Domes Noruz Chania, Autograph Collection

Domes Noruz Chania, Autograph Collection, is an adults-only beachfront hotel at 5 Strati Pantelaki Street in Agii Apostoli, west of the city of Chania on the island of Crete, Greece. The hotel has 83 rooms and was designed with the Venetian shipyards of Chania in mind, a reference to the arched neoridia shipyards on the Old Town harbour, which gives the architecture a distinctive maritime character. Agii Apostoli is a coastal area west of the centre, so the Old Town is a drive or taxi ride away rather than a stroll, and the hotel is positioned as a retreat for couples and adult travellers. Rooms and suites include air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and the adults-only policy means a quieter atmosphere without children's facilities. The property has two swimming pools, a spa, and direct beach frontage, so guests can alternate between pool and sea. Dining is centred on Zeen, the all-day restaurant, and a beachside raw bar, which together provide breakfast, lunch and evening meals with a focus on seafood and Mediterranean cooking. Typical high-season double rates are around EUR 350-800 per night, placing the hotel in the luxury bracket. As part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, it combines an independent design identity with brand-level service standards, including attentive reception and help with excursions to Elafonisi, Balos and the Samaria Gorge. The hotel suits honeymooners, couples and wellness-minded visitors who prefer calm to activity programmes. Visitors who want to eat in the Old Town most evenings should plan for taxi transfers, while those who prefer to stay on site will find enough dining and relaxation for a short stay. Early booking is advisable for July and August, and checking beach conditions, which can vary with wind, is sensible.
