The Tanneries, Chania, a Member of Design Hotels™

Our favorite hotel we’ve ever stayed at. The service, design, everything was so intentional. We will be coming back!

Beautiful newer oceanfront property that has excellent service and amenities. All rooms face the ocean with about half having balconies. Sunset views over the Aegean Sea are amazing. If you plan to get in the sea near the property make sure you bring water shoes along. They also have saltwater pool which is luxurious along with spa. Food quality and service is excellent. Hotel is about a 20-25 min walk to the harbor area and flat so easy to walk.

Incredible hotel and people. Beautiful view and breakfast.

Amazing amazing amazing. No other way to put our stay at The Tanneries.

Très belle vue mais l’accueil n’est pas à la hauteur d’un 5 étoiles.

PERFECT!

This hotel was absolutely amazing. The view from our room was breath taking. The staff was friendly and helpful with local recommendations. Highly recommend!!

From the moment we arrived, the experience felt exceptional. The staff welcomed us warmly and handled every request with effortless professionalism. Our room was immaculate, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable — especially the bed and linens, which made for some of the best sleep we’ve had while traveling.

This was one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at. It was like staying in a museum. Each person at the front desk was extremely personable and pleasant. We felt very welcomed. We had dinner on Valentine’s Day, which was easily Michelin star rated. The wine sommelier was fantastic. She paired the wines for each portion of the meal perfectly, and the food was dynamite. The young man who was taking care of us never let me fill my water glass myself. He was fantastic as well. Just walking into the place was wonderful. It felt spacious and very clean. The room was bright, clean, and had a wonderful view off the balcony to the ocean. You could see the town of Chania to the left and also you could see the lighthouse. The only thing negative I’d have to say is that there was limited parking. But you could park in an adjacent lot about 200 m up the hill. So you could always find parking. Quite often they had an attendant who would take your car up the hill for you. So that wasn’t so bad. If that’s the worst thing I can talk about, there’s really nothing bad that can be said. Oh and the breakfast was wonderful too. Hands down, this was the best overall experience we have had traveling anywhere.

Amazing hotel

Beautiful view!!!

We went to this hotel because of the view and the sauna - and we got so positively suprised! The sea view is spectacular, just outside the window. 🌊💫the breakfast amazing with options à la varte. The people working there was very friendly also. Thanks a lot and hope to be back! 💞

Amazing hotel and staff, the breakfast is great add, wine in the room!

Absolutely incredible!!! The staff were amazing, it was super new and clean. The architecture was great and the breakfast was the highlight for us.

Incredible experience in this lovely hotel in Chania. Everything was perfect, from the service to the restaurant.

Everything was incredible from the moment we arrived. Early check in was available, the team arranged parking for our car. Had dinner both nights at the restaurant and can’t fault the food, my chef partner loved everything on the menu. Staff were so attentive and lovely. Good location if you’re looking for somewhere slightly out of town, a little quieter. Only a 20ish minute walk into old town.

Amazing experience! Beautiful property

A very unique/ strange property set amongst derelict buildings. The hotel itself is very upmarket, clean and modern. The Moet and nibbles in the room on arrival was a lovely touch. A shuttle to town could have been useful with no real bar there. The walk is 20-30 minutes Breakfast was great with lots of choice and great outlook. Some homeless boys showed up outside asking for money and looking at my hand bag while I was sunbathing, also going in the swimming pool entrance which made us wary of our belongings and safety. I wouldn’t call it a spa hotel as there is no one on site and we tried to get massages on 3 occasions. We were offered 7.30pm at night which was not ideal but eventually after asking several times my husband got one but I didn’t. The breakfast restaurant staff were very welcoming and the man on reception (with tattoos, sorry I don’t remember his name) was very accommodating, attentive and helpful. The evening restaurant staff we did not find very friendly. The first night we went for a drink around 10/10,30pm on our return from walking to town. I am not keen on fizzy drinks and asked for orange juice which they were unable to provide, the subsequent nights we went to the only other bar a few doors down where we did feel welcome and offered food choices other than fish. The property and cleaning is 5 star but the attention to detail and small things at a 5 star hotel from staff was lacking a little for me.

Wonderful place to stay

Room was gorgeous, spacious, and loved the steam shower! Had a room with balcony. Staff were all very nice and willing to help! Great service!
