Inside, however, it’s a different story: a riot of, well, color, its 37 rooms never lacking for visual interest, whether that means ultra-saturated background colors, street art–inspired murals, or both.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Tsimiski Street shopping sits at the doorstep, with the tavernas of Ladadika just a short walk away.
The rooms
Graphic murals and saturated colors brighten high-ceilinged bedrooms, and select suites add private outdoor hot tubs on their terraces.
The spa
Therapists tailor bodywork and therapeutic massages in a first-floor treatment room lined with glass herb jars.
The Garden Bar
The bistro serves Greek breakfast buffets and daytime brunch beneath botanical murals and glowing red neon.
At the table
The backlit bar counter sits under a slatted wooden canopy, serving specialty coffee by day and cocktails at night.
How it began
The listed 1925 building rose after the Great Fire of Thessaloniki, originally serving as a commercial furniture showroom.
