Back in 1925, this hotel was considered the most remarkable and gracious building in Zagreb. Originally built to welcome travelers from the Orient Express, today its Art Deco appearance is complemented by contemporary touches, while the service still parallels standards of the most exclusive hotels in the world. Over the last century, hotel Esplanade has welcomed countless presidents, dignitaries, and celebrities. In the very heart of Zagreb, Esplanade makes it truly easy to feel the pulse of Croatia's capital city and is considered an elite venue and cultural-historic icon of Zagreb.
