After finding its place in the country’s capital, Hilton is looking for further potential locations and opportunities along the Croatian coast for its Canopy hotels as Cappelli cites an investment in tourism for 2019.
As we reported yesterday, in a huge investment in tourism, Canopy by Hilton has found its way to the Croatian capital of Zagreb, but the search for possible hotel locations isn’t over for the highly respected hotel company yet.
As Marija Crnjak/Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 12th of November, 2018, the brand nurtures local culture, and this is Canopy by Hilton’s very first hotel in continental Europe. After the opening in Zagreb, such hotels in desirable European capitals are set to open, including London, Madrid, and Paris.
Hotel Canopy by Hilton, a massive eight million euros worth of investment by Hrvoje Pezić’s Zagreb City Hotels company, was opened on Monday in Zagreb’s Branimir Centre.
The lifestyle brand is, as stated, set to take numerous other European cities. It nurtures local culture, and domestic designers, including Studio Franić and Šekoranja, as well as Croatian furniture manufacturers, who are engaged in decorating the Zagreb hotel, as pointed out from Hilton.
In the hotel itself, you can find various pieces of Zagreb’s long history, from folklore to its rich scientific and industrial heritage, as well as some of the capital city’s typical traditional dishes presented in a new, modern way at the ReUnion restaurant.
The hotel boasts 151 rooms, a restaurant and bar, a fitness room, a retreat room, a transfer room and two meeting rooms.
”After DoubleTree, we’re opening Canopy, and we’re expecting the opening of Garden Inn next year. We’re exceptionally proud of this hotel and we’re happy to have had such good cooperation. Croatia is an extremely important market for Hilton. It has a wonderful coastline and we’re already looking to expand there and develop our hotels there, but the City of Zagreb is also of utmost importance because it’s growing, and we also want to participate in that,” stated Alan Mantin, Managing Director of Hilton for the development in southern Europe.
Tourism Minister Gari Cappelli emphasised that this investment with the world-renowned brand will contribute to the even better positioning of Zagreb as well as Croatia as a destination which boasts a high quality offer.
