Aris hotel is the impressive art hotel of Paleochora, Crete. It is open all year round to offer you the chance to experience Crete every season of the year.

Aris hotel is a family business. It is run since 1988 by the Liatakis family – now in its second generation. The latest renovation of the art hotel took place in the winter of 2015.

Aris, unlike other hotels, is called an “art hotel” for good reason. In the outside and inside spaces of the hotel, there is an open gallery of excellent handmade art items, made by the artists of the family. This open gallery is constantly changing, as the older items are sold and newer items are created. During the 2015 renovation, the hotel and room interiors were carefully designed and decorated with excellent art items made by our family’s artists.Apart from the art items, the architecture of the hotel – for both the building and the lush gardens – compliments the art profile of aris hotel. 

Our vision and lasting desire is to offer an authentic experience of this untamed land with respect and humility. Nature is a part of us, it is us, and thus over time the hotel has been infused with elements of nature both within and around. The hotel’s signature profile is that of an Art hotel. Around the premises, the interior and exterior spaces host art pieces, mostly crafted by the artist Konstantinos Liatakis, as well as from other local artists. Kostas is a multifarious artist, whose workshop is housed within the hotel and whose art work is displayed all around, providing playful, intriguing and distinct design touches. Every corner, room, common space and throughout our exterior lush gardens, one may find art pieces that create an interconnected open gallery which changes and redefines itself ceaselessly.
