Esplanade Zagreb

Dating back to the 1920s, Esplanade Zagreb is a historic hotel at the centre of the city. Originally built to welcome guests travelling between Paris and Istanbul on the Orient Express, Esplanade Zagreb still proudly displays many of the hotel’s original features. With such a glamorous history, the Esplanade Zagreb has long been the hotel of choice in the city for countless famous names, from Hollywood celebrities to Royal families.

The 208 rooms at Esplanade Zagreb are designed in a classic style, with Art Deco touches to transport guests back to the glamour of 1925. Many of the spacious rooms offer lovely views across the picturesque architecture and charming parks of the city, and the décor is in-keeping with the elegant façade of the building.

Dining at Esplanade Zagreb takes place in Zinfandel’s Restaurant, where seasonal ingredients are combined with a creative take on traditional Croatian cuisine to provide a unique fine-dining experience. Guests can enjoy a pre-dinner drink in the hotel’s bar, Esplanade 1925, home to a delicious selection of Orient Express-inspired cocktails.

Thanks to its fantastic location, the Esplanade Zagreb is within easy walking distance of many of the city’s key sights. It is just a 10-minute walk to Zagreb’s main square and the Old Town, where there are many picturesque winding streets to explore. After a day discovering the best of Zagreb, guests can return to the Esplanade Zagreb’s health club to relax in the sauna or enjoy a revitalising spa treatment.
