In 1997 the Mediterranean Palace opened in the Ladadika district, with its tempting restaurants and cafes; its location, comforts, and service continue to make it Thessaloniki's best large centrally located hotel. Everyone I know who has stayed here agrees that this is the place to stay in Thessaloniki -- but not if you want a minimalist approach to decor. This hotel is self-consciously old-fashioned and elegant. Balconied front rooms overlook the harbor, and almost every unit is large and furnished with comfortable beds (with elegant silk and brocade coverlets), spiffy wall-to-wall carpeting, and cozy chairs, including leather recliners. Many of the guest rooms have especially nice touches, such as decorative moldings and large walk-in closets -- and if you want to make a phone call from your bathroom, this is the place to do it. As for the suites, with their large living rooms, kitchenettes, and bedrooms, I could happily live in one for months. It's no small wonder that the hotel consistently appears in Odyssey magazine's list of the best hotels in Greece. Ask whether the price quoted includes the excellent buffet breakfast and be sure to check for special packages, when the rates have been known to drop as low as 100€.
