The Vibe: A dichotomy of traditional and contemporary, where Cyprus’ past and present sit comfortably on the same page.

The Area: Located in the historic centre of Limassol, within a 10-minute walk of the seaside promenade and the marina.

The DNA: Cut from two neoclassical houses, S Paul City Hotel‘s 22 minimal guest rooms marked by bespoke furniture alongside unfinished stone, glass and bronze accents for a mood that is history revisited and then some. It’s all pulled together by a white-washed palette of earthy tones alongside a gold decorative motif inspired by the buildings’ original windows, and a continuous theme of arches, from the original limestone curvatures that adorn the patio to newer incarnations that disguise light sources and distribute a sense of majesty throughout. Conversely public areas, which orbit both a grand 19th century staircase and a verdant courtyard, are far more austere, with black and green marble, and polished brass distributed throughout with a linear geometry.

Suite-Me-Up: Rooms vary in size and lay-out, and some superior rooms offer sea views.
