Hotel Kvarner in Opatija can host conferences for up to 850 delegates, banquets for 450 and receptions for 800 standing guests. Its main room, the Crystal Hall, opens onto a sea-facing terrace, and 55 rooms and suites are available in the same building. The hotel stands on the Lungomare seafront in the Croatian resort town of Opatija.
Seminars and company events
The Crystal Hall measures 42 by 15.6 meters, about 655 square meters, with a ceiling height of 8.2 meters. Its stated capacities depend on the layout: 850 people in theatre style, 500 in classroom style, 450 at banquet tables and 800 for a cocktail reception. That range suits a regional sales conference, an association congress or a company gala that needs one large room and a place for breaks.
For board meetings, workshops and breakout groups the hotel offers the Yellow Room and two further small meeting rooms. An exhibition area can be set up for sponsors or product displays. Equipment and technical devices can be rented through the hotel.
Weddings and receptions
The Crystal Hall can be arranged for wedding receptions of about 400 guests. The terrace above the Lungomare holds 450 to 500 people for aperitifs and cocktails, so the ceremony drinks and the seated dinner can take place in two connected spaces. Wedding guests can use the hotel's 55 rooms and suites.
Rooms and capacities
The Yellow Room covers about 65 square meters, with a 4 meter ceiling. It takes 50 people in theatre or cocktail layout, 35 at banquet tables and 15 to 30 in classroom layout. The exhibition area and the two other small rooms are listed without figures, so ask for their dimensions when you plan breakout sessions.
Accommodation
The hotel has 55 rooms and suites, rated four stars. For a conference larger than that, delegates normally need to be spread across other Opatija hotels. Liburnia, the group that runs Hotel Kvarner, operates several hotels in the town, which makes a shared program across houses possible.
Catering
Banquet service covers business lunches and gala dinners. The restaurant Isadora serves fish and Mediterranean dishes, and the hotel also has an aperitif bar and a terrace. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are offered. Food and beverage packages and equipment are quoted separately.
History and setting
The hotel opened in 1884 and was designed by architect Wilhelm Franz in a historicist style. It is one of the early grand hotels of Opatija, which developed in the nineteenth century as a seaside health resort for the Austro-Hungarian elite. Today the building sits close to the Lungomare promenade and the town center.
Getting there
Opatija has no railway station. Rijeka is the nearest larger city and the usual gateway, with Rijeka airport on the island of Krk and Pula and Trieste as alternatives. Coach and taxi transfers from these points are easy to arrange for groups. The hotel address is Ulica Pava Tomašića 2, 51410 Opatija.
