Su Hotel
Rooftop hotel on Ohrid Lake, ten minutes on foot from the old town
Check in at Su Hotel and the lake is already at the window. The hotel stands directly on the shore of Ohrid Lake, ten minutes on foot from the old town and the square. Rooms are contemporary in design, air-conditioned, and stocked with a minibar, tea and coffee facilities, and a television, and the Smart Suite adds a separate living area and a balcony over the water. It is a small, family-run hotel. The Su Rooftop Restaurant occupies the top floor, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the old town's landmarks and the lake below, and a menu that runs from pasta and burgers to grilled salmon and river trout, paired with Macedonian wine. Downstairs, Liquid Boutique Bar & Kitchen sits at the water's edge, serving coffee roasted in-house and cocktails through the summer months. The hotel arranges boat tours, cycling, hiking, paragliding, and kayaking, and can organise a shuttle from Ohrid Airport or hold a car in its own parking. A conference hall covers business meetings. Ohrid itself, known locally as the Balkan pearl, was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its lake in 1980 and its old town in 1979, its medieval churches and old stone streets a short walk from the front door.
