The building’s architecture, the ornate high ceilings with the golden decorations communicate the romantic ambience of another era. The Tourist Hotel, as a family-managed work for years, accordingly reflects the family-like, warm and welcoming attitude of cordiality that pleasantly predisposes our visitors. The high standards of the services provided have lead widely-known organizations such as the Film Festival of Thessaloniki, the French Institute, educational institutions, Consulate authorities but also professionals and individual businessmen to entrust us with the staying of their clients.

Only 100 meters from the prominent Aristotle Square and Ladadika, 600 meters from the White Tower, less than 1 kilometers from the HELLEXPO Trade Fair Center (International Trade Fair) and the University region, the TOURIST proposes the visitor the probability to have urgent access to the most essential sights of the town, without the need to use any means of transportation! Right in the middle of the town, one may feel the pulse of the market place on the most indispensable commercial streets (Mitropoleos Str., Tsimiski Str., Egnatia Str. etc), at well-known-brand multi-stores or the shopping mall in Aristotelous Square, stroll on the stone-paved alleys of Athonos Square with the cosy and friendly taverns, admires the ruins of the Ancient Agora and Gallerius’ Arch, the celebrated “Kamara”, and enjoy a cup of coffee laid-back in one of the sun-bathed cafeterias at the prom on Nikis Avenue,

One may extremely easily get to the hotel using the means of social conveyance, if they find themselves at the Airport, the Railway Station or the Bus Station. Bus No 78 starts its route from the “Macedonia” International Airport, and makes a stop on Tsimiski Str., at “Aristotelous Square” bus stop, just one highway above Mitropoleos Str., where the TOURIST Hotel is situated. Bus No three starts from the Railway Station of Thessaloniki, and makes a stop on the 1st bus stop on Mitropoleos Str., right across the Hotel’s entry. There is the choice between Bus No 12 and No 78 for persons who will be coming from the Bus Station. In any case, both buses also drop passengers off at the 1st bus stop on Mitropoleos Str., right in facade of the Hotel. For those who travel to Thessaloniki for the 1st time or come from abroad, it would be sensible to occupy a seat at the foot of the driver once on the bus itself, so that they would be reminded what bus stop they should be getting off at. Of course, one may also use a cab to get to the Hotel, either from the Airport, the Railway or the Bus Station. All they have to do is mention the Hotel’s address to the cab driver: 21 Mitropoleos Str.! The cab might be optimum for travelers with heavy luggage.

The TOURIST Hotel has been a reference point in the past mostly for writers, but also for different members of the artistic world. We proudly quote the following extract: One hotel, one history… “He used to staying permanently at the ‘Tourist Hotel’, on Mitropoleos Str. I have known that hotel since I was an infant. (…) It took me years to notice that some of those books belonged to K. Romaeos, Senior, who also used to staying at the ‘Tourist’, whilst he was a professor in Thessaloniki”. From the book “Our Own Blood” by George Ioannou, “Kedros” Editions, 1980. Furthermore, the halls of the Hotel have been used in the past for filming aims, but also for photo-shooting instances.

At least ten days before date of arrival otherwise 1 night staying will be charged as cancellation fee. The hotel reserves the right to pre-authorise credit cards prior to arrival.
