We included Opatija in our trip to Istria due to lovely descriptions in travel books. The Hotel Kvarner has lots of history, and I would recommend both a trip to Opatija and this hotel. We debated for quite a while between this hotel and another across the street from the sea, and are so happy that we chose this one. Early morning swimming in the sea, apart from the crowds at the public swimming area, were peaceful and lovely. Breakfast on the beautiful patio was a treat, and of course evening drinks there were equally as beautiful. The grounds are pleasant, and the hotel is central for walking through nearby gardens and getting to shops and restaurants. There is on-site parking, but only enough for half of the guests. Garage Slatina is just down the street if needed, and really not an inconvenience. The staff could not have been more kind. There is send-out laundry service, but no self-service laundry facilities. Some areas were a little outdated, but honestly that was part of the charm. We wish we'd had more time here. Give yourself enough time to relax and enjoy!
