After a multi-phase transformation, Vanisko Hotel completes fully renovation.
Heraklion, August 30, 2025

Following an extensive renovation Vanisko Hotel is now welcoming guests to its new facilities and all renovated areas and rooms.

The renovation started in October 2020 and ended in May 2025 during the winter months.

The first phase included the two lower floors and were closed from October 2020 to April 2021.

The second phase started in early 2021, included the exterior of the hotel that was totally redesigned and the creation of the new elevator which ended in June 2021.

The third phase included the two upper floors and were closed from November 2022 to April 2023.

All hotel rooms and facilities, interior and exterior areas were fully renovated by modern building materials and technologies, following all the contemporary measures of safety and hygiene protocols.

During the same period all interior public areas were also renovated including reception and lobby area, restaurant, public bathrooms as well as the creation of a Meeting Hall and the Café area beside the lobby of the hotel.

Further, the hotel also added in its’ inventory three Deluxe rooms, a Junior and a Queen Suite on the second floor with Pool view. The suites have also a unique style in-room jacuzzi bathtub!

Lastly, the renovation finished with the brand-new buffet in the restaurant which was finished in May this year.

During the renovation we went through inspection from TUV-NORD for the star classification procedure that is requested from the government and we were successfully awarded as a 3-star hotel by the Greek National Tourism Organization. This was a remarkable milestone for us, as the hotel got almost 4000 points which are required for a 4-star hotel. This makes Vanisko a 3 Star Superior Hotel and without a doubt.
