Mövenpick Makes A Move Into Crete
Swiss coziness (and maybe a decent helping of alpine chocolate) will meet the relaxed Greek way soon as Mövenpick Hotels take over the Candia Maris resort on Crete. From early 2008 the four-star spot will be known as the Mövenpick Resort and Thalasso Crete.
Sounds like Mövenpick has big plans for its first Greek hotel, which is nicely located directly on the beach and seven miles from the aiport--they plan to do renovations during the next two winter seasons. The big drawcard is the massive Thalasso spa complex which will offer regular thalassotherapy and beauty treatments plus niche specialties like a unique spine rehabilitation institute. Two indoor thalasso pools will add to the huge volume of water you'll find lying around here.
And on top of their Crete move, Mövenpick's looking to expand their presence around the Mediterranean, so keep an eye out for your other favorite resorts turning all Swiss on you.
