The hotel, located in the heart of Heraklion, will emerge from the renovation of the former Mediterranean Hotel, a local landmark. The hotel will offer 56 rooms, as well as a mix of leisure and business amenities, that will include a rooftop garden restaurant, pool, spa, fitness center, and library. It will be a year-round destination catering to a wide range of travelers.
The signing of ÉRA Hotel Heraklion, Tapestry Collection by Hilton marks another important milestone in our expansion in Greece. We are especially pleased to collaborate once again with Green Properties – Melakis S.A. on this unique project. This partnership, now extending to Heraklion, ensures the hotel will meet the highest hospitality standards. With its strong local identity and modern services, ÉRA Hotel Heraklion will deliver an authentic and memorable experience for every guest.– Andreas Koukás, Development Director for Hilton in Greece and Cyprus
This opening marks Hilton’s second property in Crete, following the December 2024 announcement of Hilton Garden Inn Chania City. The ÉRA Hotel Heraklion will be designed to blend contemporary comfort with Cretan culture, providing guests with an authentic experience while enjoying the benefits of Hilton’s global presence and the Hilton Honors loyalty program.
The expansion of Hilton’s Tapestry Collection in Europe and especially in South Europe, reflects a strategic focus on key markets like Italy, Spain, and Portugal, where there is growing demand for lifestyle-focused accommodations. By opening properties in cities such as Rome with the Spring House Hotel Rome Vatican, in Naples with the Palazzo Caracciolo Naples, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, and in Madrid with the Atocha Madrid, Hilton is tapping into the vibrant tourism and business sectors of these countries. Furthermore, the opening in Portugal, with Sé Catedral Hotel Porto – Tapestry Collection by Hilton, positions the brand itself to cater to both leisure and business travelers seeking authentic, locally inspired experiences.
We are proud to continue our partnership with Hilton through the signing of ÉRA Hotel Heraklion, Tapestry Collection by Hilton. This project reflects our commitment to sustainable development and to creating high-quality hospitality services. We look forward to welcoming guests to a hotel that blends contemporary design with authentic Cretan culture—while maintaining the exceptional standards of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton brand. We are confident that ÉRA Hotel Heraklion will become a vibrant and popular destination for both travelers and locals.- Manolis Melakis, CEO of Green Properties – Melakis S.A.
This new addition will further strengthen Hilton’s presence in Greece and offer travelers more opportunities to experience the country’s unique culture.
