Called Hilton Chania Old Town Resort and Spa, the project is being developed by Hotelleading, whose COO Carlos Malliaroudakis has outlined plans focused on luxury hospitality, year-round operations, and MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences, and events) tourism. The property is positioned to attract both leisure travelers and business visitors during the traditional off-season, which could broaden Chania's appeal beyond the peak summer months.
