An upbeat urban retreat overlooking the water at Crete’s second city, Chania, the 83 rooms of Domes Noruz offer plunge pools and lashings of contemporary design touches influenced by local Cretan history. The rooftop Raw Bar offers a trendy spot to watch the sun set while sipping a Giorgos Dendrakis-designed cocktail, and dining courtesy of award-winning chef Doxis Bekris takes a distinctly Cretan flavour, albeit with international influences – and on hand to cancel it all out, fitness regimen tailored by acclaimed personal trainer Nikos Putsikis.
