Description

On Thessaloniki's seafront a short walk from the centre, the Makedonia Palace WorldHotels Luxury in Thessaloniki, Greece, is a grand waterfront hotel where spacious rooms look out over the Thermaic Gulf or the city, fitted with free Wi-Fi, refined comforts and Coco-Mat beds, with connecting rooms for families. A celebrated restaurant and a much-praised breakfast pair Mediterranean cooking with sweeping views of the sea and the landmark White Tower, while lounges and bars open onto the promenade. Personalised service, a wellness area and elegant event spaces round out a stay by the water. Thessaloniki is northern Greece's vibrant second city, a seafront capital layered with Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman history. The White Tower stands sentinel on the waterfront, the broad Aristotelous Square opens to the sea, and a buzzing food scene of tavernas, mezze bars and markets fills the lanes behind the promenade. Students give the city a youthful energy, and a long seafront promenade draws an evening stroll past sculptures and sunset views over the gulf. The city holds a remarkable group of fifteen Paleochristian and Byzantine Monuments of Thessaloniki, recognised by the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, among them the fourth-century Rotunda and the mosaic-filled church of Hagios Demetrios. Roman ruins, hillside ramparts and the cafés of Ano Poli, the old upper town, crown the slopes above the bay.

"Perfect location and a wonderful stay!"
Santi P, 04 Septembre 2026

Makedonia Palace is perfectly located — close to the city centre and in my favourite area of Thessaloniki, right by the sea and near the Concert Hall. It's also just a short distance from my favourite restaurant, making the location absolutely ideal for me. A truly special place to stay! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Owner Response, 04 Septembre 2026

"Amazing breakfast spread"
Pearl65, 03 Mai 2026

This was part of our tour, so it was chosen for me. However I really liked it. The entrance was very grand and spacious. It's a city location so obviously there's road noise but the double glazing was good and it didn't trouble us, although we were on the road side of the building. The breakfast was outstanding with many more choices than a lot of hotels. All well presented and delicious. Hot and cold. Good rooms. Safe. Fridge. Kettle and coffee pods. Water. Adequate storage. Comfy bed. Quiet a/c. A pet hate of mine is when they have notices about saving water, yet they still replace towels even when they are hung up for reuse!!! I resorted to writing a note (thanks to Google translate) asking for the bins to be emptied and nothing else done in the room, which they complied with. It's not exactly central and is a 45 min walk to main tavernas but there are loads closer too. A very well stocked supermarket is only 5 mins away. We even managed to have our daily kefir! The city football team stayed there during our stay!

Owner Response, 03 Mai 2026

Dear Pearl65 Thank you very much for sharing your excellent rating about our hotel! It is our greatest pleasure to read that you had a very pleasant experience of stay with us! Please rest assured that we will take all your observations under serious consideration. We can't wait to hosting you again soon! Sincerely Alkis Sotiriou General Manager

"Service That Makes the Difference"
Zeljko M, 07 Mars 2026

My wife and I spent four days at this excellent hotel and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The impeccable service truly sets this property apart and gives it a distinctive charm. The rooms are very comfortable, the breakfast is generous and beautifully presented, and the outdoor pool area is complemented by attentive and professional service. Our only minor observation concerns the additional charge for cappuccino at breakfast — it might be more appropriate to include it in the breakfast price. Overall, a refined and highly enjoyable experience.

Owner Response, 07 Mars 2026

Dear zeljkom726 We are all very delighted that you experienced an amazing stay in our hotel! Thank you very much for sharing your kind comments!

"One of the best hotels i've been."
RJencs, 27 Février 2026

Absolutely stunning hotel. Location was great, staff was great, food was great. Our room was amazing. If i'm going back to Thessaloniki, this is the place where i'll stay again. This time it was me and my wife on honey moon but next time we plan to go with kids. Really beautiful scenery around the hotel and we had great look from balcony. It was really safe there and so great, can't even express my thoughts.

"Truly a Star class hotel in Thessaloniki"
Kamal L, 31 Octobre 2025

We had a very nice stay in this hotel for about 5 nights. Being located in an easily accessible location, it was very convenient for us. Also, we got a room facing the beach, and it was awesome. The rooms were in good condition and spacious. The hotel staff at the reception and restaurant were very professional and kind. At the departure, our flight was in the early morning, and the staff members volunteered to provide us with breakfast as take-away. We would love to go there again.

"Modern, luxury hotel with spectacular views in Thessaloniki"
Andrea W, 23 Octobre 2025

Modern, luxury hotel right on the promenade and waterfront in Thessaloniki. The rooms, service, food and drink were all first-rate. The views are spectacular and it's great to walk out of your hotel right onto the promenade. Thessaloniki is a beautiful city with a troubled past, but it is well worth a visit.

Dear andreawF450GM We are very grateful for your exceptional feedback and we appreciate your kind comments. Our greatest compliment is to win your loyalty ! Looking forward to your next visit. Kind regards Alkis Sotiriou General Manager

"Great location"
Chris29AZ, 01 Septembre 2025

Excellent location with great sea view, accommodating staff at reservation and reception and also very convenient valet parking, only negative that omelette is not included at breakfast unless you pay extra (unjustifiable for a 5 star hotel especially since another well known hotel at the airport offers it and on top it includes free glasses of champagne) and that toilets at the pool area need refurbishment

"Top massage"
Markh1205, 28 Août 2025

Nice 2 night stay, we booked last minute and wanted a bit of luxury at the end of the holiday. we arrived at 1100 and were able to check in straight away! Pool area was great and we used it both days, breakfast was a good selection but tad cold for the hot choices and as advised before latte coffee you have to pay for. We had a great massage also !

"Another wonderful stay at the Makedonia Palace"
CStrav, 30 Juillet 2025

We recently stayed at the Makedonia Palace. This is our “go to” hotel when we are in Thessaloniki. The hotel is beautiful with a lovely outdoor terrace, pool and an amazing spa! The staff are very professional, courteous and efficient in all areas of the hotel. I must give a special shout out to the cleaning staff - they are amazing! The entire hotel is spotless and the rooms are always cleaned to such a high standard. The cleaning staff are always super professional and so helpful! One thing that always puzzles me is why the hotel only provides one bottle of complimentary water in the room….regardless of the length of stay! One bottle that needs to cover drinking water, tea and coffee…..for an entire week! (in our case). It's the only 5 star hotel that we have ever stayed at that is so frugal with something as simple as water! Otherwise though, an amazing stay!

Owner Response, 30 Juillet 2025

Dear CStrav Thank you so much for sharing your excellent rating and your very kind comments. We are so delighted that you had an amazing experience of stay in our hotel and that you enjoyed the perfection of cleanliness in all areas and the exceptional service of our kind and professional staff. About the water kindly note that we offer a complimentary bottle of mineral water on the day of the arrival. For the rest of their stay , all our valuable guests may order anything they need from our 24 hours room service. Furthermore , please be informed that the water in the room is drinkable. We hope soon to having the chance to welcoming you back again soon. Sincerely Alkis Sotiriou General Manager

Louise L, 24 Juillet 2025

A stunning hotel in a fantastic location. From the moment I stepped out of the taxi, the Makedonia team made me feel welcome and at home. The entire hotel is spotless and clean. All the staff are friendly and approachable, nothing is too much to ask. They always smiled and greeted me each day. The food is amazing, fresh and great quality. The pool area is good, plenty of space to relax. My room was stunning. The view and sunset was beautiful each day. My room was refreshed and cleaned every day. Good choices at breakfast and quick service. I didn't get time to try the Spa but heard great reviews from other guests. I will definitely return to this beautiful hotel and city. Thank you for wonderful stay and experience Makedonia Palace.

"Relaxing Stay"
vickysofiadi, 29 Juin 2025

I had such a lovely experience at Makedonia Palace! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. The staff were incredibly polite and attentive, always ready to help with a smile. You can tell they care about creating a positive experience for every guest. The space itself is beautifully decorated- stylish without being over the top, and super clean. Whether you're there for coffee, a relaxed lunch, or drinks with friends, the vibe is just right: relaxed, cozy, and a bit elegant. The menu had some great choices and everything we ordered was delicious and clearly made with quality ingredients. I also really appreciated how fast everything arrived, even though the place was pretty busy. One of my favorite parts was the little walk you can take along the seafront, it's such a peaceful way to start or end your day, and it leads you right into the heart of the city.

Owner Response, 29 Juin 2025

Dear vickysofiadi Thank you for your recent stay and for awarding us a perfect rating. Your glowing feedback made our day! We're dedicated to providing memorable experiences, and your satisfaction lets us know we're on the right track. We eagerly await your next visit and the chance to exceed your expectations once more.

"Beklentilerimizi karşıladı…"
mtufangurel, 07 Juin 2025

Öncelikle temizligini arastirarak tercih etmistik bir problem yasamadik. Konumu da diger tercih sebebimizdi gercekten iyi bir noktada. Kahvaltisi da Turkiyedeki acik bufeleri aratmiyordu. Firstly, we checked the hotel in terms of cleanliness and didn't encounter any issues. Another reason we chose this hotel was its great location. The breakfast was also good, similar to the open buffet style commonly found in hotels in Turkey.

"Nice hotel but average service for a 5* hotel. You had to pay extra for your espresso or cappuccino, you had to pay extra for fr"
Arno V, 22 Mai 2025

If you visit a 5* hotel you expect that the service is very well. You don't expect to pay extra for your espresso or cappuccino, for you fried eggs or omelette at the breakfast. If you pay €265 for the room you expect that this would be included. Also a bottle of water on the first day at the room but for the others days....no water!

"Breakfast included is not really included"
Peter v, 20 Mai 2025

When you book a room with breakfast, then go for breakfast and they charge you extra to have a cappuccino or fried eggs, I have to pause and ask what is the motivation. I can get boiled or scrambled eggs, but fried eggs are extra, I can get espresso or coffee but cappuccino is extra. Does that really make a difference on their bottom line. I hope it does because I will never come here or to any sister hotel again. simple quick decision. And yet I could have said some positives, but not with this ridiculous decision to charge for such tiny incidentals .

"Greedy hotel "
stavri672, 03 Janvier 2025

Beautiful hotel but everything is overpriced with in the hotel My son bought an ice cream and then we sit at the cafeteria to have coffees. They told us that is not allowed to eat outside staff in hotel. Very poor approach. In breakfast they charging espresso, omelette as extra. Very poor approach while you paying 300 euros per night.
