Hotel Draga di Lovrana hosts intimate weddings of up to 70 guests and private celebrations in a boutique hotel on a cliff above the Kvarner Bay. It stands in Učka Nature Park above the town of Lovran, on the Kvarner coast of Croatia.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel presents itself as an exclusive location for a private party, a celebration or a romantic wedding. The wedding page sets the size at up to 70 guests, which suits a small, close circle rather than a large banquet. The terrace overlooks Učka mountain and the Kvarner Bay, and the ceremony can be held outdoors or in an indoor space in the hotel.
Partners of the hotel can take on the full planning: decoration, lighting, the menu and music. Requests go through the contact page, and the hotel team is reachable by phone on +385 51 294 166.
Rooms and capacities
The only capacity published is the 70 guests for weddings. The site gives no figures for the restaurant, the terrace or the indoor ceremony space, and it does not list a meeting room or a seminar layout. Ask the team how the terrace and the restaurant are laid out for your guest count and the season.
Accommodation
The four-star boutique hotel has seven double rooms, two spacious junior apartments and one suite, which makes 10 units in all. A wedding of 70 will therefore need nearby lodging for part of the group, or a smaller party if everyone stays on site. The hotel has an outdoor pool, and the site describes a fireplace atmosphere in winter and the pool in summer, with pine forests and aromatic herbs around the house.
Catering
The restaurant combines traditional and modern cuisine and is led by chef Hari Benić, whose cooking draws on the Kvarner coast, mountains and islands. The site names Kvarner scampi and fish from the hotel's own boats, Lovran chestnuts, asparagus, Pag cheese, Lovran cherries, honey, sheep's cheese from Učka and lamb from the islands. The wedding menu is set with the hotel and its partners. According to the site, the restaurant is open Friday to Sunday from 1 pm to 11 pm and closed Monday to Thursday, so confirm that an event date outside those days is possible.
History and setting
The house dates from 1908, when it was a luxury summer retreat of the Austro-Hungarian nobility. It was converted into a boutique hotel with carefully detailed interiors. Its position on the cliff gives panoramic views of the sea, the islands of Kvarner and the green slopes of Učka.

Lovran lies on the Kvarner coast of Croatia, below Učka Nature Park. The official site has a directions page, and the hotel can be reached on +385 51 294 166 or by email at info@dragadilovrana.hr for access details.
