You can now book your stay at the first-ever JW Marriott hotel to open in Greece. The new JW Marriott Crete Resort & Spa began welcoming guests last month. The property is not only the first JW Marriott to open in Greece, but it is also the brand’s first Mediterranean beach resort.
JW Marriott Crete Resort & Spa provides more than 150 guestrooms, suites and villas, all with views of the Aegean Sea; many offer private pools. The resort sits on 100 acres near Chania, blending luxury with its natural surroundings through the use of planted roofs, olive groves and private terraces. The resort features six dining venues and the first JW Market, a café and retail space, in Europe.
“This extraordinary property captures the essence of the JW Marriott brand, pairing warm, intuitive service with serene, thoughtfully designed spaces that invite guests to be present and truly connect. Crete’s timeless beauty and heritage make it an inspiring setting for the brand’s first property in the country, and we look forward to welcoming guests to experience our signature approach to hospitality and well-being on this iconic island,” said Bruce Rohr, vice president and global brand leader, JW Marriott.
