The 118-room hotel stands on Afstralon Polemiston Street in Rethymno, on the north coast of Crete, and pairs its meeting floor with restaurants, pools and sea-view rooms for groups that stay several nights.
Seminars and company events
The hotel received the Best Greek Hotel Conference Center award at the Greek Hospitality Awards 2024. Its three meeting rooms cover more than 450 square meters together.

The Palm Room, smaller and full of daylight, works for small working groups and business dinners.

The hotel hosts weddings, engagement parties, large birthday celebrations and other private events. The Ball Room is the main space for receptions, and the hotel has worked alongside wedding planners, florists and photographers on past celebrations. Guests can be housed in the hotel's rooms and suites, which keeps a wedding weekend in one place.
