The new build property sits on the rocky shores of the Adriatic Sea, and is constructed in the style of the nearby villas that still stand as a reminder of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Interiors too recall a bygone era, with a scheme that marries classic and contemporary as devised by Zagreb-and London-based practice Atellior. “We wanted to evoke the spirit of the golden age of Opatija in a modern context, using timeless materials in contemporary and fresh combinations,” say the studio’s founders Una Barac and Ante Marić, who took the lead on the project together with team members Tea Matija Pinjuh and Ljerka Kabelka. “The endless sea view of Kvarner Bay is visible from every corner of the hotel, so our interior colour schemes were inspired by the accents of sun-gold pouring over sea-blue, with highlights of green to represent the Mediterranean pine trees. Luxurious finishes, carefully chosen materials and bespoke furniture give fluidity to the contemporary yet timeless signature of our design.”
