Rooms

Domus Ariadne includes six uniquely designed rooms, each inspired by the artist Giorgio de Chirico. Each room features its own mural that influences the furnishings and architectural expression of the space. Guests can choose from accommodations like the spacious Grigio Luxury Suite with a kitchenette or the Rosso Luxury Double Terrace with its private terrace overlooking the city.

Location

Situated behind the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion, Domus Ariadne places guests just minutes away from the city's main attractions. Lions Square, with its cafes, shops, and restaurants, is a short three-minute walk. The hotel also offers quick access to a bus stop for Knossos, a 20-minute ride to the historic palace of the Minoan civilization.

Artistic Design

Domus Ariadne presents a contemporary Art Deco design that respects the building's original cultural identity. The central atrium serves as a focal point, reminiscent of the Roman Domus typology. Unique elements like arches inspired by de Chirico's paintings add character to doors, bannisters, and cabinetry.

Guests can experience their breakfast in a serene courtyard, designed for relaxation in the quiet neighborhood. The hotel emphasizes local cuisine by recommending nearby dining options that showcase authentic Cretan flavors. Evening wine service is also available in the charming courtyard for guests wishing to unwind.
