Best hotels in Rhodes 2023

An island with something for everyone, Rhodes – or ‘Rodos’ as it’s known to locals – is the largest in Greece’s Dodecanese region. From pretty, colourful villages amid lush meadows to Venetian architecture and medieval ruins in the Old Town, the island has plenty of charm and character to counter the many modern resorts that have sprung up along the coast in the past couple of decades.

The island is no stranger to package tourism and offers many options for those wanting a simple all-inclusive getaway that will cater to all members of the family. Resort hotels are dotted along the island and vary from boujie adults-only hideaways to more economic options for the whole family.

There are even hotels for travellers wanting to venture off the beaten track and have a more “local”, authentic experience, with new, boutique options now being built in crumbling fishing villages. Whatever your vibe, there’s a room and a view on the island for you.

Part of the Cook’s Club hotel group, Cook’s Club City Beach is at the centre of Rhodes Town – perfect for those keen to be at the heart of the action on their holiday. While its location is buzzy, surrounded by restaurants, cafes and Rhodes’s best bakeries and boutiques, the atmosphere at this hotel is laid-back and bohemian, with earthy-toned interiors and plenty of natural materials. Splashes of green from hanging plants offset olive-wood tables and neutral linens.

The hotel is adults-only, with a roof-top pool that overlooks City Beach, a mere stroll across the road. There are 18 rooms, ranging from deluxe and junior suites to superior and premium double rooms with their own furnished terrace or balcony, so you can soak up the sun or watch the sunset from the privacy of your own room.
