Grand Park Hotel, Croatia Hotel

Rovinj, Croatia

Sweeping sea views, heritage-rich cities and first-rate fare: Grand Park Hotel harbours the holy trinity of a Mediterranean escape. Situated on the Istrian Coast, you’re spoilt for choice of picture-perfect views, with the six-floor hotel boasting vistas across the azure Adriatic Sea, the yacht-docked marina and historic Rovinj Old Town. Studio 3LHD and Piero Lissoni masterminded the design, using unpolished wood and glass and cascading layouts that blends into the surrounding age-old forest. Romantic backdrop established, it’s time to tap into superlative Istrian produce – fine seafood, peppery olive oil and minerally wine – at the hotel’s six restaurants and bar, including two-Michelin-starred Agli Amici Rovinj and Michelin-listed Cap Aureo. Those seeking wellness are well catered for, with three pools, including a rooftop infinity version, a thermal zone and signature treatments.

Doubles from £192.
