The 5-star Domus Blanc Boutique Hotel is located in the heart of Chania Town, offering an intimate and stylish retreat for those seeking to explore the vibrant culture and stunning landscapes of Crete. It’s located in the elegant former residence of the French consul, with many of its best features — the neoclassical facade, original parquet flooring, high ceilings, exposed wooden beams, even the kitchen’s old wood-fired oven - carefully preserved.
The history of Domus Blanc runs deep, beginning in 1870 with its construction by French Consul Paul Blanc. He lived in Chania from 1886 to 1901 where he quickly became friends and political allies with his neighbour, Eleftherios Venizelos, who later served as Prime Minister of Greece. Known for his love of fine food, exquisite wines, and the art of living well, Paul Blanc’s home was always a place of warm hospitality, reflecting his refined tastes and welcoming spirit which is relevant today 156 years later.
The hotel's design beautifully blends contemporary aesthetics with elements inspired by traditional Cretan architecture, creating a unique space that is both modern and inviting. Domus Blanc Boutique Hotel prides itself on delivering exceptional service, ensuring that every guest feels welcomed and valued. The staff are known for their warmth and hospitality, readily offering insights and recommendations to help guests make the most of their visit to Chania.
The hotel features 12 rooms and suites, each named after historical figures who once lived in the Blanc Manor. The suites are elegantly decorated with a mix of contemporary and heritage elements, offering a refined and sophisticated atmosphere. Each room is thoughtfully decorated with elegant furnishings, reflecting a dedication to comfort and sophistication. Guests can expect meticulous attention to detail, from the carefully chosen decor to the high-quality amenities provided throughout their stay. Amenities include a gym, spa, outdoor pool, and an all-day bistro.
Domus Blanc provides a personalised and cosy atmosphere and makes it an ideal base for guests wishing to enjoy the lively atmosphere of Chania with its bustling markets and harbourside bars and restaurants, just a 30 minute walk away.
For guests interested in local history and antiquities, we recommend a visit to the new modern Archaeological Museum of Chania, which is just a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Opened in 2022, the Museum houses over 4,100 exhibits from every part of Chania and the island of Gavdos, covering a wide chronological range from the Palaeolithic period to the Roman era.
