“Azade–meaning ‘free and independent’ in Arabic, combines a refined blend of Ottoman heritage and modern luxury, making it an intimate escape in the heart of Chania’s atmospheric Old Town. With peaceful terraces, a wonderful hearty and homemade breakfast, and a shady courtyard, it's a stylish retreat”

Hotel review

Nestled within Chania’s atmospheric Old Town, Azade Hotel is a meticulously restored 17th-century Venetian-Ottoman mansion that effortlessly blends historic charm with contemporary sophistication. The hotel’s design pays homage to its rich past–expect original stone archways, intricate wooden details and handpicked antiques, complementing its modern amenities.

Each of its nine rooms and suites is individually styled, boasting high ceilings, bespoke furnishings and earthy tones, echoing Chania’s–and indeed Crete’s–natural beauty. Some rooms have private balconies or terraces that provide views over the picturesque alleys of Chania’s Old Town as far as the White Mountains, plus the old harbour and Venetian lighthouse. To stay at Azade feels like stepping into a hidden sanctuary, where history and understated elegance intersect.

Set yourself up in the morning with an à la carte Cretan breakfast crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients and served in the hotel’s courtyard. The attentive concierge service ensures tailored recommendations; private boat trips along the Cretan coast to exploring world-class wineries. Just steps from the Venetian Harbour, Azade is perfectly positioned for discovering the town’s vibrant culinary scene, boutique shops and cultural landmarks.

Whether wandering the narrow cobbled streets lined with Venetian and Ottoman architecture, unwinding in its shaded courtyard or the comfort of your terrace, Azade Hotel offers an elegant retreat for travellers seeking authenticity, comfort and refinement within one of Crete’s most historically significant port town’s.
