Grand Park Hotel Rovinj by Maistra

Grand Park Hotel Rovinj by Maistra

At the ACI Marina next door, boats up to 35 metres tie up within walking distance of the lobby, and the Lungo Mare Plaza carries guests past design shops and delis all the way into Rovinj's old town, itself just a kilometre from the door. The hotel's cascading terraces are built into the hillside so thoroughly that from the water it reads as another shade of green, an effect credited to Studio 3LHD, the same firm behind neighbouring Lone and Adriatic, with interiors by Milan's Lissoni Associati. Inside, six levels connected by seven lifts hold 209 rooms and suites, six restaurants, and 3500 square metres of spa and wellness space wrapped around three pools, one of them indoors. Rooms run from a compact 420-square-foot Deluxe King with sea views to an 840-square-foot Connecting Quadruple built for two adults and two children sharing. A library, a diving club, and a gym cover the quieter and more active ends of a stay, while a playroom, a kids' club, and family rooms handle the youngest guests; a pet deposit and pet fee apply for anyone bringing a dog. Staff move between English, German, Italian, and Turkish, useful given the mix of yacht owners, conference delegates using the business center, and families booked into the Standard Family Room. Couples chasing quiet won't find it in the family wing, and travelers wanting a walkable old-town address rather than a resort compound should look closer to the centre. For anyone arriving by water, though, or wanting the marina view with the old town still in reach on foot, this is the address on this stretch of coast built for exactly that. A hotel built into a hillside beside Rovinj's marina, with 209 rooms, three pools, and its own diving club, a kilometre from the old town. Families get a kids' club and playroom; couples wanting quiet should book elsewhere in the wing. Boats up to 35 metres dock next door.
