Rooms With a View

Aris Boutique Hotel, opened in 1988 by the Liatakis family, is 90 km from Souda. The air-conditioned rooms feature high-quality furnishings, a balcony, and garden or sea views. Rooms include ironing facilities, heating, a tea/coffee maker, a mini-bar, a sitting area, a terrace or patio, soundproofed walls, garden furniture, a sink, free toiletries, an electric kettle, an AM/FM alarm clock, a flat-screen TV, and parquet floors. The private bathroom has a shower. Free WiFi is available. Suites have marble floors and bright colors, plus a balcony with sea views.

Artistic Environment

Both inside and outside, guests will find art, crafted mostly by Konstantinos Liatakis, one of the three siblings that opened Aris Art Hotel back in 1988, and other local artists. The walls are inspired by the Greek sea, sky, and nature. Bespoke, hand-crafted wooden headboards were made by the family's artist, Kostas. The hotel has a vinyl records corner where one may enjoy music, exchange opinions, and make suggestions. Lush gardens feature tropical flowers and local flora. A ground floor terrace provides a colorful, shaded sitting area with art installations.

Relaxation and Exploration

Guests can enjoy massage and healing therapies in the garden or on the roof terrace, depending on the winds. The chill out roof terrace includes hummocks and a lounge area. Plakaki beach is near Paleochora, Chania, offering calm waters for swimming. Paleochora is an ideal destination for alternative activities like walking and trekking. Visit archaeological sites to explore the island's cultural heritage. The hotel is five minutes' walk from the town center, and away from the night buzz. Guests can explore the far western side of the island, visiting Elafonissi and Kedrodasos beaches, part of the Natura 2000 network.

Local Landmarks

The hotel is near Castel Selino (1 km), Evangelistra Church (1 km), Palaiochora (1 km), Gialiskari Beach (3.5 km), Sandy Beach (4 km), Psilos Volakas (2.5 km), Paralia Psilos Volakas (2 km), and Venetian Fort (1 km). Plakaki beach is 3 km away.

Paleochora Vibe

The hotel is located in Paleochora. Social life and nightlife are framed by cafes and bars with outdoor tables, serving local 'tsikoudia' spirit and snacks. Paleochora features a blend of cafes, bars, and tavernas serving Cretan food. The southern coast of Chania is a remote and wild land. The camping site has a beach bar. Guests can visit Chalikia or Votsala beach, facing east.

“This family-run boutique hotel struck me with its commitment to local art and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. I especially appreciate the thoughtful touches like free bicycles for exploring the area, and what I read indicates, a breakfast that truly highlights regional ingredients. It seems ideal for travelers who value personalized service and a quiet location within easy reach of the town's attractions.”
