Electra Hotels & Resorts Group is pleased to announce the reopening of Electra Palace Thessaloniki. The historic hotel of Thessaloniki, which has been dominating Aristotelous Square since 1972 and is a timeless landmark for the city, will reopen its doors on Friday, July 17th, ready to welcome its guests from all over the world and of course the people of Thessaloniki.
The iconic hotel closed on 23 January 2020 for a radical renovation and within a record time, in an unprecedented and difficult situation, it is delivered renewed, upgraded and fully functional to the city of Thessaloniki. The total renovation of the building was a particularly demanding, technically and architecturally demanding process, for which dozens of technicians and specialized professionals worked intensively, under the architectural supervision of Morphos Papanikolaou and Olivia Siskou, but also thanks to the construction experience of the company “ERGONOMIA”.
The 138 modern rooms and suites, the public areas, the event halls, the restaurants and café on the roofgarden, as well as the lobby, were designed and reconstructed from scratch, with the aim of the final result to fully satisfy even the most demanding visitor.
At the same time, Electra Palace Thessaloniki has fully adopted all the guidelines and regulations foreseen to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic, adhering to the highest standards of hygiene and protection of both visitors and employees.
The Electra Palace Thessaloniki family invites Greek and foreign guests and of course the residents of the city, to get to know the new areas of the hotel, to enjoy the renewed gastronomic experience and the moments of relaxation offered at the Roof Garden overlooking the Thermaikos and of course to experience the unique hospitality and accommodation experience that it has in store for them.
The CEO of Electra Hotels & Resorts Group and President of SETE, Mr. Yiannis Retsos said: “Electra Palace Thessaloniki is an emblematic hotel of Thessaloniki, of high architectural value and interwoven with the extroversion and modern history of the city. Its radical renovation marks the new era in which both the hotel and Thessaloniki itself are entering. An era in which the opening to new markets and the repositioning of its tourism product will be combined with the completion of major projects, such as the upgrading of Macedonia Airport. We believe that the unprecedented crisis we are experiencing, as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, is temporarily changing the data, creating new needs and demands, maintaining the fear and hesitation to travel, but will not reverse the medium-term positive trend for tourism worldwide. We feel proud that in such a short period of time, but also under lockdown and extreme conditions, we have managed to bring back a real gem to the everyday life of Thessaloniki. We invite Greek and foreign visitors, and of course the people of Thessaloniki, to experience the hospitality of the hotel, enjoying their stay and their free time.”
