Kefalonia Grand Hotel in Argostoli, open June – August, October.
Built in 1970 and extensively renovated in 2015, Kefalonia Grand Hotel is a restored landmark on Argostoli's main boulevard, combining mid-century architecture with modern hospitality infrastructure.
Originally a traditional Cephalonian establishment, the property underwent comprehensive upgrades to its 86 rooms, event facilities, and dining venues while preserving its classical facade.
Today it operates as a full-service hotel venue with dedicated wedding services and multiple function spaces overlooking the Ionian Sea.
Overall a great place to stay. The breakfast is amazing, and the rooms, while on the smaller side, are well appointed. The staff is helpful. The location is perfect to get anywhere. The restaurant is also very good.
