Five-star hotel and spa in a converted historic leather works at the edge of Chalepa, within walking distance of the Old Town.
The Tanneries Hotel & Spa is a five-star property at 19-25 Vivilaki Street in the Chalepa district of Chania, on Crete in Greece. Chalepa lies just east of the Old Town and was historically the quarter of consulates, embassies and neoclassical mansions, home in the late nineteenth century to Prince George of Greece and Eleftherios Venizelos. The hotel occupies a converted historic leather works, and the tannery heritage is the main architectural theme, with stone and industrial-era structures adapted into guest areas. Chalepa's coastal promenade and the Old Town harbour are both within walking distance, and Chania International Airport is roughly 15 km away. The hotel is classed as luxury, with double rooms and suites, and its listed amenities include a spa, restaurant, bar, air conditioning and Wi-Fi. The spa is the signature feature and typically includes treatment rooms and wellness facilities, while the restaurant and bar serve guests and visitors with Mediterranean and Cretan-influenced menus; details of menus and opening hours should be confirmed directly. High-season doubles typically cost EUR 220-450 per night (about $253-518 USD), with the figures indicative rather than live. There is no private beach listed; guests seeking a swim usually take a short taxi to Nea Chora beach or travel west to Platanias and Agia Marina. Service in a five-star urban hotel is generally more formal than in small Old Town boutiques, with concierge-style help for transfers, car hire and excursions to Samaria Gorge, Balos and Elafonisi. Compared with Old Town properties, the Chalepa location is calmer in the evening and easier for vehicle access, while still allowing guests to walk to the harbour in around 15 minutes. It suits couples, spa-focused travellers and visitors who want upscale comfort and historic character without staying in the pedestrian centre.
