Esplanade Zagreb Hotel

We couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Esplanade Zagreb Hotel for our event. Everyone - from the bellboys to the management team - was incredibly helpful, professional, and kind in accommodating all of our needs. The hotel consistently delivers exceptional service, and we look forward to returning again.

My stay at the Hotel Esplanade was outstanding. The service is top-notch and the room are very comfortable and very clean. I had breakfast every morning in Zinfandel, where there is a choice between a buffet and the menu. I had dinner one evening in Le Bistro. The amberjack was delicious and nicely presented. A special thanks to concierge Bono, who arranged a day trip for me to Slovenia. All in all this is a very special hotel that was one of the highlights of my recent trip to Croatia.

Terrific upscale hotel on the edge of Zagreb's historic downtown district. A few blocks from the restaurants, businesses and shops of the old town. The Esplanade is a century years old and has been refurbished several times, so it is in lovely shape with a 1920s art-deco design. Rooms are large and luxurious, wifi is good, staff is attentive and professional. Breakfast buffet is excellent. Parking in the area is tight, but there is valet service at the hotel We realize the property is scheduled for another refurbishment in the next few years, and would suggest the designers rethink the odd open-style bathrooms in the rooms -- bathrooms with no doors and little privacy were not our favorites. The only other issue was the crazy prices at the lobby bar, which is nice, but a small snack and a couple of drinks can easily run to $50 or more, which is crazy even for a luxury hotel. Overall a terrific hotel in a great location, we would stay there again.

Beautiful hotel in a great location, excellent staff/colleagues, and the foods really good. Everyone very helpful, and a breakfast to die for.

As you enter the Esplanade, the sense of history and grandeur is almost overwhelming. From the very tall ceilings to the Deco world clocks, the spectacular metal grill work and staircase, the place oozes elegance and presence and history. Unfortunately, once you get to the room floors, “history” translates to old and tired. Carpets in the dramatically spacious elevator lobbies were threadbare in some areas and could not hide all stains. The same was true in the rooms, where other signs of wear and tear were obvious and unavoidable. Thus, while the rooms were spacious, very comfortable (including the bed which did not show any signs of afind) and very nicely appointed, they definitely could use some refreshing. Food was good but certainly not outstanding or particularly memorable. Service was reasonable. The hotel has a fitness center which was, relative to many European hotels, spacious and very well equipped. That said, I would stay here again. It was a beautiful hotel that really harkens back to a more genteel time and, relative to price, a decent value.
