the old Churchill Hotel
The old Churchill is a little past its prime and is showing its middle age.
There are newer and nicer hotels in Limassol. However, the Holiday Inn does have some positives. It has a good location. It is on a nice beach area. It has a nice outdoor terrace and the buffet dinner in the evening is quite good.
Also, for CYP 7 ($16) you can pay to use the swimming pool and fitness facilities as well as get a fresh towel and a lounge chair during the day if you are not a guest. The pool has a nice grassy area near the beach. The sand is quite dark, fine, and sticks to you like glue after you come out of the water. It is nice to have a lounge chair on the grass so you can keep yourself and your bags, etc. clean after a dip.
Unique Quality: Rooms can be had by calling the old Churchill direct for about CYP 50.00 ($112.50) including breakfast. However, if you book through the Holiday Inn's central reservation service you may end up paying twice that amount.
Usually, if it is not high season, you will be better negotiating a rate directly with the local management in Limassol. However, do not tell the folks at InterContinental Hotels Group that you heard it from me first.
1 CYP = $2.25
