The Londa Hotel is a hip enclave of breezy linen and seaside romance within walking distance of dining and nightlife. The small boutique has just 68 rooms and is one of the top luxury hotels on the island. The sleek lounge bar and restaurant are popular with locals as well as business travelers and tourists. The small beach area is disappointing, but the seaside terrace and outdoor pool's daybeds might make up for it. The rooms are stylish and rich in modern amenities, but not all face the sea. This isn't an especially kid-friendly spot; families should consider the GrandResort instead.

Four Seasons Hotel is a five-pearl beach resort property with 296 modern rooms, renovated in 2016 to include chromotherapy showers and many have sea-facing balconies. There are a ton of amenities and activities here, including multiple pools for families and adults, a waterslide, a modern fitness center with an adjacent spa (and another indoor pool), plus restaurants serving everything from Chinese fare to Mediterranean fine-dining. There's also a special adult-only wing, complete with its own pool and pool bar. While this is certainly one of the top places to stay in Limassol, it's not the only luxury option, and its suburban location makes it less than ideal for those needing easy city center access. Travelers with business at the center of town many be better off at the Alasia Hotel, a four-and-a-half-pearl boutique property right in the heart of Limassol.
