5-star heritage hotel on the Chania waterfront with a full-service spa
Historic Setting and Design
The Tanneries Hotel & Spa occupies a set of heritage-protected industrial buildings directly on the waterfront. The architectural design blends the original stonework and industrial lines with modern interiors, creating a space that feels both historical and new. Guests arrive to find a converted tannery that now offers premium bedding, custom amenities, and views of the sea from nearly every room.
Accommodations and Room Types
The rooms at the tanneries range from Deluxe Suites with sea-front balconies to Family Suites that include a mezzanine loft for children. Many suites include a private steam shower or a balcony with a jacuzzi, allowing guests to enjoy spa-level amenities in their own space. The Family Suite Sea Front, for example, offers two sleeping areas divided by a mezzanine, making it suitable for couples traveling with children.
Wellness and Spa Services
The on-site spa and wellness center offers a full menu of treatments using premium APIVITA products, including couples massage, body scrubs, and facial treatments. Guests can use the indoor heated pool, the steam room, or the hot tub/jacuzzi, and the spa also provides a hammam and a relaxation area. The spa lounge/relaxation area is open year-round and is available to all hotel guests.
Dining and Local Experiences
Periplous restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a menu focused on Greek cuisine, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. The hotel also offers cooking classes, walking tours, and tours about local culture, all organized through the concierge service. In the evenings, guests can order wine/champagne or cocktails while seated on the outdoor patio overlooking the water.
