The "Menelaion" hotel, named after the king of Sparta Menelaus, can be found at 91 K. Palaeologou Avenue in Sparta. This neo-classical building on Sparta's central palm-lined street was inaugurated in 1935 and offers easy access to all tourist attractions. Its location, architecture, and size played a significant role in Sparta's history, particularly during World War II when it was used by Italian and German troops and later as the headquarters of the Resistance and Greek army. Today, it is owned by the Stathopoulos family, who have welcomed many notable guests, including politicians, artists, and athletes.
The "Menelaion" hotel was renovated in 2010 to provide modern comfort and high-standard accommodation. The hotel management prides itself on offering its guests excellent service and authentic modern Greek cuisine, with a preference for Mediterranean and local dishes. The restaurant extends to the swimming pool area during the summer, allowing guests to dine in a beautiful outdoor setting.
