Scala De Faro

Scala de Faro hotel is a part of a historical building that goes back to the 15th Century. In the year of 2017, it was fully renovated and brought to you the way you see it today, infused with the sense of luxury and style. The most demanding traveller will feel the uniqueness of Scala de Faro.

The original building was constructed by the Venetians who ruled Chania back in the days, was afterwards renovated by the Ottomans in the 17th century and was turned into a hotel by the Greeks that was consequently closed in 1970.

Located at the historical and beautiful old Venetian harbor of Chania, our boutique 5 star hotel is a place that brings calm and happiness to the demanding traveler. Built, by Venetians, in the 14^th century to conduct their maritime trade and combat piracy. During Ottoman rule, the Venetian Port was left to chance until the 19^th century when the Egyptians occupied the area and reconstructed the harbor and its lighthouse.

Each floor retains its own features, as a direct reference to the construction materials and era they were used in (Venetian, Ottoman and Modern Greek periods respectively), in a repetitive pattern along with decorative motifs. The building has also been modified to accommodate persons with mobility impairments. Our hotel features a stair chair lift and an elevator, as well as a mobility friendly room.
