HOTELS

Crete

Serenissima Boutique Hotel ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Serenissima Boutique Hotel is committed to offer all guests a calm and luxurious environment in the heart of the charming Old City of Chania within walking distance to all of the major attractions. Situated in a 16th century Venetian townhouse, this five star hotel is designed in the minimalist style, elegantly combining the picturesque traditional and modern features. The building itself is a monument that has been renovated with love and respect to the history of our heritage. Most of the Chania Old Town was built by the Venetians in a bid to recreate a Venice of the east especially in the 16th and 17th centuries during the town's cultural renaissance. Subsequently the area was altered when the Ottoman Turks invaded and occupied the island for another 250 years or so. Arches from the Venetian period are evident throughout the building inspiring an elegant and romantic atmosphere, while the unique fully restored Ottoman bath (Hamam) represents the main concept of the hotel's philosophy: serenity, luxury and relaxation. Our concept is prominent in each one of our unique suites & rooms equipped with the highest quality mattresses and cement sealed bathrooms, transforming your stay into a truly delightful experience.
