Overview

Perched on Kos Harbour with direct views of the island’s medieval castle, Kosta Palace City Hotel is a four-star property with waterfront public spaces. The hotel’s public offerings include a panoramic roof-top bar and a harbour-front veranda that place guests beside the daily passage of wooden schooners, while its philosophy emphasises heartfelt hospitality, an integration of tradition and innovation, sustainable operation, a family-like atmosphere among staff and guests, and a commitment to high service standards.

Location

The hotel occupies a prime harbour-front position that allows guests to step easily into the lively town centre and reach multiple archaeological sites and attractive beaches on foot. Its location affords immediate access to Kos’s maritime life and historic features, and the majority of the hotel’s elevated terraces and many guest balconies are oriented to present uninterrupted scenes of the harbour and the imposing medieval castle.

Facilities

On-site facilities centre on elevated outdoor areas and comfortable indoor lounges. The roof-top pool and adjoining smaller splashing pool provide an open-air focal point with extensive views across the harbour and town; neighbouring the pool is a bar serving light refreshments. The lobby bar features an extensive lounge and a veranda overlooking harbour activity, offering a relaxed setting for meeting or leisure. Throughout the property there is an emphasis on family-friendly service and environmentally conscious practices in line with the hotel’s declared sustainability approach.

Room

Guestroom categories accommodate couples, friends or families to provide spacious layouts and furnished private balconies or verandas designed to capture the harbour and castle outlook. The Deluxe Panorama Double and Business Superior Double rooms are set up for two guests and include comfortable sleeping and seating furniture with a large furnished balcony for panoramic viewing. Harbour View Twin rooms offer flexibility with double or twin beds and furnished outdoor spaces. Family Room configurations include a separate bedroom and a living area with sofa beds, offering practical space for families and a private balcony; the Seaview Family Room adds a specific sea-facing balcony. Standard Twin Rooms offer straightforward accommodation for two with private outdoor seating.

Sports & Entertainment

Leisure facilities focus on the roof-top pools which provide pleasant swimming and viewing opportunities over Kos town and the harbour. The hotel’s terraces and bars double as observational platforms for maritime activity, making ship-spotting and relaxed outdoor socialising part of the entertainment offering. Public lounge areas in the lobby provide additional informal spaces for gathering, and the hotel’s service ethos supports family-oriented and friendly interactions between guests and staff.

Dining & Bars

Culinary offerings place strong emphasis on local ingredients and regional recipes, beginning with a full buffet breakfast that highlights the hotel’s “Greek Flag” selection: fresh produce sourced from local farmers, a range of traditional recipes for both sweet and savoury items, and daily in-house cooking and baking. Seasonal fruits, garden vegetables used with extra virgin Koan olive oil, regional cheeses, farm eggs prepared in various Greek styles including omelettes such as Strapatsada, freshly made pies and daily-baked breads make up the principal breakfast elements, while traditional sweets and preserves such as baklava, halva and local honey provide sweeter choices. Beverages are available from the lobby bar, which serves coffees and cocktails and features a veranda with harbour views, and from the roof-top bar, which complements the pool area and overlooks the castle and harbour.
