Zadar Boosted By Arrival of Hyatt and Hilton Hotels

Zadar and its nearby island of Ugljan have welcomed two new hotels: Hyatt Regency Zadar and Hotel Preko Ugljan, a Curio Collection by Hilton property.

The opening of Hyatt Regency Zadar, marks the brand’s debut in Croatia.

Located a short walk from Zadar’s UNESCO-listed Old Town, Hyatt Regency Zadar offers an enriching and inspiring setting for curious travelers exploring local attractions and is housed in the former Maraska factory, a landmark symbol of the city’s tradition of cherry liqueur production.

At walking distant from iconic attractions like the Roman Forum and St. Donatus’ church, the hotel is the perfect base for both leisure and business travelers.

The hotel’s 133 well-appointed guestrooms and suites showcase Zadar’s renowned sunset, combining shades of yellow, gold, and orange with turquoise and emerald from the Adriatic Sea.

Guests can unwind at Lavanda Spa, which features heated indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna, steam room, hammam, hot tubs, and treatment rooms. Highlights include the Maraška body ritual, inspired by Zadar’s cherries.

With more than 740 square meters of flexible event space, Hyatt Regency Zadar provides an ample range of spaces to connect and celebrate.

“I am delighted to welcome new and returning Hyatt guests to our first Hyatt-branded hotel in Croatia,” said Valentin Roettger, General Manager, Hyatt Regency Zadar. “Travelers across Europe and beyond are drawn to Croatia’s Adriatic coast to experience beautiful beaches, historic architecture and unforgettable sunsets, and Hyatt Regency Zadar is the ideal base for guests to find effortless relaxation and unforgettable celebrations.”
