Imperial Plus Urban Smart Hotel is the modern mid-range pick in this list, a 103-room hotel in the centre of Thessaloniki near Aristotelous Square and the Museum of Illusions. The rooms are designed for comfort, with memory foam beds, a pillow menu, hypoallergenic bedding, smart televisions with satellite channels, desks, bidets and designer toiletries. Public areas include a restaurant, a bar, a library and a business centre, and the hotel has a 24-hour front desk, a concierge and an elevator. Free wifi is included. It suits travellers who want a contemporary room and a central base, and who plan to spend most of the day out in the city.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in the city centre, near Aristotelous Square, the main public space of the city, which opens onto the seafront. From there the waterfront, the shopping streets, the markets and the Roman and Byzantine monuments of the centre are within walking distance. Exact distances are worth checking on a map when you book, as is the address. Taxis are easy to find for the Upper Town and for the airport, and metro stops in the centre make the rest of the city simple to reach.
The rooms and facilities
With 103 rooms, the hotel offers several room types, including city-view rooms, deluxe twin rooms and family suites. Rooms have air conditioning, laptop-compatible safes, electric kettles, tubs or showers and daily housekeeping. Free wifi is available in the rooms. Downstairs there is a restaurant and a bar, a library and a business centre, plus a banquet hall for events.
Breakfast is available at an extra charge, and dry cleaning and laundry services are offered. There is no pool listed, so this is a city stay rather than a resort stay. After a day of walking the centre, the library and the bar are quiet places to plan the next day, and the restaurant means you do not have to go out again if you are tired.
Who it suits
Couples, friends and business travellers who want a modern, central room. Children are welcome, though rollaway beds, extra beds and cribs are not available, so families should pick a family suite. Pets are not allowed. The premises are smoke-free, and the minimum check-in age is 18. Business travellers will find a desk in the room and a business centre downstairs, which makes the hotel practical for a working trip as well as a short break.
Good to know
Check-in starts at 2 pm and check-out is before noon. Parking is not mentioned, so ask the hotel if you are arriving by car, and consider arriving by taxi or airport bus instead. The building signage may show a slightly different name from the one used when you book, so look for the address on your confirmation. Free cancellation may apply on some rates, so check when you book.
