Description
The original building, constructed in 1961 as a residence for the political elite and converted into a hotel two years later, is part of the city’s skyline and protected for its integration into the landscape — a condition that limits any intervention on the façade in terms of color, volume, or texture. The hotel’s management sought an aesthetic renewal capable of repositioning the property internationally as a distinguished option within the excellence standards of the Leading Hotels of the World. The choice of a Brazilian studio stemmed from the desire to introduce a new perspective associated with the energy and inventiveness of contemporary Brazilian design, while preserving the authenticity of Croatian culture from an external point of view. Transformations were therefore focused on the interiors, fully redesigned by Studio Arthur Casas to reinterpret local identity through a contemporary lens.
