Metropolitan Hotel in Thessaloniki 546 42, open June–October.
Metropolitan Hotel stands out as Thessaloniki's only luxury venue offering direct waterfront access on Thermaikos Bay combined with a contemporary urban setting.
Located on Vasilissis Olgas Avenue, this 4-star property provides 250+ square meters of event space with floor-to-floor windows overlooking Greece's second-largest city.
The venue's architectural design prioritizes natural light and unobstructed views, distinguishing it from traditional inland hotels throughout the region.
Not a good experience - the hotel was full with several kids from basketball teams for a local tournament which were continuously in the corridor shouting, running, screaming, playing ball, nocking on our door!!! We did not sleep the first day! Nobody from the hotel bothered to tell them to keep at least moderately quiet!!! Also the non existent soundproofing did not help!!! The hotel did not even think to at least reserve a floor for the non Basketball visitors and put us in a floor with only kids around!!!! It is a shame because the hotel is in good shape, great location and breakfast is satisfactory. Apparently the management do not respect themselves allowing their hotel to be treated so disrespectfully!!!! Update: after complaining to hotel reception they moved us from the 3rd to the 8th floor in an upgraded room - thank you for this 🙏
