Malmo Historic Hotel is located at the center of the Chania old town, at the Venetian district of Ponte dei Viari. The hotel probably was part of the Latin monastery ‘Santa Maria della Misericordia’ of the Order of the Augustinian Recollects, which was built around the half of the 16th century.
After the city was occupied by the Ottomans in 1645, the building was turned into mansions, and remained as such till the first decades of the 20th century, by which point the building had added one more identity to its history by becoming a library.
Antonio Malmo, a Cretan with Italian and Maltese descent, was a man that combined education with culture. As a passionate lover of the arts, his obsession for books collection led him to the foundation of Malmios Library in 1928, at the building where Malmo Historic Hotel is now housed. For more than four decades this space was a hive of culture, in which multiple fermentations of arts and education took place.
Antonio Malmo was a man with a vision, and everything he created aimed at the personal development and the sharpening of the mind. Through knowledge, books and the journey through their pages, he created a spark of culture which inspired an entire city.
