Hilton (NYSE: HLT) today announced a franchise agreement with Tsiledakis S.A to open Imperial Flair Chania Old Town, Curio Collection by Hilton, which will join two Curio Collection by Hilton hotels in Crete. Set to open in 2026, the 85-room hotel will take a prime beachfront location in the picturesque town of Chania and all guest rooms will feature a private pool.

Imperial Flair Chania Old Town, Curio Collection by Hilton will reflect Curio Collection by Hilton´s portfolio of one-of-a-kind hotels handpicked for their unique character, featuring two dining outlets, including a specialty rooftop restaurant. Guests can also take a dip in the indoor or outdoor pools, take advantage of the upscale fitness facilities or enjoy an afternoon relaxing in the spa. There will also be meeting space for business travellers, and events and retail options are available from the hotel's two onsite shopping outlets. The hotel will be located on the western seafront of Chania, right beside the Venetian Port and the Old Town, where the Municipality of Chania has approved a study for the redevelopment of the coastal front.

Crete, the largest of Greece's islands and one of the most popular destinations for European tourists, offers a beautiful natural landscape, rich gastronomic culture and ancient historical sites. Chania, on the island's northwest coast, is known for some of the island's best beaches, as well as the Old Venetian Port of Chania, with its striking 16^th-century lighthouse and a wide variety of restaurants and cafes. A short walk from the hotel are Chania's beaches and Old Town, and a short drive away are other Cretan beaches, including Elafonissi Beach, with its charming pink sand, and Balos Beach, with its shallow and vivid turquoise waters.
