About
About Palazzo Duca Chania Town
Boutique elegance meets Venetian history in Chania’s Old Town.
Palazzo Duca brings together the charm of a Venetian-era mansion and the comfort of a modern boutique stay in Chania’s Old Town. Set just a few steps from the harbourfront, the property reflects the city’s layered history—stone walls, wooden shutters, and discreet balconies overlooking winding alleys where cafés and artisan shops keep the quarter alive from dawn to late night.
The hotel’s suites and studios are designed with quiet luxury in mind. Smooth wooden floors, light-filled interiors, and soundproof windows create a calm retreat after a day of exploring. Some suites include spa baths or hydro-massage showers, while others open onto terraces where the sea breeze drifts in from the harbour. Many rooms come with kitchenettes, making longer stays or self-catered meals easy.
Guests benefit from features rare in Chania’s old houses: an elevator that provides effortless access to upper floors, daily housekeeping that keeps rooms refreshed, and strong WiFi for planning excursions or catching up on work. While Palazzo Duca does not operate its own restaurant, the surrounding streets offer a spread of tavernas and wine bars within minutes on foot.
Whether returning from a morning swim at Nea Chora Beach or an evening stroll along the lighthouse promenade, the hotel feels like an anchor between the bustle of the harbour and the quiet comfort of a private suite.
