Canyon Matka Hotel

North Macedonia


The premium lakefront setting by the canyon walls makes this hotel a fine place for a night's rest, but it's more rough around the edges than might be expected and feels like an adjunct to the successful restaurant below. The 2nd-floor rooms have charming wooden beams but are slightly smaller than those on the 1st floor.

The real benefit of staying here is that you can crawl from a lakefront dinner to bed in a matter of minutes, then wake up to sunlight bouncing off the canyon walls and have the popular canyonside walkway completely to yourself before breakfast. The restaurant is so good that Skopje residents come all the way out here just for dinner.
