The Serenissima is located within the picturesque alleys of the old Venetian town of Chania and within a few minutes walk of the old port, several beautiful shops, bars and restaurants. The maritime and folklore museums are a short walk distance away. Without doubt, the old town is one of the most beautiful in Greece, blending Venetian, Moorish and Byzantine architecture.
The Venetians occupied Chania from the 13th to the 17th century and the old town was largely built by them, with some light touches by the Ottomans who ruled for 250 years after the Venetians. The building that houses the Serenissima is a monument in itself and has been lovingly restored with love and respect to the history of Greek heritage. Arches from the Venetian period are prevalent throughout the building, contributing to the elegant and romantic atmosphere. The unique, fully restored (but not working) Ottoman Hammam (bath) is fully representative of the hotel’s philosophy; serenity, luxury and relaxation.
This is a beautiful hotel, a fitting tribute to such an atmospheric town and an ideal luxury base.
