The Tanneries Hotel and Spa
Vivilaki 19, Crete, Greece
20 Rooms
Modern Design & Quiet
For nearly two centuries, Chania’s historic tanneries processed leather on a stretch of rocky shoreline outside town, far enough away that the smell wouldn’t bother the city’s residents. The old stone factories were largely abandoned after World War II, and though the district of Tabakaria is considered an architectural monument, it looked like a ghost town for years — until the Tanneries Hotel and Spa moved in. Seeing potential in the secluded waterfront location and its heritage-protected buildings, the owners transformed four connected tanneries into an industrial-chic boutique hotel with all rooms overlooking the Aegean Sea.
Plenty of the buildings’ original character remains: their red roof tiles, high ceilings, exposed stone walls, and vaulted wood beams hold up particularly well. An antique well is visible through a glass panel on the restaurant floor, and the old dyeing pits were converted into an outdoor pool and Jacuzzi. The interiors are minimalist, featuring lots of concrete and glass, blonde wood, and — of course — leather. Suites are quietly luxurious with built-in modular furnishings and travertine bathrooms. The main thing, whether in rooms with small balconies or two-level suites with fireplaces, Jacuzzis, and terraces, is the unobstructed ocean view. The same is true at the striking spa and at Periplous Seaside, the hotel’s stylish restaurant, where modern Cretan cuisine is served on a picturesque open-air terrace.
