About Almayer Art & Heritage Hotel

The Almayer Art & Heritage Hotel is a charming 4 star boutique hotel situated in the historic core of Zadar. The hotel features nine exclusive double rooms, an art gallery, a wine bar and a leafy secret garden in the main building, with the addition of four stylish double rooms in a nearby annexe. Surrounded by lush green park and protected cultural monuments that are symbols of this three thousand years old city, the hotel is perfectly located adjacent to the city landmarks - Roman Forum, sea, coastal boardwalk and famous architectural installations - Sea Organ and Greeting to the Sun.

Fully reconstructed and opened as a hotel in 2017, the original building dates back to 1863. In order to preserve the historic appearance and spirit of the old building, the comprehensive exterior renovation of the complex was meticulously done. The new interior of the hotel and annex rooms, designed by the owners and the acclaimed designer Boris Ružić, is visually lavish, eclectic and filled with the cosmopolitan spirit of the Mediterranean.
