Louis Imperial

There’s no issue of false advertising with the Louis Imperial Beach Hotel, which lists the distance to the nearest beach as five metres. You really could fall out of the door and onto the sands at this beautifully situated and high-quality hotel in one of Cyprus’ top resorts.

Paphos really does have everything that makes a holiday to Cyprus such a favourite. The weather, of course, is taken care of. The beach – while not enormous – is sandy, and of very high quality. Local historic sites include a wonderful old town, a castle, and Ancient Greek and Roman sites worthy of international protection. And if you want to party like it’s 1999 (BC) there’s a very lively nightlife scene.

With four-stars, the Louis Imperial makes staying close to home very attractive too. A fine garden and pool complex runs towards the beach, complete with palm fringing, and many of the 239 rooms have fine sea views.

There’s lots to do in and around the hotel. Indoor games, a gym, squash court, tennis, and more will get the pulse racing. An excellent wellness centre with sauna, massage treatments and the like will slow things down again. A children’s playground is just one of the facilities that give the Louis Imperial Beach Hotel such a good reputation as a family hotel. Mediterranean-style rooms – renovated in 2013 - have everything you’d expect to find in a four-star hotel, including en-suite bathrooms, satellite TV, Wi-Fi (free in public areas, for a charge in rooms), and balconies that make the most of those views.

There’s a mini strip of bars, restaurants and clubs on your doorstep (and good quality dining and drinking in the hotel itself), with the historic harbour and the resort’s main centre around 3km away. The little extras are often what make a holiday really special, and with great value through loveholidays, you’ll find much more than you expected at the Louis Imperial Beach Hotel in Paphos.
