In early October 2023, Zagreb welcomed its first Art'otel, adding a touch of sophistication and creativity to the city's vibrant hospitality scene. The Art'otel in Zagreb is the fifth of its kind in Europe under the renowned Art'otel brand, known for its unique fusion of contemporary architecture and artistically inspired interiors. This innovative hotel concept, where exceptional architectural style meets curated artistry, has already gained popularity in cosmopolitan centers across Europe.

‍
Located in a historic residential building transformed into an exclusive space, the Art'otel Zagreb distinguishes itself not only through its modern design but also by featuring the works of the late Boris Bućan, one of the most significant contemporary visual artists. With over eighty solo exhibitions and participation in more than 160 group exhibitions worldwide, Bućan's artistry has left an indelible mark on the global art scene. His paintings, posters, and graphics have graced prestigious events such as the Venice Biennale, the Sao Paulo Biennale, the Milan Triennial, and the "World Goes Pop" exhibition at the Tate Modern gallery in London. Notably, 24 of Bućan's pieces are housed in the iconic Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, with three displayed as part of the museum's permanent collection.

Artistic Finesse and Timeless Design

The interiors of Art'otel Zagreb are a canvas of creativity, showcasing Boris Bućan's distinctive artistic style. Original artworks, curated specifically for the hotel, adorn the walls, transforming each space into a living gallery. The synergy between the architecture and artistry creates a visually stunning environment, where every corner tells a unique story.

The design philosophy of the hotel revolves around achieving a timeless elegance that transcends trends. The use of neutral tones, complemented by strategic pops of color inspired by Bućan's palette, creates a serene and welcoming ambiance. Thoughtful lighting design further enhances the visual appeal, casting a warm glow that accentuates the art pieces and architectural details.

The 110 rooms, including five opulent suites, exude an air of understated luxury. Bespoke furnishings, sumptuous fabrics, and carefully chosen decor elements come together to create an inviting retreat for guests. Each room is a sanctuary of comfort, with attention to detail evident in every aspect of the design.

Beyond the captivating accommodations, the Art'otel offers a Wellness & Spa Zone featuring two saunas, experience showers, two treatment rooms, a relaxation area, a fitness room equipped with TechnoGym equipment,  and an indoor pool. Additionally, the hotel provides four creative meeting spaces with a capacity of 10 to 20 people, making it an ideal destination for both leisure and business travelers. 

The culinary experience at Art'otel Zagreb is set to be equally impressive. The hotel features the Pan-Asian restaurant Yezi, headed by Executive Chef Dino Knežević (formerly of Nobilion and Ikador) and dim sum chef Tom Tian Hau Low. Combining traditional Eastern flavors with innovative culinary techniques, the restaurant offers a menu that truly stands out. Guests can choose from the à la carte menu or indulge in unique treats at the tea house and pastry shop. For those seeking a panoramic view of the city, the rooftop bar will undoubtedly become a favorite spot in Zagreb, providing an ideal setting to enjoy cocktails and breathtaking sunsets.
