Hotel Du Lac stands on Plateia Davaki at the heart of Kastoria's lakefront, placing guests within a short walk of the city's principal Byzantine churches, the fur-traders' mansions of the Doltso neighbourhood, and the waterside promenade. The hotel's name reflects its most distinctive asset: direct frontage onto Lake Orestiada, with deluxe lake-view rooms and junior suites offering unobstructed panoramas across the water towards the wooded slopes beyond. The building is a mid-scale urban property built in the latter half of the twentieth century, occupying a prominent corner position on the square. Standard rooms face the town; deluxe rooms face the lake and are worth the supplement for the view. Junior suites offer additional floor space and are suitable for couples on a longer stay or for guests combining leisure with business. The on-site restaurant serves Greek regional cuisine, with breakfasts oriented toward a continental spread. Meeting-room facilities make the hotel a functional choice for small business delegations visiting Kastoria's fur and leather industry. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout. Parking is provided for guests, an important consideration given the limited street parking around the central square. The front desk is experienced with Kastoria tourist routes including the lakeside rowing circuit, the Folklore Museum, and the cave at Drakospilia. The hotel's position on the main square also makes it convenient for Kastoria's limited but pleasant café and restaurant scene.

Tips for visiting
- Request a deluxe lake-view room at booking — standard rooms face the street and the lakeside aspect is the hotel's defining quality.
- The main square (Plateia Davaki) outside the hotel is the social hub of Kastoria; evening café culture runs late and street noise can carry into lower-floor rooms.
- The Doltso neighbourhood's Ottoman mansions are a five-minute walk from the hotel — the Sapountzis and Natzis mansions are the most photogenic.
- Kastoria is famously cold from November through March; the lake frequently mists in morning which creates atmospheric but chilly conditions.
- Use the hotel meeting room if you need a quiet workspace — the public Wi-Fi in the lobby area can be busy during peak check-in hours.
