This classic 1925 art-deco hotel right in the centre of Zagreb is elegant, comfortable and discretely modernised. The staff are always charming and helpful. The Bistro is very well priced for the quality and location - and there is a beautiful cocktail bar and gourmet restaurant too. The spectacular public areas have all been beautifully restored to their 20s glory. It is always a pleasure to stay here when we visit friends in Zagreb.

Doesn’t get better than this. The rooms made you feel like you never wanted to leave. Except that the lobby restaurant and bar kept calling your name. Location is walkable to all the major sights in Zagreb and public transportation is the best. This is a truly 5 star hotel and the staff and accommodations are all up to standards. Take an extra day to get joy the spa and other amenities the hotel offers.

Our stay was nothing short of extraordinary. The hotel is housed in a truly beautiful, historic building that immediately sets a luxurious tone the moment you step into the grand lobby. Its prime location made exploring the city effortless, with major sights and top dining just a short walk away. What truly elevated our experience, though, was the exceptional service. Our room was immaculately tidy, stylishly appointed, and offered a wonderful retreat after a long day of sightseeing. To top it off, the complimentary bottle of wine left in our room was a lovely, high-quality touch that we thoroughly enjoyed. If you are looking for five-star luxury paired with unmatched hospitality and the perfect location, this is the place to stay.
