Zaliki Boutique Hotel

Zaliki Boutique Hotel is a small boutique hotel at Grigoriou Zaliki 6 in Thessaloniki, in the Central Macedonia region of northern Greece. It is on Grigoriou Zaliki Street, just north of Egnatia Street, in the area around the Rotunda and the upper edge of the city centre. Egnatia is the old Roman road that crosses the city from east to west, and many of Thessaloniki's major monuments line its route. The Rotunda, the Arch of Galerius and the Palace of Galerius ruins are within a short walk, as is the Church of Agios Dimitrios, the patron saint's basilica, to the west. Aristotelous Square and the waterfront can be reached on foot in around fifteen to twenty minutes, and the historic Upper Town, Ano Poli, rises to the north. The hotel's position at the top of the central grid places it a little away from the busiest nightlife streets, which gives a calmer setting than the waterfront. Rooms have wifi, and the property is small, with a boutique scale that suggests an informal, personal service style typical of independent hotels in the city. The published information does not list room categories, a restaurant, a pool or a spa, so visitors should confirm specific facilities directly with the hotel. Rates are modest, at around EUR 70 to EUR 130 per night depending on season, which places the hotel in the lower mid-range and makes it appealing for budget-conscious couples, solo travellers and visitors interested in Byzantine and Roman heritage. The surrounding streets contain local bakeries, cafes and tavernas, and the university district is nearby, so the area has a lived-in, local feel. Travellers who want to visit Ano Poli for its views and its remaining walls can climb the hill from the hotel on foot. Phone reservations can be made on +30 2310 226400, and the hotel also has its own website.
