Once a refuge for passengers of the Orient Express, the fairytale-inspired Esplanade Zagreb Hotel now serves as a luxurious (and glamorous) getaway for everyone from actors and authors to royalty. Stay in one of the 208 rooms and suites, thoughtfully designed with art deco details and marble-clad bathrooms. Unwind in the spa with celebrity-worthy facials and massages. And savor regional specialties like Istrian pasta and the hotel’s signature štrukli, said to be the best puff pastry in town.
