June the 19th, 2024 – The revered Hilton brand has arrived in Croatia’s “First Lady of Tourism”. The brand new Keight Hotel Opatija will soon open its doors.
As Poslovni Dnevnik/VL/Radmila Kovacevic writes, for its 180th birthday, Opatija tourism is getting a new high-end category, under a sound brand. On Thursday, the 5* Keight Hotel Opatija, Curio Collection by Hilton, is set to open boasting an impressive 54 rooms.
The investment of the leading Croatian cruise company, Katarina Line, exceeded a massive 20 million euros. The brand new Keight Hotel Opatija will be managed by Zagreb City Hotels, which successfully manages three Hilton hotels in Croatia: Canopy by Hilton Zagreb City Centre, DoubleTree by Hilton Zagreb and Hilton Garden Inn Zagreb.
The new Opatija hotel, with its beautiful, modern, elegant design of clean lines, is inspired by sailing, the sea and travelling. It’s a proverbial crown of sorts of the career of the owner of the wildly successful Katarina Line, Katarina Hauptfeld. At the same time, Keight Hotel Opatija also pays homage to Opatija’s rich tourist heritage.
“We are delighted to be working with Hilton and that we’re able to introduce the Curio Collection by Hilton brand to the Croatian market. The rich history of Opatija as the cradle of Croatian tourism makes it an ideal location for travellers throughout the year,” stated the director of the new hotel, Davor Kovčalija.
The first guests of the new Keight Hotel Opatija are set to arrive this very week. In addition to classic tourists, the hosts also expect business visitors. The rooms are adapted to the needs of businesspeople, and the hotel has, among other things, a multipurpose space for meetings spanning one hundred square metres. In addition to the pool on the hotel’s roof, guests will have full access to a 25-meter indoor pool, the largest in all of Opatija.
