Hotel Imperial in Opatija, as a tourist destination, embodies the history of the city. The hotel is located on the main street of Opatija, only a few steps from the main beach Slatina. This historic building was built in 1885., as the second hotel on the Adriatic coast, and was originally named after the Belgian and Austrian crown princess Stephanie. With its Art Nouveau architecture, the hotel has been a favorite destination for the aristocracy and nobility in the 19th century. Well-known guests such as Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph I. and writer James Joyce enjoyed the greatest luxury of the time, which included mineral baths and health treatments. The rooms for meetings and banquets, and the unique Golden Hall, have the ability to accommodate from 300 to 1000 people, which makes the hotel fully equipped for meetings, conferences and other business events.
