Hearty American buffet breakfast served each morning (for a fee)

Room decor isn't as luxe as what some may expect at a high-end hotel
An upscale hotel overlooking the Thermaikos gulf, Daios Luxury Living has 49 air-conditioned
rooms with minimalist design and ample space. Many rooms have sea views, and
the interior design of the property features large curved glass
ceilings and trendy open-plan spaces. Freebies include minibar treats and chocolates, and the location is conveniently near the White Tower and Rotunda. However, there isn’t a swimming pool or spa, so it may be worth comparing rates to the Excelsior

Scene
Glass staircases, glass balconies, and a feeling of open space characterize this hotel.
A modern property with numerous glass accents, the Daios Hotel highlights its location with balconies overlooking the water. Even they are glass-fronted, bringing the outside in, and allowing plenty of natural light to
flood through. The lobby has stainless-steel structural architecture, wooden
floors, gray velvet sofas, and modern, glass-fronted fireplaces. The bar
is chic with blue neon lights and a blue glass back-bar that lights up. This hotel largely attracts business travelers and older couples who appreciate the quiet, refined atmosphere and location -- and don't require extras like a gym, pool, or spa.
Location
On a busy seaside road along the harbor promenade
This hotel is within walking distance of numerous landmarks, shops, and restaurants. It is also conveniently located near the White Tower and Rotunda.
Rooms
Simple, attractive rooms with marble bathrooms
The
beds and pillows in the rooms are super high-quality with textured linens. Overall, they're not particularly spacious -- nor especially luxe in decor for a four-pearl property -- but they do have large flat-screen TVs and marble bathrooms with excellent water pressue. Many rooms have panoramic views of
Thermaikos gulf, the famed White Tower, and the harbour. Depending on which room
you pick, there are modern glass-fronted feature fireplaces and roomy seating
areas. Apples are a nice perk, as well as free chocolate truffles
in the afternoon.
Features
Tasty breakfast in the mornings, but no gym
Breakfast, with custom omelets and various pastries, is served daily. Twice-daily
maid service, room service, and numerous other optional services (for a fee) -- such as a personal chef, laundry service, in-room face
and body treatments, and even helicopter rental -- make this hotel an upscale option. There are two business rooms with room for up to 120 people, which are decked out with modern art and have plenty of natural light. However, there's no on-site gym or pool.
