Historic boutique hotel in Chania Old Town with private hot tubs and rooftop terrace
Location and Surroundings
Palazzo Duca sits near the Venetian harbour in the old city of Chania, within a short stroll of taverns, café-bars, and the central market. The Maritime Museum of Crete and the Archaeological Museum of Chania are both within easy walking distance from the hotel. Nea Chora beach is 800 metres away, while Chrissi Akti and Agii Apostoli beaches lie less than 3 km from the property.
Rooms and Accommodations
Each room is equipped with Cocomat mattresses, a kitchenette, LCD satellite TV, and a safe, providing functional comfort for stays of several nights. Certain rooms include a spa bath or a seating area, and most open onto a balcony with views of the old city. The Junior Suite and the Suite with Spa Bath offer additional space and a private hot tub.
Dining and Breakfast
Breakfast is served at the adjacent Enetikon restaurant, offering a continental buffet and made-to-order omelettes. The breakfast staff at Enetikon are noted for their friendly service and use of local Cretan ingredients. Guests also have the option to enjoy lunch or dinner at Enetikon during their stay.
Services and Practical Information
The hotel provides express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, and a tour desk to help plan visits to local attractions. A lift is available for access to upper floors, and airport shuttle services can be arranged to and from Chania International Airport (12 km away). Car access to the old city is restricted to 7am-9am, so guests park outside the old city walls and walk 200 metres to the hotel.
Terrace and Nearby Beaches
A shared rooftop terrace on the top floor offers panoramic views of the Venetian harbour and the surrounding old city. The hotel is within 800 metres of Nea Chora beach, and other popular beaches such as Chrissi Akti and Agii Apostoli are less than 3 km away. This combination of a scenic terrace and nearby coastal access allows guests to enjoy both city and sea during their stay.
