Location:
The Capsis Bristol, a Luxurious Boutique Hotel,
housed in one of Thessaloniki's most historical Buildings, in Ladadika area. It
is located at the corner of Katouni and Oplopoiou Street, in the Ladadika
Quarter. In the same Building, during the years of Ottoman occupation the old
post office of Salonica was located and it is a miracle that it was rescued from
the conflagration of 1917 that reduced an important part of the city to ashes.
The history of the "Bristol" starts when travelers
were spending the night at "inns" shared the same space with their
animals. In Bristol in Great Britain, the concept of modern Hotels was born
when, for the first time, an inn separated customers from their horses and
created Rooms for customers and special spaces for horses. Therefore, the word
Bristol is synonymous with the word inn. Tradition says that since then every
town can host only one "Bristol".
The founders of the Capsis Hotels chain were Thanos and Marika Capsi, two
people that left their own personal mark on the history of Greek hospitality. A
generation after, all members of Capsis Hotel family co-ordinate every move they
make so as to make sure that respect to tradition and values of their first
"teachers" are preserved.
