Amadria Park Hotel Sveti Jakov
This luxurious 1886 villa was the long-term home of well-known Viennese doctor and scientist Julius Glax, the founder of thalassotherapy in Opatija and a founder of the town’s health resort tourism. Now operated as boutique hotel Sveti Jakov, guests will find the period-style character and authenticity of the villa blended with modern amenities and facilities.
All 26 rooms in this well-located hotel have been thoroughly modernized, featuring luxurious gold-toned decor, crystal chandeliers, and well-appointed bathrooms. Higher categories have expansive terraces with in-room Jacuzzis.
The hotel restaurant highlights regional cuisine, with a focus on local, freshly-caught seafood from Kvarner Bay. The intimate dining space has a fine terraced view of St James Park.
