Bristol Hotel in Thessaloniki 546 25, open June–October.
Built in 1960, Bristol Hotel stands as a mid-century landmark on Oplopiou Street, having served Thessaloniki's business and leisure travelers for over six decades.
The property underwent comprehensive restoration to honor its architectural heritage while introducing modern event facilities, creating a sophisticated urban wedding venue in Greece's second-largest city.
Its central location and four-star amenities make it a practical choice for destination celebrations.
What a find!! A really beautiful hotel with good service that isn’t too expensive. Right in the heart of the “foody” area and near to the port the hotel is ideally placed. Breakfast included but not exceptional - the only slight negative.
