ÉRA Hotel Heraklion, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, opened on 30 October 2026 at Daskalogiannis Square, in central Heraklion. The hotel has 55 rooms and occupies a fully renovated building, with design inspired by Cretan tradition and folk art elements.

The opening marks the next step in Hilton's partnership with Green Properties – Melakis S.A., which began with Hilton Garden Inn Chania City. ÉRA joins Tapestry Collection by Hilton, a portfolio of properties with identities shaped by their destinations.

The lobby bar features a canvas work by artist Giannis Alexandrakis, inspired by a traditional Cretan hem pattern, as well as a wall of clay jugs made exclusively for the hotel by a local pottery workshop. In the rooms, illustrations reference Cretan myths, including Ariadne, the Minotaur, Daedalus and Icarus.

On the top floor, the rooftop restaurant Rodopou & Beyond offers a creative Greek cuisine menu curated by chef Dimitris Georgiadis, along with a bar and outdoor pool overlooking the sea and Mount Giouchtas. The hotel also includes a gym and a meeting room.

The opening of ÉRA adds to a series of recent hotel developments in Crete, where announcements have also included Dertour's five-star Ananea Pnoe in Karteros, Heraklion, and new projects by the Karatzis Group.
