Skopje Marriott Hotel Review | North Macedonia 🇲🇰
📍 Location: The prime spot in town—right beside Macedonia Square, with all major sights (Alexander the Great statue, Stone Bridge, Old Bazaar) within a 20-minute stroll. Perfect for first-time visitors who want to dive straight into Skopje’s history. 🛏️ Room: Booked a standard room but scored an unexpected upgrade to an Executive Suite (hello, Bonvoy elite status perks!). Spacious, modern, and—most importantly—soundproofed against the lively square below. 🍾 Perks: ✔ Executive Lounge access (when open—more on that later) ✔ Full breakfast buffet with local pastries + made-to-order omelets ✔ Welcome gift of Macedonian wine & baklava (a sweet touch!) ✨ The Highlights ✅ "We Owe You" Done Right The lounge was closed at check-in (9:30 PM), but before I could even ask, the front desk proactively credited 1,000 Bonvoy points to my account. No begging, no haggling—just Marriott’s signature "we’ve got you" service. ✅ Marriott Reliability From lightning-fast check-in to staff who remember your coffee order by day two, this property nails the predictable-but-personalized balance. (Even for low-maintenance travelers like me who just want a quiet workspace and strong WiFi.) ✅ Views That Wow Waking up to Alexander the Great’s statue framed in my window? Priceless. Nighttime vistas of the illuminated square (with its controversial neo-baroque buildings) felt like a live-action history lesson. 🍽️ Dining Notes: Breakfast: 8/10 — Solid spread with local cheeses and ajvar, though the espresso could be stronger. Lounge: Small but sufficient evening spread (think: mini-burek and decent Macedonian reds). #Skopje #NorthMacedonia #Marriott #LuxuryTravel #SoloTrip #HotelHacks #BonvoyLife #CityBreak #TravelSmart
