The Chania Hotel Crete, Vignette Collection by IHG

In the heart of Chania’s lively 1866 square, a few minutes’ walk from the Central Market and Old Venetian Harbor. Nea Chora Beach and Koum Kapi are a short drive away, making this luxury 5-star city-center hotel a smart pick for couples, groups and family-friendly escapes.

A fully renovated 1950s landmark with a fresh, design-forward vibe and local photos that nod to Cretan history. The hotel has 39 air-conditioned rooms with minibars, flat-screen TVs, safes, desks and soundproof windows; many rooms include balconies and port or city views. Note: some economy rooms have only an interior window. Head up to the fifth-floor roof garden for coastal-and-mountain vistas and a glass of wine.

Standout perks include a pool, sauna (extra charge), fitness center and a rooftop garden bar. Expect concierge services, a shared lounge and a terrace where city and port life meet. Free Wi‑Fi keeps you connected while on-site parking is available for a charge.

Business center with fax/photocopy services, a 24-hour front desk and multilingual staff. Complimentary Wi‑Fi/high-speed internet throughout the property.

An on-site restaurant serves Greek cuisine with à la carte and continental breakfast options. Two bars/lounges plus the roof garden offer drinks and small bites. Vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free requests can be accommodated.
