About Us
Operating since 1969, the Queen Olga Hotel is a fixture on Thessaloniki’s waterfront, offering prominent views of the Thermaic Gulf. Known for its long “history of hospitality” and experienced staff, the hotel maintains its original 1960s architectural charm while adapting to modern guest needs through renovations (around 2008-2009). While celebrated for its prime location, cleanliness, and value, it balances historical character with contemporary service, making the stunning gulf view a central part of the guest experience.
