Esplanade Zagreb Hotel
Zagreb, Grad Zagreb, Croatia · Virtuoso · 2026 benefits
Opened in 1925 as a refuge for passengers from the Orient Express, the über-stylish Esplanade Zagreb Hotel is an architectural gem. Located within easy reach of key attractions, the city’s most iconic hotel combines art deco glamour with every contemporary convenience. Long-established as a haven for A-List movie stars, politicians, singers and artists, the hotel’s fairytale exterior and gracious guest accommodation make it easily the most prestigious hotel in Zagreb.
Once a refuge for passengers of the Orient Express, the fairytale-inspired Esplanade Zagreb Hotel now serves as a luxurious (and glamorous) getaway for everyone from actors and authors to royalty. Stay in one of the 208 rooms and suites, thoughtfully designed with art deco details and marble-clad bathrooms. Unwind in the spa with celebrity-worthy facials and massages. And savor regional specialties like Istrian pasta and the hotel’s signature štrukli, said to be the best puff pastry in town.
