Hotel Palace is a luxury lifestyle hotel, around four kilometers away from downtown Thessaloniki. The hotel is absolutely gorgeous, housed in a neoclassical building, evoking elegance and a strong design aesthetic inside out. In Grand Hotel Palace every detail matters! Starting with the entrance area and ground floor, whose appearance and arrangement clearly expose the character of the hotel. Elegant furnishing, chandeliers, and a luxurious marbled floor contribute to the classy ambiance Grand Hotel Palace wants to create for its guests. Grand Hotel Palace definitely has a personality of its own with artistic exhibition-like corners that create a unique look and feel. On the ground floor, there are plenty of comfortable seating areas that provide a relaxing atmosphere to guests and visitors for both work and leisure. When it comes to business meetings, conferences, and other social occasions, 13 dynamic and fully customizable meeting spaces can easily host such events. Also located on the ground floor, the hotel’s fine dining venue called “Seros”, as well as the “Marco Polo” lounge bar which is the ideal spot for a relaxing drink before or after your dinner. On summer days, guests can enjoy their coffee, drink, and meal in the hotel’s courtyard named “The Garden”. Each morning, a lavish Greek buffet breakfast is served, comprising different kinds of bread, cold meats and cheeses, sausages, eggs (fried, scrambled), pies, Greek yogurt, pure honey, cereals, nuts, dried and fresh fruits, pastries, coffee, juices, and more. The Grand Hotel Palace uses fresh and great-quality products sourced locally. Moving on to the accommodation options, the Grand Hotel Palace features 248 elegant rooms, including 9 suites, characterized by a modern or classic style of great warmth and a welcoming atmosphere. I personally spent my 2-day stay in Thessaloniki in the Classic Suite. This particular suite is divided into two generously sized rooms; a spacious living-sitting area, and an elegant bedroom with a king-sized bed. What’s worth mentioning is that the suite enjoys its own ambiance, and is decorated with eclectic furniture, and other vintage pieces. The use of a palette of calming neutral tones is carefully selected to deliver the elegance and laid-back sophistication that encourages guests to settle in and stay for a while! The Classic Suite features a wide balcony overlooking the hotel’s inner courtyard, two separate bathrooms (both with a bathtub), and two closets. Guests are offered bathrobes, slippers, and skincare bathroom amenities. Overall, the suite offers all the comforts you would expect, with a work desk, a spacious sofa, armchairs, a dining table, and a mini-bar with coffee and tea facilities. It comes without saying that Grand Hotel Palace exceeded my expectations. It was spotless, with high-quality rooms, and high-quality services. I had an exceptional stay and I would strongly recommend it to anyone that would like to b
