Petit Palais Hotel
Ten metres from the sea with a balcony on every room
About this hotel
Every room here gets a large balcony over the Corinthian Bay, and at roughly ten metres from the water that balcony is effectively the main room for most of a stay. The building is modest and the star rating is honest, but the orientation is the asset: the bay sits directly in front, the Peloponnese shore closes the view opposite, and the light moves across the water through the afternoon before dropping down the gulf to the west. Rooms are spacious and en suite with air conditioning, a fridge and a TV, and the snack bar handles coffee and drinks without leaving the terrace. The hotel stays open year-round, and Epidaurus and Mycenae are within reach for day trips inland.
- Large balconies with sea views
- Ten metres from the sea
- Snack bar and restaurant
- Air-conditioned en suite rooms
Our take
I would choose Petit Palais for the sea-facing balcony: a large one on every room, ten metres from the water, with a view over the Corinthian Bay. A 9.4 score across 484 reviews is very high for a two-star. The snack bar and restaurant on site are practical, and the hotel opens all year. Guests who want a pool, a spa or a full resort should look at other hotels in Loutraki.
- ✓Take breakfast on the balcony rather than downstairs, because the bay view is the reason to be here.
- ✓Book well ahead for summer, as 484 reviews mean this address is no longer a local secret.
- ✓Drive to Epidaurus or Mycenae for a day and come back for the light on the water at six.
Why we love it
- A large sea-facing balcony on every single room
- Ten metres from the water at the Corinthian Bay
- Open year round, unlike much of the seafront
- A snack bar for coffee without leaving the terrace
