Lonely Planet review
There's something about a sprawling hotel drenched with history. This six-storey, 215-room hotel was built next to the train station in 1924 to welcome the Orient Express crowd in grand style and has hosted kings, journalists, artists and politicians. It's an Art Deco masterpiece replete with walls of swirling marble, immensely wide staircases and wood-panelled elevators.
Even if you're not staying at the hotel, take a peek at the magnificent Emerald Ballroom or eat at Zinfandel's Restaurant, the hotel restaurant and one of the finest dining experiences in Croatia.
Rooms vary greatly in size, but all are high-ceilinged and plushly decorated in period upholstery, with the latest modern conveniences. The best rooms look out at the esplanade in front of the train station; the double-glazed windows mean that you won't be bothered by noise while you contemplate the street scene. The slightly formal, courtly attitude of the staff blends perfectly with the hotel's style - traditional, classic, unswayed by fads, a bulwark of stability in a frivolous world.
