The Historic Villa of Hotel Milenij
The historic villa of Hotel Milenij was created in 1908 by expanding the existing structure according to the design of the renowned architect Carlo Seidl. His work, published in 1910 in the famous Viennese magazine Der Architekt, confirms the success of the project and highlights the villa as an excellent example of construction in Opatija.
Seidl particularly excelled in adapting the building to the beautiful landscape of the Opatija Riviera, creating harmony between architecture and nature.
The final phase of the hotel’s construction was completed in 1924 with the addition of a ballroom, which today serves as the Argonauti restaurant. The walls of the ballroom were decorated by Viennese painter Karl Ludwig Hassman, who used themes from Greek mythology. These unique frescoes still remind visitors of the famous legend of the Argonauts connected to the Kvarner Bay.
