Ionian Plaza Hotel & Spa
An indoor spa with hamam and CocoMat beds in the centre
About this hotel
Ionian Plaza runs one of the most complete wellness setups in central Argostoli, an indoor pool alongside a sauna, hot tub, and hamam, plus dedicated beauty and massage treatments available through the front desk. Rooms use CocoMat mattresses and earthy decor for a calmer atmosphere than the brighter, more colourful interiors found elsewhere in town, and most come with a balcony overlooking the city alongside a safety box and hairdryer as standard. The free-access gym center adds a fitness option beyond the spa itself, and while Antisamos Beach's scenic, lush surroundings sit within thirty kilometres for a day trip, the hotel's own centre-of-town position means most days can be spent without a car at all.
- Indoor hamam and spa
- CocoMat mattresses
- Free-access gym
- Central Argostoli location
Our take
Ionian Plaza Hotel & Spa gives central Argostoli a proper wellness offer: an indoor pool, sauna, hot tub and hamam, beauty and massage treatments and a free-access gym, with CocoMat mattresses in the rooms. Kefalonia Airport is seven kilometres away. Beaches such as Antisamos mean a drive, so I would choose it for travellers who want a town base with a spa rather than a beachfront stay.
- ✓Book a hamam session for an afternoon when outdoor sightseeing feels less appealing
- ✓Use the free-access gym center alongside a spa treatment rather than choosing one or the other
- ✓Plan Antisamos Beach as a half-day trip, given the thirty-kilometre distance from the hotel
Why we love it
- A genuine hamam alongside the sauna and hot tub, rare in central Argostoli
- CocoMat mattresses and a calmer, earth-toned room design
- A free-access gym center included for hotel guests
- A central position seven kilometres from Kefalonia Airport
Why guests love itIonian Plaza Hotel & Spa sits in central Argostoli and works for families who want a town base on Kefalonia. The indoor pool lets children swim whatever the weather, and CocoMat mattresses help everyone sleep well. Parents can use the free gym, sauna, hot tub and hamam, or book a massage. Kefalonia Airport is seven kilometres away, which keeps transfers short. I would book it for families who plan day trips around the island and want comfort to come back to.
