Hilton Chania Old Town Resort and Spa

Set right at the edge of Chania’s Old Town, this spa resort gives you a seriously good base for seeing one of Crete’s prettiest corners. The historic lanes, Venetian harbour and city centre are all just a short stroll away, so it’s wonderfully easy to drift between waterside walks, boutique browsing and long, lazy lunches with a harbour view. Nea Chora Beach is nearby too, which means beach time can sneak onto the agenda without much effort at all.

Back at the hotel, the facilities bring the polish. There’s both an indoor and an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre and a spa for when sightseeing legs need a little kindness. The rooftop terrace adds extra wow factor, serving up the kind of views that make sunset drinks feel like a very strong life choice. Free Wi-Fi, concierge service and complimentary valet parking help keep everything running smoothly too.
