The Best Hotels to Book in Corinth for Every Traveller
A coastal city where the Peloponnese peninsula meets the Greek mainland, Corinth is a little slice of ancient history. Its control of two strategic ports once made it one of the most powerful city-states in Greece back when Romans ruled these shores, and its ruins are dominated by the imposing Temple of Apollo and the fortified hill of Acrocorinth. Delve into the past at the Archaeological Museum of Ancient Corinth, head into the modern city centre or venture along the Gulf of Corinth to neighbouring towns like Loutraki. Only an hour from Athens, Corinth is an atmospheric spot to take a break on your journey to the Peloponnese or the Greek islands. Read on for the best places to stay in and around Corinth, all bookable with Culture Trip.
Elisa Seaside Luxury Suite, for exploring Loutraki on foot

Pack yourself a comfortable pair of sandals and prepare for funky foot tan lines during your stay at this one-bedroom apartment in Loutraki. With the beach just steps away, you’ll find yourself strolling between the sea and your outdoor hot tub throughout the day. If you aren’t interested in putting your skills to the test in the kitchen, you’ll find plenty of Greek restaurants within a 15-minute walk. With the fun of Casino Loutraki en route, you may even be tempted to be late for your reservation.
Arion Hotel, for staying low-key in Loutraki

Laid-back leisure is the name of the game at the Arion Hotel.

Hotel Mantas Seaside, for putting your holiday on cruise control in Loutraki
Boutique Hotel
With its free buffet, mini hot tubs in the bathrooms and a rooftop garden with panoramic views, Hotel Mantas Seaside feels more like a luxurious cruise ship than a hotel in Corinth. After a few local brews at the lobby bar, you may be out to sea mentally, but you won’t ever be far from Corinth city centre, a 15-minute taxi ride away. Housed in a glass-walled room, even the indoor pool gets some sunshine.
Diolkos Studios, for simple sea views in Loutraki
Hotel
We’re pretty sure the only reason these seafront suites have soundproof windows is so no one can hear you scream in delight when you discover the sea view from your bed. Soak in more Corinthian Gulf vistas from your private terrace or borrow a Coco-mat wooden bicycle from the lobby and follow the music to the buzzing Cocoon beach bar nearby. Located in Loutraki, the studios are well placed for exploring the sprawling Club Hotel Casino Loutraki and Loutraki Thermal Spa.
Hotel Pappas, for parents who need a break in Loutraki
Hotel
Hotel Pappas feels like the ultimate Greek oasis after a long travel day – even with your kids in tow. Between the shores of the Corinthian Gulf and your superior room with Gerania Mountain views, you’ll find a waterfront playground and pool. Recharge with a strong drink and calamari at Apolafsi Tavern, before grabbing a beach ball from the lobby and a seat at the hotel’s more casual beach bar.
ENALIO Suites, for a peaceful escape in Lechaio
Suite Hotel, Serviced Apartment, Apartment
A coastal village slightly west of Corinth city, Lechaio has a shingle beach and pretty, low-rise architecture. Enalio Suites sits right on the water, with a lap pool and comfy loungers in a tranquil garden. Inside, dove-grey sofas and chic, exposed-stone walls add to the relaxing vibe. An al fresco hot tub and a cushioned sun deck add a touch of luxury, and meditative sea-view balconies make this a soothing post-sightseeing stopover.
Hotel King Saron, for poolside relaxation in Isthmia
Resort, Hotel
This large-scale resort in beachy Isthmia – at the other end of the Corinth Canal on the Saronic Gulf, 15 minutes from Corinth – has its own tennis courts, kids’ club, nightclub and parasol-shaded beach loungers served by a handy cocktail bar. A vast poseur’s pool dominates manicured waterfront gardens, and rooms come in calming shades of pale grey and unvarnished pine. The Saronic View Restaurant echoes the silvery leaves of the olive trees that decorate it, serving up prettily presented seafood and salads.
Pefkaki Boutique Hotel, for boutique style in Loutraki
Boutique Hotel, Hotel
This stylish boutique hotel is set around a smart wooden deck, behind which pristine, minimalist sea-view rooms – plus a couple of stand-alone bungalows – cocoon a well-dressed set of guests amid polished-concrete floors, marbled bathrooms and balconies. The well-regarded Perla restaurant serves up freshly baked rolls and quinoa salads at sunbaked al fresco tables, and a stunning infinity pool looks out over the sparkling Gulf of Corinth.
Club Hotel Loutraki, for the on-site casino
Casino Hotel, Spa Hotel, Hotel
Given that there’s a sizeable casino on site, guests should be prepared for the Vegas-esque palms, sculpted columns and echoing marble lobby that greet them at this seaside behemoth. Faded grandeur defines the room decor, but the facilities are generous and include a cavernous spa with indoor pools, a spacious gym, buffet restaurant and a selection of outdoor pools. It’s surprisingly family-friendly, too, with kids’ club activities and a lazy river on the grounds.
Kalamaki Beach Resort, for the show-stopping pool terrace
Resort, Hotel
Located in relaxed, seafront Isthmia, Kalamaki boasts a show-stopping pool terrace: all sculptural white loungers and prim parasols in perfectly spaced rows, set around a blinding turquoise swimming pool with a decorative mini-temple. Just metres away are the clear waters of the Saronic Gulf, accessed via a grainy shingle beach. Inside, you’ll find a calm, light-flooded lobby and simple red, white and gold rooms. Should you want to get hitched, there’s also a petite whitewashed Greek chapel on the grounds.
