FINAL GRADE: 4.97 THREE MEETING STARS ⭐⭐⭐ City Meeting Hotel
Certified: 2025
Are you familiar with the feeling when a novel world opens up behind a known facade? The architect Boris Podrecca is a master of designing transformations. Instead of creating a generic, neoclassic-style hotel colossus, he designed a hotel that reimagines the Mediterranean as it once was and heralds how it might look in the future. Hyatt Regency Zadar is a confident, recognisable property that represents the best of Hyatt. We hoped the hotel would highlight the story of Maraska more, but only fragments have remained of the original story. This may have been purposely excluded due to Hyatt’s company policy. It is a pity, as the building has exceptional cultural and industrial heritage that could be presented on the website and perhaps within the hotel itself.
Nonetheless, thanks to the holistic offering and splendid conference centre, this hotel is a space that will appeal to event organisers. Zadar now has a prime location for hosting top-tier incentives and conferences in the Adriatic, as long as they harmonise their service and curate a reasonable price policy during the off-season. In Croatia, many hotels have been raising prices to astronomical heights. In any case, event organisers opting for this hotel will get plenty of character and quality for their money. That is a relief for us – that some things remain the same in an ever-changing hotel landscape.

| SPECIALS | Never before have we lauded the lavatories in a hotel’s conference centre as an added feature. Yet, the lavish, though-out restrooms in Hyatt Regency Zadar are so rare they deserve special praise. We hope this concept inspires other hoteliers to follow suit. Given that every event attendee visits a restroom at least twice a day during an event, they should take notes from the Hyatt Regency Zadar. |
