OUR REVIEW
This re-discovered area of Chania - the Splanzia area - is on the edge of the marina which leads on to the Venetian harbour, from where the old buildings of Chania's famous waterfront are on view.
A 5 minute walk from the rich-produce and gift-packed indoor central market, 3 minutes from the waterside of the marina end of the Venetian harbour (which is itself barely a 10 minute walk).

Splanzia Hotel is an elegant, family-owned small town hotel with exposed stone, fine rooms with antique decor, pleasing bathrooms and a feel of solid quality. Converted with taste and inspired design features, it opened in 2006. The hotel's stone walls and arches blend with antique and chic design and furnishings. At the entrance, Splanzia Hotel has an uncluttered small, smart cafe which leads to a walled courtyard. On a mild sunny day breakfast is served in the courtyard or if you prefer (and on less inclement mornings) indoors, where a tasty preparation for your day is delivered to your table. The courtyard retains an ancient Turkish well - functioning (but not recommended for a drink of water these days!).
Giving the Italianate feel befitting its Venetian origins, a find of an inn, a charming small hotel, however you describe it, this is a pleasing & different way to enjoy Chania.

If even more enjoyment by Chania's waterfront, or shopping its narrow old streets or cafes, and chances to try even more local dishes seems something to leave for later - on one or other mornings of your visit - perhaps basking in the rooftop terrace sun may do the trick.

Shops of all sorts are at your starting point as you walk out the entrance, a wonderful local foods and wines specialist shop is two doors away.
