Classical Makedonia Palace (aka Makedonia Palace)

This hotel almost always makes it onto Odyssey magazine's prestigious list of Greece's best hotels -- and, if you are here on business or traveling with children, this may be the place for you. If you're here to see and experience Thessaloniki, I think you'll find it -- like many luxury hotel enclaves -- too isolated. There are lots of creature comforts here and, in summer, lots of Greek families on holiday -- not to mention high-stepping gamblers. (Europe's largest casino is next door.) In the usual manner of Greek hotel decor, the serious glitz is concentrated in the lobby and the guest rooms are rather bland, many with somber headboards, dowdy chairs and curtains, but spacious bathrooms and balconies. All units have balconies and picture windows, but if you stay here, insist on a seaside room. (Why pay all that money and not have the view?) If you don't want to head back into town after a day's sightseeing, the hotel's restaurants include a sushi bar and rooftop restaurant, serving up international cuisine with splendid views over the city and Gulf.

Facilities:
3 restaurants; 2 bars; 2 outdoor pools (saltwater and freshwater); tennis courts; children's playground; health club and spa; concierge; airport pickup arranged; business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service
