Porto Del Colombo Traditional Boutique Hotel - Chania (Crete)

Traditional Boutique Hotel in Chania's Old Town - Housed in a 600-Year-Old Venetian Building

Historic Building & Setting

Porto Del Colombo Traditional Boutique Hotel is set in a fully renovated Venetian building that dates back almost 600 years. The structure retains its original architectural character, featuring traditional handmade woodcut furniture in every room. Guests stay in a property that is itself a piece of Chania's history, located within the western side of the Old Town.

Location & Surroundings

The hotel sits a few metres from the Old Harbour's edge, placing guests within a two-minute walk of the waterfront restaurants and shops. Chania's main shopping streets and the central bus station are accessible on foot, while the International Airport of Chania is 17 km away. The pedestrianised streets and steep steps leading to the hotel mean that all nearby attractions are reached by walking.

Accommodations & Room Features

Each of the 10 rooms is individually furnished with traditional handmade woodcut furniture, a minibar, air conditioning, and a TV. Certain rooms offer direct sea views of the lighthouse, while others look over the old town rooftops. All rooms include a private bathroom, soundproofing, and tea/coffee making facilities.

Breakfast & Daily Offerings

A rich breakfast buffet is served each morning in a spacious semi-basement dining room, including fresh orange juice, eggs, meats, cheeses, Greek yogurt, cakes, and pastries. Guests also receive complimentary coffee and tea available all day, along with daily fresh treats such as candies or traditional sweets. For early morning tours, the staff packs breakfast boxes to take along.

Services & Local Expertise

The reception staff-Roula, Flora, and Argyro-offer personalised local advice on the best beaches, restaurants, and excursions in Western Crete. The hotel provides luggage handling, airport shuttle arrangements, and a tour desk for booking day trips. Guests also have access to a shared lounge/TV area, laundry service, and safety deposit boxes.
