What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The hotel takes cues from the coastline, with a bright, sea-inspired palette and uninterrupted views across the Adriatic.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The waterfront promenade leads straight into the Old Town, just a short walk from the musical Sea Organ.
The rooms
Sea-green and gold palettes echo the coast outside, with windows looking across the Adriatic toward the Old Town.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated indoor pool connects through glass to the outdoor swimming terrace overlooking the Adriatic.
The spa and gym
A circular lounge holds woven daybeds beside the saunas and steam baths. Nearby, treadmills line the windowed gym.
Restaurant
Palm House
The dining room sits beneath a curved glass atrium, serving fresh Adriatic seafood and handmade pastas.
At the table
Fenix serves South American and Asian sharing plates overlooking the water, and Alfred's Bar pours cocktails behind sea-facing windows.
How it began
Architect Boris Podrecca transformed the early twentieth-century Maraska factory, joining terraced new wings to the historic facade.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
