Over time we have visited many hotels across the Mediterranean but there are few that make an immediate impact. The S Paul is one of these hotels. It is chic and sophisticated yet warm and homely at the same time. Needless to say it is family owned and managed.

Sir Paul George Pavlides was knighted by the Queen in March 1955 for his work and social contribution to the island of Cyprus. Sir Paul was Natali Martini’s great grandfather and in 2015 it was decided to renovate the family home which had stood empty for 35 years. Originally built in the 1820s, the property was originally ground floor only and was used as stables and employee accommodation. A second floor was added and in 1918 the building became Limassol's first town hall. It subsequently served as a bank and a gentlemen’s club, where the high society of Limassol would meet and discuss political issues.

The restoration, 4 years in the making, is exquisite and with utmost respect to the history of the building. The main staircase to the first floor was restored as were the stone arches surrounding the large atrium in the centre of the building. Wood and stone have been skilfully used as the main elements of the restoration, with parquet floors throughout.

The most interesting part of Limassol is the old centre and the castle, so often ignored in favour of the seafront. The S Paul is located at the heart of Limassol in a characteristic and lively area within a short walk of many places of interest and some excellent restaurants. This is the place to stay in order to discover the city. It is only a five minute walk from the old port and trendy Limassol marina and 80 metres from the seafront. Limassol castle is approximately 500 metres away and Saripolou Square 2 minutes away on foot, well known for its cozy bars, restaurants and shops and the town’s old market.
