Metaxa Hotel
Eleftherias Square; Heraklion, Greece
Metaxa Hotel offers an intimate all-suite experience on Eleftherias Square, close to Heraklion’s Archaeological Museum. The current hotel presents twelve suites inspired by Crete’s landscape, with sea views and an earthy palette that connects contemporary interiors with the island’s natural colours. Diktamo, Terra and Azure categories express that idea through botanical, land and sea references. The small scale makes the choice of suite a central part of the stay, while thoughtful living space gives guests a comfortable place to return between museum visits and city walks. Cretan products also form part of the hospitality, including produce displayed within the accommodation. This is particularly appealing to couples who want a personal boutique setting without leaving the centre of Heraklion. Its place in the selection rests on the combination of generous suite accommodation, an immediate cultural address and a clear local design identity. The property is listed under its current Metaxa name, following the official website’s change from Legacy Gastro Suites.
