The archaeological finds date from the 4th century AD until the end of the Ottoman rule. Remains of the Early Christian era, Roman reconstructions, a small Basilica church of unknown identity, ancient fortifications, graves and a sophisticated grid of pipelines, narrate stories of siege, prosperity, faith and invincible power, from the pirate looting of the Saracens to the demolition of the marine walls and the opening of Thessaloniki to the sea, between 1869 and 1873.

A glass floor on the ground floor of the S Hotel Boutique, allows visitors to admire the archaeological finds, dating from the 4th century AD until the end of the Ottoman rule.

The south old City Water Front  and part of its Walls are now in full display right at the glass bottom floor of the new S HOTEL BOUTIQUE.  Those Walls were century long hit by the waters of Thermaikos Bay and scenery for  many historic battles, victorious and not. Great part of the same Wall extends nowadays underneath the next lying Liberty Square, but only visible here underneath the hotel’s lobby. 

Those Walls are considred to have safeguarded the spirit of Thessaloniki for many centuries against violent attacks from all sides of the horizon. Our carefull construction and lobby glass floor has managed to safeguard nowadays the wall in return. Discover the fascinating story of the Water Front Walls while staying in the S Hotel Boutique…..
