Ambassadors Residence is a beautiful hotel located on the quay of the 700-year-old Venetian port of Chania and provides a sense of modern comfort and luxury to this historic, neoclassical building from the 1890’s. The building was the private residence of German Ambassador R. Krüger and his wife Wilhelmine and was built in 1890 when the Ambassador first arrived on the island.
Each room of the hotel is themed after one of the materials and goods imported or exported by the ambassador. Each suite is individually designed with fabulous harbour views.
The hotel is situated inside the Venetian Port of Chania, a stone’s throw from the water. The Venetians, who ruled Crete, built the port between 1320 and 1356 to conduct maritime trade, serve their military ships and control and secure the Sea of Crete against the pirates. Chania was under Venetian rule between 1252 and 1645, when Ottoman (Turkish) rule took over until the end of the 18th century.
The Hotel is the perfect location for exploring the old town, including the many cafes restaurants and shops. A few nights in Chania can easily be combined with one Pure Crete’s properties in one of the surrounding villages and countryside to discover the real Crete and the island further .
