Luxury hotels in Thessaloniki with history: two buildings from the 1920s and a Michelin Key
The building of ON Residence was designed by Jacques Mosse. From 1926 it housed the Olympos Naoussa restaurant, the meeting place of Thessaloniki society until the mid-1990s. After about three decades of closure, the building was restored, extended with new top floors and reopened as a five-star hotel with the revived restaurant.
Awarded: The Michelin Guide has given ON Residence one Michelin Key. This distinction honors the hotel as a whole, not the kitchen.

The Excelsior Thessaloniki stands on the corner of Mitropoleos and Komninon streets: a neoclassical building with a symmetrical, three-sided facade and art deco balconies, designed by the French architects Pleyber and Fernandez. The Tornivoukas family had it extensively restored and reopened it as a boutique hotel in November 2009; today it is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. In Chalkidiki, the same family runs a villa resort near Ouranoupoli.
Our tip: Ano Poli in the late afternoon
Head up to the upper town of Ano Poli and its Byzantine walls in the late afternoon. From there you look across the rooftops to the gulf before going back down to the water for dinner.
