9 Best Hotels in Rhodes Town, Rhodes and the Dodecanese

This newish addition to the Old Town incorporates stone walls dating back 600 years; rooms come with large art deco--style murals, vintage furniture, clever lighting, and a cunningly concealed bathroom makes them seem larger and, despite their size, luxurious. This place has character in spades. Outside, each room has its own patio area, and downstairs, where breakfast is served in the morning, is perhaps the best wine bar in the city. A collection of 250 Greek wines run the gamut from pittance to pricey, making this a pleasant spot to while away the evening. It's open all year.

A family passion project has turned into arguably the most beautiful small hotel on the island. Its building wraps around the ancient walls of the city; sitting within a former Knights' residence built in the year 1340 by the Red Gate (where the hotel gets its name). Inside the adults-only hotel, stone-walled rooms are decked in sumptuous antiques, rich fabrics, and plush furnishings. Husband and wife team Nikos and Angela have thought of everything: free minibar, a tablet loaded with sights and advice; an open lounge bar; a peaceful walled courtyard terrace. They may even show you their other project: the restoration of a Greek Orthodox chapel opposite the hotel, originally built by the Knights to win over locals. The breakfasts here are the best in Rhodes, which includes course after course of pastries, fruit, yogurt, and homemade jams. In the evening the family's son, Paris, a talented pianist, has also taken to serenading guests with fine jazz standards. It’s worth noting that high season for the typically older clientele here tends to be later (September and October); book far ahead as there are only six suites.

Entering this renovated 15th-century Ottoman mansion in the maze of the Old Town's colorful Turkish quarter is like stepping into another world to live like a pasha. Individually styled guest rooms come with furnishings often dating back hundreds of years; they're painted in deep-hued warm colors, with Oriental rugs and rare eastern antiques (including large beds draped with translucent canopies), while all surround lush gardens. Floors are rich tile and pitch-pine; embroidered cushions beckon from low sofas; and the scent of orange blossom fills the air. One room was actually a former harem, dating back to when this was under the ownership of a prominent Ottoman official. The clientele tends to be older here, and constant: a steady stream of Italian tourists return time and again, so book far in advance.

A restored Ottoman house on the quiet back lanes of the Old Town is one of Rhodes's most distinctive getaways, with parts of it dating back six centuries. Fountains splash in a shady courtyard surrounded by a library, enormous rooms, and suites exquisitely decorated with a mix of antiques, latticework screens, kilims, and stylishly contemporary furnishings (the beds are supremely comfortable). History abounds in the walls of this boutique stay, with one of the larger suites accompanied by its own hammam, while another has been cleverly converted from an old chapel.

A long-established favorite on a quiet Old Town square next to a medieval mosque, this unpretentious family-run lodging offers air-conditioned rooms, an airy roof terrace, and an amiable all-day bar-restaurant.

Located steps away from Rhodes Town Beach, the resort, which at the time of writing is about to undergo major renovations to be revealed for the 2026 season, is a large complex that makes full use of its expansive space, including several each of pools, restaurants, bars, a ballroom, and a beauty salon.

Nestled in a green corner of the New Town, Rhodes's most luxurious hotel is graced with welcoming common spaces, a tranquil landscaped pool area, and a wood-and-stone spa, and stunning suites.

All the atmosphere of Rhodes's medieval Old Town is captured here at this charmingly restored 14th-century house.

Breakfast is served on the roof terrace, which affords a view of a long stretch of the city walls, and a pleasant bar and café at the end of the garden is open all day.
