AMADRIA PARK HOTEL MILENIJ

Opatija has long been a sanctuary for the elite and the Austro-Hungarian aristocracy, drawn by its mild climate, crystal-clear waters, and healing sea air. Among its most illustrious guests were Emperor Franz Joseph I and his wife, Empress Sissi. Legend has it that she considered what is now the Amadria Park Hotel Milenij her favorite retreat in this fairytale coastal town.

Perched along the iconic Lungomare promenade, this 5-star business & leisure hotel seamlessly blends old-world Mediterranean charm with contemporary luxury. While the elegant rooms offer breathtaking views of Kvarner Bay, the hotel’s true highlights are its themed suites. The Sissi & Franz Joseph, Isadora Duncan & Sergei Yesenin, and Alma & Gustav Mahler suites are all designed to evoke the legacy of the famous figures who once graced these halls.

Inspired by Empress Sissi’s legendary devotion to beauty and longevity, Milenij Spa was established as the very first wellness center in Croatia. It remains a haven for rejuvenation, featuring Turkish, Finnish, and salt saunas, a pool with a jacuzzi, and massage rooms with panoramic views. Using premium Algotherm products, the spa offers a holistic approach to balancing mind and body.

The experience continues on the hotel’s terrace, the most famous in the region. It conects Café Wagner, renowned for its decadent breakfasts and handmade choco pralines and cakes from Milenij Choco World, and Restaurant Argonauti, set in a magnificent former ballroom decorated with frescoes from 1924 by Karl Ludwig Hassmann. The restaurant specializes in regional gourmet highlights, including fresh local fish, Kvarner scampi, and world-class Istrian white truffles.
