Hotel Adriatic Rovinj

If seeking a discerning bolthole in Rovinj Old Town, steeped in history but with modern luxuries in equal measure, look no further than the Hotel Adriatic. This is the oldest resort in town, though the building is older still – dating back to 1892, and inside there are charming original features throughout, including tall ceilings with intricate cornicing. Parquet wood floors, crisp white walls and soft grey drapes enhance the luxe feel, with splashes of colour brought to the guestrooms thanks to chartreuse yellow or olive green armchairs. As for the artwork, all pieces were curated specifically for the hotel, exhibiting works by international modern artists that range from photographs to paintings and sculptures, showcased across the Adriatic to stunning effect. Aside from its ravishing looks and privileged location, this Rosinj resort also wins visitors over with a sleek al fresco terrace, French brasserie and complimentary boat transfers to the islands of Sta Katarina and St Andreas; that is, when you’re ready to tear yourself away from the ever-elegant Hotel Adriatic, of course.
