From the initial design to completion, our team has been working on creating an innovative boutique property. These elements, which will be seen throughout the property, will be further enhanced by the spectacular destination of Chania.”
Dining options will include Zeen, a Cretan restaurant headed up by head Chef Doxis Bekris, which will serve up locally inspired cuisine with hints of international influence, whilst the N Bar and rooftop Raw Bar will offer a selection of cocktails. The design of the hotel’s spa is inspired by traditional local embroidery and fabrics, dominated by a shade of sky blue, and lit with diffused indirect lighting.

As the portfolio grows in Greece, a country where Autograph Collection has been so well received with Domes of Elounda, we believe that Domes Noruz Chania truly embodies the philosophy of our collection by showcasing unique attributes ensuring that the brand’s offering is nothing short of exactly like nothing else.”
