Halepa
Hotel was built in the 4th quarter of the 19th
Century by a wealthy merchant and its design follows the New
Classical style period. It was used during the late 1800's and the
early 1900's (the era of Cretan Democracy) as the Embassy building
of the British. During that time, it played a very important role in
the Cretan history.
Many significant treaties have been
signed in this area. In the year 1990, it was renovated and a new
42- room wing was attached.
The new wing was carefully
constructed so that the magnificence of the old structure could be
maintained unaltered. The hotel has operated since then with great
success.
Last renovation was in 2005.
