Upon arriving at the upscale Theoxenia Palace Hotel, travelers are greeted with the sight of a white mansion-like property with marble interiors and antique wooden furniture. While the classic style doesn’t appeal to all, it certainly creates an elegant atmosphere that attracts couples. Six meeting rooms and a business center bring in the business travelers. A seasonal outdoor pool and free breakfast buffet are enticing for everyone. The spa costs a fee to access. The 71 rooms are similarly sophisticated in terms of decor and amenities like smart TVs and minibars, however, with a lack of coffee and tea-making facilities and thin walls, it’s not as upscale an experience as it could be. Travelers could also consider the nearby Semiramis Hotel, a chic, youthful property with a pool that turns into a club-like space at night.

The 51-room suburban Semiramis Hotel -- part of the YES chain -- is ultra-modern and decorated in lollipop colors. The design is extreme pop, with curves amid hot pink, lime-green, gold, aqua, and orange colors, with some industrial chic thrown in. The effect is young and playful, but the mix of colors, textures, and materials might not be for everyone. There's an outdoor pool (rooms include Poolside Bungalows), an all-day restaurant that morphs into a club-like lounge with a DJ at night, a 24- hour fitness center, business center, rotating art exhibitions, and free Wi-Fi throughout. Guest rooms mix colored concrete, neon signs, and rubber floors -- sometimes to the delight and sometimes to the chagrin of guests. Standard Rooms and even Superior Rooms, while efficiently compact, could do with more space.
