Esplanade Hotel Room 416 - Zagreb, Croatia
According to their site, “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.”
When WWII was upon the world and until 1945, the hotel became the headquarters of Gestapo and Wehrmacht. It would go on to take the hotel nearly 20 years to recover from that time period, serving as a public kitchen until the early 1960s. In 1964, it would all change - they joined the Inter-continental hotel chain and the celebrities came flocking again.
Then, nearly 30 years later in 1991, Croatia proclaimed independence and the war started. The hotel became headquarters for journalists and also accommodated its first group of refugees from Vukovar. Most of the 70 refugees left within several weeks however, one stayed behind a a nurse who is still living at the hotel to this day! Still, the hotel suffered with lack of reservations during this time period. It would take about three years to renovate it (again) to attract people to it.
Today, the “who’s who” grace the lobby bar, its restaurants, and its rooms once again.
OUR EXPERIENCE: We stayed in the Deluxe Suite, which was about $750 for three nights. It was well-worth if for us, since we work evenings. The bed was heavenly!
The Spa
We also took advantage of the spa - try the magic honey and the ginger therapy ones. Both were so relaxing for us!
Dining
While Zinfandel’s was closed for renovations, Le Bistro and Esplanade 1925 were both open. As we learned the hard way, Le Bistro needs reservations in advance however, the lounge and cocktail bar does not and it has a wonderful food and drink menu! We highly recommend the gluten-free Štruklji, which is the Croatian name for “white lasagna”, and is the chef’s signature dish. It is unbelievably amazing. We also recommend the tea service and cocktails.

This is awesome absolutely fantastic video extremely beautiful really appreciate.
So much fun, I just saw they are going to be doing more renovations to the museum
The WOKES are going to hide our REAL NC history from you and your family. Sorry you will never know the REAL History. 😩
Wow 🎉😢😢😮😮😮😮😮, subscribed 😮😮😮😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😊
How much does the train ride and the mine tour cost? Also the ghost town, how much?
Both are $12 each for adults and $8 for kids. I believe they do have combo packages that reduce the rate. Walking around the town is free!
They do have buffet??
They do have one, yes.
Very small rooms
Place is a must visit for sure, so much cool stuff

Great sound in this theatre
Humble beginnings
Ferris Buellers day off
Literally just spent 4 nights there, absolutely not one power outage weather was great (summer), no sound of construction even though they are building a water park and new rooms, the eateries were decent 4/5 for onsite quick eats. Drinks were great bartenders made them nice 😉 I didn’t here you mention the beach club that’s beautiful all the employees were super nice. We left the resort every day to go to a gym in Bucerías, since the only complaint we had was the lack of free weights in the on-site gym. We will return in January for another stay.
I’m glad you had a better experience. We went there in august and there was one mild storm - June isn’t technically summer until the 21st, so you’re not going to get bad weather. They seemed to have put you in a better room. There was no gym or beach club offered when we went, so it seems things have changed on that end, too. As for food - because I have serious allergies, that’s where it gets tough. In addition, there were virtually no healthy snacks available, so it all comes down to preference 🙂
hi, I'm planning to go to this place next week, are all pools/jacuzzis open? also the pantry is available in all inclusive or is only for platinum or premium members? thanks
@@breadwater71 Hi! Sorry for the delay. I don't know what is open right now, since we went a year ago, but I'm going to assume so. And, the pantry is open to all guests staying there. Though, I'll warn you, it's not filled with healthy eats or even many options.
@@breadwater71 how did you like it I want to book here wondering if it is better now
ive actually been there and the next room is actually pretty cool ngl
The whole thing was such a fun experience. I’ll be honest I “cheated” in that next room and used my phone light to get out 😝
