This is an exceptionally nice place. We liked the restaurant. Well presented food and nice atmosphere. We booked a suite. The room was in excellent condition. Great value for off season trips. We visited Zagreb end of February.

Fun United States of America

The location, extremely friendly and professional staff, restaurant Zinfandels (prime dinning!)

Helga Croatia

Everything was pristine, beautiful and very clean. Supreme location, close to everything yet nice and quiet.

Karmen Croatia

Everything is what you'd expect from a 5-star hotel, but after several stays, I can tell you what sets the Esplanade apart and keeps me coming back is their bar. Very well stocked bar, staff that are knowledgeable on their cocktails and willing to have a friendly conversation. Thanks for making this American feel like he was back home.

Sabastian Italy

Cantwell Ireland

Luxury hotel a few blocks from main sights in Old Town. Lots of restaurants and cafes nearby and good restaurant on site. Very friendly staff. Huge room and bathroom!

Deanna United States of America

The hotel is beautiful and centrally located. The rooms are large, and the beds are comfortable. The included breakfast was the best I’ve ever had. There is a huge buffet but you can also order off the menu. I got a perfectly made avocado eggs Benedict. All of the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I had a massage at the spa and it was great also.
