A New Era for Rijeka Tourism: Historic Jadran Reopens
Rijeka has gained a stunning new luxury landmark with the reopening of the historic Hotel Jadran on the Pećine waterfront. Originally opened in 1914, the 112-year-old property has undergone an extensive renovation to emerge as Croatia’s very first Tribute Portfolio hotel, operating under the prestigious Marriott International umbrella.
The revitalized hotel seamlessly blends its storied maritime heritage with contemporary design, offering 67 rooms and three suites. Most accommodations boast breathtaking views of the Kvarner Gulf. Famed architect Saša Randić led the structural renovation, while internationally acclaimed designer Saar Zafrir crafted interiors that pay homage to the Adriatic coast through deep blue tones, natural materials, and nautical details.
Literary Heritage Meets Modern Hospitality
Dubbed the "Port of Discovery," the hotel's renewed concept positions it as an ideal gateway for exploring Rijeka, Kvarner, and local culture. The property also embraces its literary roots, specifically honoring Croatian writer Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić and room 306, creating a cozy atmosphere dedicated to inspiration, reading, and writing.
The hotel's social hub, doca Restaurant, Bar & Lounge, welcomes both international travelers and locals with contemporary Mediterranean cuisine crafted from local ingredients. By bridging its historic past with global hospitality standards, Hotel Jadran significantly boosts Rijeka’s year-round tourism appeal.
