the kvarner (ex "quarnero" in austro-hungarian and italian times) is probably the jewel of opatija/abbazia hotels in terms of history and tradition. its location right on the sea next a lush, large public garden and along the sea-shore walking track is unbeatable. hotel was built in the 1880s and it shows from it magnificent architecture and from the wide and... more

For people used to 4- or 5-star hotels, I can see why they would be disappointed with Hotel Kvarner. It's true that the furnishings were a little worn and I did detect a small tear in the bedspread. But for those (like me) who rarely stay in luxury hotels, Hotel Kvarner was a total treat. There's not a lot of... more

I stayed at the Hotel Kvarner for one night. My room was somewhat over the hill -- faded wallpaper, tired lampshades, a creaky wooden floor -- but it was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom appears to have been remodeled sometime in the present century. I had a wonderful sea view from the balcony; didn't get a... more

Hotel Kvarner is on the seawall in a convenient location in Opatija and is in a very attractive setting. The views from the hotel are beautiful, as is the hotel exterior. The public areas weren’t bad, there were still some older ornate looking furnishings around the hotel. The rooms were fairly attractive, with a bit of a period look, though... more

This hotel was in the best location, right on the beach with private access to deck chairs. You feel like you are royalty staying in this hotel - it is grand and old. Our room was huge - the biggest of any hotel I have ever stayed in. It must have once been a parlour or lounge room or something.... more
