Hotel Solun

Top choice in Skopje


Accessed through an alley just off the main square, this is a stylish, beautifully designed place, with modern and elegantly decorated rooms, and an excellent art collection on the walls. A spa and an indoor pool beckon downstairs. Hotel Solun sits in a different stratosphere to most of North Macedonia's faded 'high-end' hotels.

The smallest rooms are a little poky. There's a tranquil covered patio where guests love to lounge with coffee. Solun is popular with business travellers, and there are 15% discounts on weekdays, 30% on weekends.
