The MINOA PALACE RESORT & SPA, a 5-star hotel, is in a seaside location, in the area of Platanias, in Chania, Crete. The original complex was created in 2002 and expanded in 2008. The two parts of the hotel are joined by a metal pedestrian bridge. The architectural style is classic, following Cretan architecture, with wood and local stone, which blend harmoniously with nature. Inside, simple lines prevail, with the common areas exuding cultural grandeur, as can be seen from the hotel lobby, which is decorated with works of art by famous Greek artists.
