Loved by Cretan Renaissance Hotel guests
"The location right on the old town harbor was great and the view from our room magnificent!"
"A 500 year old Venetian building maintained to perfection."
"Rooms are perfectly decorated, with art and style, like in a faerie tale."
Historic Venetian Manor
Cretan Renaissance occupies a Venetian manor house on Kountourioti Coast, designated as a historical monument by the Ephorate of Byzantium Antiquities and UNESCO. The building dates to the Venetian domination of Crete and features architectural elements from that era. Each of the four apartments is named after heroines from 16th and 17th century Cretan literature: Erophéle, Aretoúsa, Panórea, and Dolcétta.
Literary-Inspired Accommodations
Rooms include soundproof walls, air conditioning, flat-screen TVs with cable channels, and kitchenettes with refrigerators and tea/coffee makers. Three rooms feature hot tubs. The Erophéle room offers views of the Old Port of Chania. The Aretoúsa room includes a balcony with full port views. All rooms provide free Wi-Fi, body care products, and daily cleaning service with linen changes three times weekly and towel changes five times weekly.
Arismari Restaurant Cuisine
The hotel team invites guests to taste new culinary experiences at Arismari, a family-run traditional Cretan restaurant. The menu features gourmet dishes prepared with local ingredients, reflecting Cretan culinary traditions.
Central Old Town Location
The hotel is positioned on the coastal front of the Venetian Port of Chania, offering panoramic views of the port, breakwater, and lighthouse. It is steps from the Maritime Museum and Firkas Fortress. The Archaeological Museum, Byzantine Collection, Folklore Museum, and Municipal Art Gallery are within a 1 km radius. The Center of Mediterranean Architecture, Giali Tzamisi, Venetian Neoria, and Municipal Market are minutes away on foot.
Eco-Friendly Luxury Services
Services include laundry and ironing (with applicable charges), beach towels, safety boxes in rooms, and provided hair dryers. The hotel operates with an eco-friendly approach while maintaining luxury accommodations. The staff can arrange local experiences leveraging Cretan cultural and historical resources.
“What stands out is the historical architecture-a preserved Venetian manor house that feels like stepping back in time. The in-house dining, Arismari, is family-run and celebrates authentic Cretan flavors. Its location offers panoramic views and easy access to Chania's cultural sites, which makes it, in my opinion, a truly unique place to experience.”
