Esplanade Zagreb Hotel, Zagreb

4.6 (12 reviews) · Luxury
Iconic Art Deco hotel with luxurious rooms, fine-dining options, and a health club with a spa

Overview

Esplanade Zagreb Hotel is a city icon and an architectural masterpiece that dates back to 1925. Originally designed as a haven for passengers from the Orient Express, this hotel stands out with its Art Deco glamour and grandiose exterior. Its prime location puts you next to a shopping center and Zagreb's central train station, yet also on the city's Green Horseshoe—an extension of parks, including the Botanical Gardens and Trg Kralja Tomislava. You can easily walk to attractions like the Ethnographic Museum, Croatian National Theatre, and Ban Jelačića Square.

The Esplanade Zagreb Hotel's 208 rooms and suites blend Art Deco style and modern conveniences. Each spacious room is thoughtfully designed with period furnishings, lush textiles, marble bathrooms, and city views. Suites add a bit more space with sofas and other seating areas, and the grand Esplanade Suite features a separate bedroom and open-concept dining room, sitting area, and workstation.

You could easily enjoy all your meals at the hotel, as you'll have your choice of award-winning restaurants managed by talented Chef Ana Grgić Tomić. Enjoy unique culinary twists, modern Mediterranean cuisine, and refreshing drinks. For a bit of rejuvenation, head to the hotel's exclusive Health Club to indulge in skin and body treatments designed to de-stress, replenish, and revitalize. There's also a well-equipped fitness room, e-scooter rentals, and the option to arrange a luxurious bath right in your room.

This might have been our least favorite hotel. The bathrooms were inconveniently laid out & the bathroom door was wobbly & loud. The vibe wasn't as nice as the other, more modern, hotels, and the food at the restaurant was just mediocre. Check-in & check-out took so much longer than everywhere else & the staff wasn't particularly friendly. Read more
