What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
At the compact 22-room S Paul Hotel in Lemesos's old town, an ancient olive tree grows in the courtyard...
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Cobblestone alleys lead right outside to Limassol Castle, bustling cafe-lined squares, and the palm-fringed Molos seafront promenade.
The rooms
Minimalist interiors showcase solid cypress wood floors, exposed heritage stonework, walk-in rain showers, and natural Coco-Mat mattresses.
Atrium Restaurant
Tables fill the limestone colonnade and open courtyard, where guests gather for morning breakfast and evening tapas.
Lux Bar
Guests pull up to the fluted brass counter for signature cocktails and local wines beneath tiered glass chandeliers.
How it began
Built in the 1820s, the limestone building served as Limassol's first town hall in 1918 before a careful four-year family restoration.
