Falkensteiner takes over management of Austria’s largest thermal resort Loipersdorf
Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts, one of the premium brands of the global hospitality group Accor, known for its hospitality, relaxed atmosphere and premium gastronomic experiences, continues to expand its international portfolio with new hotels in Croatia, Montenegro, Uzbekistan and Armenia. These hotels represent a continuation of the brand’s robust growth, following recent openings in Poland, Greece and Italy, and ahead of its planned entry into the United Kingdom market in 2027.
Founded in 1948, Mövenpick began as a pioneering Swiss restaurant brand and grew into an international hotel brand where food and beverage are at the core of the guest experience. Today, this heritage is reflected in more than 140 hotels worldwide, where premium service, inviting spaces and a rich gastronomic offering bring people together.
The second Mövenpick in Croatia
Located near Novi Vinodolski, Mövenpick Hotel & Residences Kvarner Bay is scheduled to open its doors in July 2026. The new hotel will feature the 14,000-square-metre Salterra Wellness & Spa, which will be the largest wellness centre in Croatia, offering a rich choice of treatments, heated indoor seawater pools, saunas and a Turkish hammam. The opening of Salterra Wellness & Spa is expected by the end of the year. Families will be able to enjoy the Sea Breeze pool park and the Little Birds Club.
This upcoming opening further strengthens the brand’s presence in Croatia, following Mövenpick Zagreb, which opened in June 2022 in Buzin, the capital's business district, featuring 104 rooms and suites alongside smart technology.
The hotel in Novi Vinodolski will feature 198 modernly designed rooms and suites, most of which will have private balconies overlooking the sea and the island of Krk. The hotel will house the Figo restaurant, which will offer Mediterranean dishes prepared with local ingredients and olive oil from the resort’s own olive groves, and Affamata, featuring southern Italian classics in a sharing format. Guests will also be able to enjoy premium coffee in a panoramic lounge bar with a 180° view or visit the Fjaka Beach Bar, inspired by the concept of "fjaka" (the art of doing nothing).
