“This modern hotel combines contemporary design with Art Deco elegance. Located in the heart of Chania, the best suites offer private balconies and marble bathrooms. Expect high-quality service; enjoy a coffee on the quiet interior patio or relax with a drink at the cosy bar. A chic city bolt-hole.”

Hotel review

Chania, Crete's second largest city, is a gem for travellers looking to combine a foray into culture and history with a beach holiday. Harbouring a beautiful, 14th-century Venetian quarter, an Egyptian lighthouse and historic Ottoman architecture, it is a melting pot of influences. Occupying an early 20th-century building, Avra City Hotel continues this trend, blending the building's Art Deco heritage with modern, hand-selected design pieces. The hotel's luxurious, marble-tiled lobby leads up to a range of spacious suites; choose a room with a balcony to enjoy great views over the neighbouring municipal gardens. There is a comprehensive Mediterranean buffet breakfast on offer in the dining room, which is a bright and airy space with unfussy décor. The cosy hotel bar is a great place to enjoy a drink before heading out for an evening meal; equally pared back in design, it is a relaxing space and family-friendly. The attention to detail and excellent service has this hotel punching well above its three stars.
