The hype
Travelers universally praise the modern design, exceptional staff, and cleanliness, often calling it the best renovation in the village.
Petit Palais Platres Boutique Hotel
$150-250 / notte
Prenota se You want a chic, renovated mountain basecamp in the heart of Troodos without the dusty 'grandma's house' vibe of older lodges.
Perché piace così tanto
- Modern, boutique interiors that feel fresh (renovated 2020)
- Killer breakfast spread with custom omelettes and local halloumi
- Prime location walkable to waterfalls and Sparti Adventure Park
In sintesi: A polished jewel in a rustic village that nails the aesthetics but lacks a pool and soundproofing.
Recensito da @theboutiqueadventurer: I escaped the coastal heat for a weekend in Platres and fell in love with this spot. The mountain views from my balcony were so peaceful, but the real highlight was the dinner—that mille-feuille was to die for. Perfect for a quiet recharge.

Suggerimenti degli Insider
- ✨
Ask for a 'packed lunch' if you're heading out for a long hike early; the kitchen can sometimes accommodate.
- ✨
The 'Budget Small Room' is genuinely tiny—upgrade to a Standard or Corner room if you have more than one suitcase.
- ✨
Visit the hotel's 'Savalas Bar' for a nightcap; it's surprisingly well-stocked with whiskies.
5 cose da sapere prima di partire
💡The 'Wellness' area is currently compromised with the steam bath closed indefinitely.
💡You have to double-park to unload luggage, which can be stressful on the narrow mountain road.
💡The 'Mountain View' can sometimes be obscured by trees on lower floors—go high.
💡The bathroom layout in smaller rooms is tight; the shower might feel claustrophobic for larger guests.
💡It's a favorite spot for local Cypriot weekenders, so weekends are significantly louder than weekdays.
