Scene
This hip beach resort, a short drive from Chania’s attractions, draws both families and couples.
This small boutique beach hotel with Cycladic architecture received decor upgrades from Elisa Manolas, the Greek designer responsible for the upscale Orloff Resort on Spetses. The style of this hotel is streamlined, light, and airy, from the glassed-in breakfast area with panoramic sea views, to reception, to the stylish rooms. There are lots of quirky decor touches, including colorful patterned pillow accents, avant-garde furniture (such as the curving green whicker chair in the lobby), and whimsical artwork (for example, the silhouette chicken mural on the lobby wall). The hotel has a reputation for personalized service, and thoughtful extras include free pastries in the lobby and loaner pool toys for the kids.
