The Sheraton Zagreb is one of the city’s big full-service hotels, and its appeal is practical rather than romantic. It sits at Kneza Borne 2 in the Lower Town, a few minutes on foot from the shopping centre at Branimir, the Meštrović Pavilion and the green sweep of Zrinjevac park, and about eleven minutes from Ban Jelačić Square. The main railway station is roughly eight minutes away on foot, which makes it a convenient base for travellers arriving by train or heading out on day trips. The hotel has 306 rooms, an indoor pool and a full-service spa, and a choice of places to eat and drink, including Café Imperial, the Fontana restaurant, the King Tomislav restaurant and a piano bar. It is the kind of hotel that works well for business travellers and for leisure visitors who want a reliable, comfortable room with facilities, in a location from which almost everything in the centre is walkable. Rooms are modern and spacious in style, and the amenities allow a day of sightseeing to end with a swim.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in the Lower Town, close to the park squares of the Lenuci Horseshoe and on the tram network. Zrinjevac, where several day tours meet, is a six-minute walk away, so early starts are easy. Ban Jelačić Square is about eleven minutes on foot, and the Croatian National Theatre is a short walk further on. The airport is roughly half an hour away by car, and the airport shuttle bus serves the main bus station, from where trams run to the centre.
Facilities
The indoor pool and spa are the main selling points for anyone who likes to unwind after a day of sightseeing, and a fitness area is part of the package. Several restaurants and bars let you eat in without leaving the building. Covered self-parking is available for a daily charge, which is useful given how limited street parking is, and a daily breakfast buffet is offered at an additional cost, so compare rates with and without breakfast.
Who it suits
Families who want a pool and space, business travellers, rail passengers, couples who like a polished hotel and visitors planning a December break, since the park squares of the Lower Town host Advent stalls in the weeks before Christmas. Rates rise on Advent weekends and during congresses, while January and early spring usually offer the best value.
Good to know
The neighbourhood is more commercial than the Upper Town, so for cobbled streets and café terraces, expect to walk or take a tram. Ask for a higher floor for quieter rooms.
