4-star hotels in Rijeka

Staying in Rijeka

Rijeka is not a polished resort town but a lived-in port city with Austro-Hungarian architecture, a lively cultural scene and the Korzo as its main pedestrian street lined with cafes and shops. Above the city, Trsat Castle looks out over the bay and the islands of Krk and Cres, and the January or February carnival is one of the largest in Croatia. The city works well as a base for the Kvarner region, including Opatija, the islands and the mountains of Gorski Kotar.

Most of these 4-star hotels and apartments sit in or near the centre: Old Town Inn on Ulica Pod Voltun, Luxury Number 1 Apartments on Kapucinske Stube, Hotel Bonavia Plava Laguna on Dolac and Central Rijeka Hotel Apartments on Ciottina Ulica are all within roughly half a kilometre of the centre, with Delta Rooms and Apartmani Tower slightly further out. Hotel Jadran is on the coast at Šetalište XIII Divizije, while Apartment Sofia, Apartments Croatia, Preelook Apartments and Rooms and Holiday Home Matea lie further west or east. It suits couples and short-break visitors who want to walk to the sights, families needing family rooms and parking, and business travellers using the meeting and business facilities of the larger hotels.
