Zagreb among Croatia’s top advertisers: four IdejaX awards at the Days od Communication
Zagreb's Esplanade Hotel has been included on the prestigious international platform 50 Best Discovery, a carefully curated collection of recommendations for the finest restaurants, bars, hotels and wineries from around the world, developed by The World's 50 Best organisation.
In the platform's latest expansion, more than 650 new locations from across the globe have been added, including over 130 hotels, bringing 50 Best Discovery to more than 3,500 carefully selected establishments in over 800 cities and towns worldwide.
The inclusion of the historic Esplanade Zagreb Hotel represents another significant international recognition of excellence in Croatian hospitality and confirms its long-standing reputation as one of the most respected historic and luxury hotels in the region.
Unlike numerous travel platforms, hotels cannot apply to be listed on 50 Best Discovery. Every establishment is selected based on the votes of members of international expert academies comprising more than 3,000 leading connoisseurs of the global restaurant, bar, hotel and wine scene. The platform serves as an extension of the renowned selections The World's 50 Best Restaurants, The World's 50 Best Bars, The World's 50 Best Hotels and other global lists; however, it is not a ranking list in itself, but an exclusive guide to top-tier destinations and experiences.
Situated in the very heart of Zagreb, the Esplanade Hotel has been a symbol of elegance, supreme hospitality and timeless charm for over a hundred years. Built in 1925 for passengers of the legendary Orient Express, the hotel continues to blend rich historic heritage with top-quality service, modern luxury and authentic gastronomic experiences today. Thanks to its distinctive architecture, elegant interior, award-winning gastronomy, top-notch service and unique atmosphere, the Esplanade remains an indispensable address for travellers from all over the world.
"It is a great honour for me that Esplanade Zagreb has been recognised and included on the 50 Best Discovery platform. This recognition is a testament to the dedication of our team, who nurture the tradition of excellence, authentic hospitality and signature service every day. I am particularly pleased that Zagreb and Croatia are positioning themselves ever more strongly among the world's most desirable destinations through international platforms such as this," stated Ivica Max Krizmanić, General Manager of the Esplanade Zagreb Hotel.
The 50 Best Discovery platform is intended for travellers, culinary enthusiasts and lovers of premium experiences seeking verified recommendations for the best places to stay, dine and enjoy. Through the recommendations of international experts, it presents exceptional hotels, restaurants, bars and wineries – ranging from well-known icons to hidden gems worth discovering.

In recent years, Zagreb's Esplanade Hotel has achieved a series of international recognitions, including a MICHELIN Key and numerous accolades from leading global travel and hotel associations. Its inclusion on the 50 Best Discovery platform further confirms the hotel's status as one of the premier hotel addresses in this part of Europe.
"We are exceptionally proud that the Esplanade Hotel has been included on the 50 Best Discovery platform. This international recognition confirms that quality, authenticity and outstanding hospitality always find their way to a global audience. Since its opening in 1925, the Esplanade has been much more than a hotel – it is a hospitality institution, a meeting place for global travellers, statesmen, artists and visionaries, as well as one of the symbols of Zagreb. Today, more than a century later, we continue to build that reputation thanks to the dedication of our employees, who provide service at the highest level to every guest. We are especially pleased that the international expert community has recognized the value of what we create day in and day out, and that the Esplanade continues to count among the most prestigious hotels, not only in Croatia and the region, but also on the international hotel scene," concluded representatives of the Esplanade Hotel.
