Hotel Esplanade — Hotel in Grad Crikvenica

We stayed in the Boutique Hotel Esplanade in Crikvenica for 1-night in mid-Apr (€128). The hotel is located across from the beach at the north-west edge of town, a short walk down the pleasant promenade to the restaurants and bars of the main plaza on the small boat harbour.||Our superior seaside suite with balcony was in the historic part of the hotel, beautifully renovated with stylish, modern finishes. It had a large sitting area with a huge couch, chair, minibar and a large flat-screen TV, opening onto a large balcony with a table, chairs and a sea view (and a drying rack for swim suits). There was a mini-refrigerator for your cold drinks, and a plate of fresh cookies as a welcome gift. The bedroom was large, with a 4-post king bed with unusually comfortable pillows, side tables, 2 clothes racks (a nice touch), a large closet with a huge safe, and a second TV. The bedroom also had a smaller balcony with a sea view. The bathroom had a huge bathtub/shower, and a large vanity around the single sink.||The property was large, nicely maintained, with a restaurant/bar with outside patio seating, and a large pool with plenty of loungers. Parking on the property was €15, but was free on the tree-lined street out front. The hotel hosted an afternoon tea, and a pre-dinner schnapps tasting that was fun. Breakfast was superb, beginning with a multi-layer serving platter with fruits, cheeses, cold-cuts, followed by a large a la carte selection of hot foods that were stylishly plated and delivered to the table. ||Overall, the Esplanade is a beautifully renovated, stylish hotel in a location convenient to the beach, the main restaurants and bars, but sufficiently apart to be quiet and offer safe street parking. Throw in the friendly and helpful staff, what is not to like? Highly...

The Hotel is renovated and very clean. Our room was on the ground level with a terrace and garden. Living room and sleeping room are air conditioned, big and very quiet. Free Wi-Fi is available. Pool is beautiful, places to sit and relax inside (air con) and outside with sun shades. Location close to the beach (1min walk) but not loud. Also only 10min walk to the city Center with many bars and restaurants available. The staff is very friendly and speaks many languages. The downside is in my opinion the lack of staff with can lead to long waiting times for drinks from the pool bar or during breakfast. Some inconsistencies happened when we have ordered cocktails, sometimes good sometimes bad mixed, also the breakfast with was great over all was made differed on some days. The hotels offers evening entertainment but this is nowhere mentioned. Overall all pleased stay with room for...

Everything about our stay at the Esplanade Hotel was fantastic. The service was not only friendly but also exceptionally attentive and courteous—atrentive in every sense. The staff made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we arrived.

We were celebrating my partner’s birthday, and the hotel helped surprising my partner with a lovely cake and a bottle of Prosecco on the house. It was such a thoughtful gesture that added a personal touch to our experience.

Even our dog was treated like royalty! She was thrilled with the healthy treats she received at the reception—proof that the hotel truly cares about all its guests, furry ones included.

Highly recommended for anyone seeking a warm, elegant, and pet-friendly escape on the...
