The first JW Marriott Greece hotel, JW Crete Resort & Spa, brings the brand's mindful ethos to Hellas.
Over 100 hectares, a picturesque stretch of coastline and a luxurious hideaway: this is how you can already imagine the JW Marriott Crete Resort & Spa . However, it's not quite there yet. The first JW Marriott Greece won't open until 2025. And yet there's already reason to look forward to it. The hotel promises to be a unique franchise project from Vasilaikis SA and Marriott International. The successful company SWOT Hospitality is taking over the management of the new luxury hotel in Greece.
The renowned architecture firm Block722 is responsible for the design of the JW Marriott Crete Resort & Spa. It combines the authentic Crete heritage of the island with the elegance that guests have come to expect from JW Marriott. The new resort will comprise 160 stylish rooms as well as suites and villas. The latter two will have a private pool or a Jacuzzi.
The location of the ensemble couldn't be more beautiful. The first JW Marriott Greece is located on Marathi Beach on the outskirts of Chania. It's known for its crystal-clear, shallow waters and functions as a starting point for excursions to Crete. The medieval town is not the only place worth exploring. You should also visit the surrounding area with some of the best beaches on the island. It's about two hours from the airport to Heraklion.
It is already hidden in the name of the new JW Marriott Greece: the spa. In fact, the new resort on Crete will offer exceptional service as well as Holistic feel-good experiences umfassen. Ergänzt wird das Spa durch ein Fitnesscenter, einen Beach Club und zahlreiche “Family by JW”-Erlebnisangebote. Mehrere Swimmingpools ergänzen die Anlage.
“Wir sind zuversichtlich, dass die Marke die Hotelszene in Greece bereichern und einen neuen Luxusstandard für unsere Gäste setzen wird”so Antonios Vasilakisthe owner of Vasilakis SA. Marriott International is also convinced: “Greece continues to be one of the most attractive destinations for travelers from all over the world and our agreement to open the JW Marriott Crete Resort & Spa spiegelt die anhaltende Nachfrage nach luxuriösen Unterkünften im ganzen Land wider”so Jerome BrietChief Development Officer, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Marriott International.
And further: "We look forward to working with Vasilakis SA and SWOT Hospitality to bring the JW brand heritage, which is centered around exceptional hospitality, thoughtful design and enriching wellness experiences, to the island of Crete.".
