Thessaloniki Accommodation | Imperial Plus Urban Smart Hotel
Finding the Right Accommodation in Thessaloniki: Why Imperial Plus Works
The search for accommodation in Thessaloniki is a decision with a clear core variable: location. The city’s historic centre is walkable and compact, and accommodation inside that zone changes the character of a stay completely. Not just in terms of convenience, though that is real and measurable, but in terms of how immediately and naturally the city becomes part of your time there.
Imperial Plus | Urban Smart Hotel is accommodation in the right part of Thessaloniki. On Egnatia Street, the historic east-west spine of the city, within a short walk of every significant landmark and neighbourhood. Designed as a smart urban hotel: rooms that are genuinely well-made, connectivity that works, service that runs without friction, and the Imperial Rooftop above it all as an amenity that most central accommodation in Thessaloniki simply does not have.
This article covers the full accommodation offer at Imperial Plus: every room category, what each provides, the hotel’s amenities, the location in practical terms, and how to secure the best rate through direct booking.
The Accommodation at Imperial Plus: Room by Room
The room and suite collection at Imperial Plus is built around a clear logic: every category provides reliable comfort, and the distinctions between categories are about city views, balcony access, and room scale rather than about a basic-versus-premium divide in quality.
All rooms at Imperial Plus include climate control, high-speed Wi-Fi, blackout curtains, and properly sized beds. These are the non-negotiables. The differences between categories are the additions on top of that baseline.
Executive King Bed with City View and Balcony
The Executive King Bed with City View and Balcony is the most requested category at Imperial Plus, and it is straightforward to understand why. A king-size bed, a private balcony with unobstructed city views over central Thessaloniki, and a room that is sized for two guests to occupy comfortably for two or three nights without feeling cramped.
The balcony is the feature that earns this room its place as the defining accommodation at Imperial Plus. From it, the layered roofscape of central Thessaloniki is immediately visible: neoclassical facades, Byzantine church domes, and the flat blue of the Thermaic Gulf to the south on clear days. In the morning, the balcony is where coffee happens before the day begins. In the evening, it is where the city is watched from above before heading out again.
For couples on a city break, for business travellers who want a room that feels considered rather than generic, and for anyone who books accommodation in Thessaloniki and wants the city to be present even from the room, this is the right category.
Executive Junior Suite with City View and Balcony
The Executive Junior Suite with City View and Balcony is what the accommodation becomes when a stay extends beyond the functional and into something more deliberate. A separate seating area alongside the sleeping space, a larger balcony, and city views that reward time spent at the window rather than treating the room as a place to pass through.
For a three-night stay, a special occasion, or a guest who will be working from the room and needs the space to function properly across different uses within the same environment, the Junior Suite is the step up that makes a meaningful difference. The additional floor space changes the quality of the stay in small but consistent ways: there is a place to sit that is not the bed, a surface to work from without using the pillow as a desk, and a balcony large enough for two people to share comfortably rather than taking turns.
For travellers looking at accommodation in Thessaloniki for a notable trip, a birthday, an anniversary, or the first visit to a city they have wanted to see, the Executive Junior Suite at Imperial Plus turns the accommodation itself into part of the occasion.
Deluxe King Bed with City View
The Deluxe King Bed with City View is the accommodation category that removes the balcony premium while keeping everything else: city views through well-proportioned windows, a king-size bed, climate control, blackout curtains, and reliable Wi-Fi.
For solo travellers, for guests whose priority is location and quality over outdoor space, and for anyone who wants the smart hotel experience at the most efficient price point in the Imperial Plus range, the Deluxe King Bed with City View is the clear choice. The room looks out over central Thessaloniki. The hotel’s other amenities, particularly the Imperial Rooftop, provide the elevated outdoor perspective without requiring the balcony to be attached to the room itself.
What the Accommodation Includes
The Imperial Rooftop
The Imperial Rooftop is included in the accommodation for every guest staying at Imperial Plus. This is not a paid upgrade or a ticketed venue. It is a guest amenity, and it is the amenity that most clearly sets Imperial Plus apart from comparable accommodation in central Thessaloniki.
The rooftop is a skybar positioned above Egnatia Street, with panoramic views over the city and the Thermaic Gulf. A curated drinks menu with northern Greek wines, cocktails, and non-alcoholic options. Seating designed for the view rather than for turnover. The kind of space where a single drink becomes two not because of sales pressure but because the view makes leaving feel premature.
For guests staying at Imperial Plus, the pattern that emerges naturally is: breakfast at the hotel to start the day, the city on foot for most of it, and the Imperial Rooftop to close the evening. The rooftop is also accessible to visitors who are not staying at the hotel, subject to availability. For specific access arrangements, contact the team via the Imperial Plus contact page.
Breakfast
The Imperial Plus breakfast buffet is the accommodation’s daily starting point: a wide selection of hot and cold options, Greek dairy and yoghurt, fresh fruit, eggs, pastries, and savoury choices, served in a format that gets guests out into the city in under 30 minutes.
The buffet format is a deliberate choice for a smart hotel whose primary proposition is that the city is immediately outside the door. A breakfast that runs efficiently means the morning is not spent in the dining room when it could be spent at the Modiano Market, 6 minutes on foot. For guests who include breakfast in their accommodation booking, the current direct booking offers provide the best available bundled rate.
Connectivity and Working Facilities
Every room at Imperial Plus includes high-speed Wi-Fi as a standard component of the accommodation. For business travellers who are in Thessaloniki for meetings or work and need the room to function as a base for email, calls, and document work in the evenings, the connectivity is reliable rather than aspirational.
Desk space is available in every room category. For guests who need a proper working surface rather than the end of the bed, the room provides it. The combination of reliable Wi-Fi, desk space, and the option of the Imperial Rooftop for informal meetings or decompression makes Imperial Plus accommodation well-suited to business stays of any length.
Location: What the Egnatia Address Means for Your Stay
The accommodation at Imperial Plus sits on Egnatia Street, and that address has specific practical implications for every movement you make during the stay. Full location details are available here.
The distances on foot from Imperial Plus:
- Aristotelous Square: 4 minutes
- Modiano and Kapani Markets: 6 minutes
- Seafront promenade: 7 minutes
- ta Ladadika: 8 minutes
- Rotunda and Kamara: 9 minutes
- Church of Agios Dimitrios: 10 minutes
- White Tower: 12 minutes
- Thessaloniki Port: 13 minutes
- Ano Poli (Upper Town): 22 minutes on foot or 8 by taxi
The implication of these distances is that accommodation at Imperial Plus removes the daily logistics question entirely. There is no transport decision to make in the morning. The city is in every direction from the front door.
For a guest staying two or three nights, this location means the walking distances above are cumulative assets. By the end of the stay, the Aristotelous axis, the waterfront, ta Ladadika, and the Byzantine monuments have all become familiar rather than navigational challenges. The accommodation has oriented you to the city from the first hour.
Who the Accommodation at Imperial Plus Suits
Business Travellers
Business travellers form a core constituency of Imperial Plus accommodation. The smart hotel design, the Egnatia Street address (central to the city’s commercial district), reliable Wi-Fi, desk space in every room, an efficient breakfast, and the Imperial Rooftop as an informal venue for client drinks or post-meeting decompression make the hotel a complete business accommodation package without the premium of a large chain property.
For professionals attending the Thessaloniki International Fair (HelExpo), events at the conference rooms at Imperial Palace, or conducting meetings in the commercial centre, the Imperial Plus accommodation places them 4 minutes from Aristotelous Square and a short taxi ride from any other point in the city.
Couples on a City Break
For a couple choosing accommodation in Thessaloniki for a weekend or a short break, Imperial Plus delivers the combination that makes a city break work: a central address, a room with a private balcony and city views, rooftop access for the evening, and a breakfast that does not waste the morning. The Executive King Bed with City View and Balcony is the accommodation category that most naturally serves this guest profile.
Solo Travellers
Solo travellers looking for accommodation in Thessaloniki benefit from Imperial Plus in particular because the hotel’s smart design does not waste space that a solo traveller does not need, while delivering everything that a well-made city hotel should. The location on Egnatia means immediate access to the city in every direction. The Imperial Rooftop gives a solo traveller somewhere to go at the end of the day that is social without being pressured.
First-Time Visitors to Thessaloniki
For a first-time visitor choosing accommodation in Thessaloniki without prior knowledge of the city’s geography, the Egnatia Street address at Imperial Plus functions as an immediate orientation tool. Within two hours of arrival, a guest who has walked from the hotel to Aristotelous Square, down to the seafront, and along to the White Tower has understood the basic structure of central Thessaloniki. The accommodation has positioned them correctly from the start.
Imperial Plus and Imperial Palace: Choosing the Right Accommodation
Imperial Palace | Classical Hotel is the sister property to Imperial Plus. The two hotels share the same central location and standards. The accommodation differs in character and scale.
Imperial Plus is the smart urban accommodation: compact, efficient rooms with city views and balconies, the Imperial Rooftop, and a breakfast that fits the pace of a guest who wants to be out early. Suited to one to three-night stays, business travellers, couples on city breaks, and solo travellers.
Imperial Palace is the classical spacious accommodation: generous rooms and suites, a full sit-down breakfast at an unhurried pace, and an atmosphere suited to families, longer stays, and guests who want the hotel to feel like a destination. The rooms and suites at Imperial Palace and the Imperial Palace breakfast serve a different guest profile from Imperial Plus.
If the accommodation search is about the smartest, most connected central Thessaloniki base with rooftop access and city views: Imperial Plus.
If the accommodation search is about space, an unhurried classical atmosphere, and a sit-down breakfast: Imperial Palace.
Both are in the centre. Both can be booked direct for the best available rate via the current offers page.
