Contemporary Adriatic hospitality with lush terraces and coastal restraint
Keight Hotel – the first Hilton Curio in Croatia is located in Opatija, known for its Art Nouveau architecture and history of spa tourism. With discreet tones and textures the building fits into the environment and ambiance of historical buildings.
Located in the center of the city, this modern hotel is an hommage to Opatija's tourist heritage, a place where guests are welcomed by a pleasant atmosphere and a feeling of returning home after a long journey. Keight Hotel is inspired by sailing, sea and travel.
The ground floor with a restaurant and bar is the central point of the hotel, a meeting place for hotel guests and residents of Opatija. The interior design of public spaces is inspired by the Opatija tradition of Viennese and Italian coffeehouses and the atmosphere of old maritime kitchens, which encourage communal dining and socializing. The reception and bar with covered loggias on one side are connected with the restaurant by an outdoor garden.
The extremely narrow plot, that stretches parallel to the city centre main access road demanded an unobtrusive volume - this was achieved with a specific room layout. The room floorplans are rotated by 90 degrees when compared to a standard hotel room - the longer side of the room is on the façade.
The accommodation units are a modern version of a ship's "staterooms", as first-class cabins on ships were traditionally called. With a refined color pallet, representing the colors of the sky and the sea in a storm, they draw the guest into a safe haven, protected from the forces of nature, with a view of the sea and two Opatija parks. The hotel features site specific artwork on every floor and in each room.
The rooftop sun deck with bar and infinity pool represents an escape into a dreamy world, a place for relaxed leisure time with a view of the Kvarner archipelago.
Wellness facilities with a 25-meter indoor pool are located in the basement of the hotel, where there is also a multipurpose space for meetings with a conference hall.
The horizontal and vertical structural elements of the facade, structured in a regular grid, are reminiscent of the facades of Opatija hotels and villas.
