Hilton continues to expand its European network. The group has just announced the opening of two new properties, one in Greece, and the other in Iceland, illustrating its strategy of growth in popular tourist destinations.

In Chania, on the Crete island, the group unveils the Hilton Chania Old Town Resort & Spa, marking Hilton Hotels & Resorts’ return to Greece.

Located immediately adjacent to the old town and the seafront, the property aims to attract an international clientele year-round.

At the same time, Hilton opens the Skáld Akureyri, Curio Collection by Hilton, the first property of the brand in northern Iceland. Situated in the heart of Akureyri, it relies on an identity strongly rooted in local culture.

With this opening, Hilton strengthens its presence in Greece, where the group now operates more than 50 hotels under various brands.

The Hilton Chania Old Town Resort & Spa comprises 85 rooms and suites. All feature a balcony with a private heated pool, while some also offer a private sauna and views of the Aegean Sea.

The property also includes an on-site rooftop infinity pool, a botanical garden, a spa developed in partnership with L’Occitane en Provence, a fitness center and several spaces dedicated to hosting meetings, seminars, weddings or private events.

On the dining front, several concepts are offered: a Mediterranean all-day restaurant, a rooftop with a pool, a sea-facing lounge as well as a Fauchon cafe-patisserie, marking its first presence in Greece.

According to Hilton, this new property aligns with a plan to help desaisonnalize the destination by developing an offering suitable for both leisure travelers and business guests.

More than 4,000 kilometers from Crete, Hilton also continues its expansion in the Nordic countries with the opening of the Skáld Akureyri, Curio Collection by Hilton.

The hotel comprises 71 rooms as well as 15 serviced apartments. Its concept draws on Icelandic literary heritage: the name Skáld refers to the poets and storytellers who hold an important place in the country’s culture. This identity is reflected in the interior design, the choice of materials and the artworks present in the property.

The Abba-labba-lá restaurant showcases Nordic cuisine crafted from local and seasonal ingredients. Two rooftop terraces, a fitness space and several reception areas complete the offering.

Located just a few minutes’ walk from Akureyri’s city center, the hotel also positions itself as a gateway to the main natural sites of northern Iceland, including the Diamond Circle, whale-watching excursions, ski resorts and the Northern Lights.
