Hotel Park

Hotel Park details

This well-dressed place offers up a pretty mix of sleek interiors and sea views.

This hotel is all about location. It backs on to leafy parkland, so you’ve got scenic walks and cycle paths on the doorstep. Directly opposite is a marina, with sea views that stretch out past the island of St Katarina. And there’s a promenade that runs along the harbour to Rovinj’s old town. It takes about 15 minutes to walk, with lots of little shops, patisseries and restaurants on the way.

Style-wise, the hotel is modern and fresh, with plenty of glass worked into the design to make the most of the views. In the lobby, light bounces off mirrored panels, stainless steel fittings and polished marble floors. The restaurant has windows all round, so it’s bright and airy, too. It’s a mix of crisp white table linen and chunky, chocolate-wood furniture. The bedrooms, meanwhile, are kitted out in coastal colours, with light yellow walls and sky-blue soft furnishings.

Outside, there’s a good-sized pool with a sunny terrace overlooking the harbour. There’s another pool inside, and if you’d rather swim in the sea, the waters here are clear and warm. Just remember to pack a pair of reef shoes to climb out along the rocky shore.

On the food front, meals are served up buffet-style. The hotel restaurant offers up some of the best views of the harbour. You can take your breakfast out on the terrace, and in the evening there’s show cooking - so you can watch as your dinner’s freshly made.
