This luxurious 5-star hotel is specially designed to celebrate authentic Greek gastronomy and Cretan heritage. The 12 sea-view suites mark the beginning of a unique hospitality concept that focuses on the most refined Greek cuisine and the traits of the local culture, catering both to leisure and 'foodie' travelers.

The Cultural Concept  The new Legacy Gastro Suites is located in Heraklion, capital of the island and landmark of the Cretan legacy.

Each of the 12 boutique suites hosts up to two guests in luminous spaces with original pieces of furniture, unique upholstery, and impressive chandeliers. The suites are inspired by three prominent characters of the Cretan cultural past. The art and heritage of the author Nikos Kazantzakis, the poet Vincenzo Kornaros, and the painter Domenico Theotokopoulos (El Greco) stir the decorative luxury and defining authenticity, praising the concepts of Light and Freedom, the two ideals that shape the local traditions of Crete.

The experience is designed to be present throughout the suites, hosting an all-Greek food station enhanced with Greek delicacies, wines and spirits.
