The Westin Zagreb stands on Izidora Kršnjavoga street at the western edge of the Lower Town, in the part of the city where the museums and the theatre cluster. The Mimara Museum is about three minutes away on foot, the Botanical Garden and the Ethnographic Museum about five, and the Croatian National Theatre about the same, so the hotel suits travellers who plan to spend their days among galleries and parks. Ban Jelačić Square is roughly thirteen minutes away on foot, and Zagreb West station is of similar distance, with the main station a little further. The hotel has 349 rooms, an indoor pool and a spa with a sauna, steam room and Turkish bath, a fitness centre and a restaurant called Kaptol, which serves international and Croatian dishes, as well as a café and the Diana Bar. It is a polished, business-friendly property that also works for leisure travellers who value a good bed, a pool and calm. The tram network and the airport shuttle are accessible from nearby, but expect to take a short ride or a walk to reach the Upper Town.
Location and getting around
The hotel faces the green quarter of the Lower Town, and the Botanical Garden and the Lenuci Horseshoe parks are within a few minutes’ walk. The Mimara Museum, the Ethnographic Museum and the National Theatre are all close, so a museum day needs hardly any transport. Ban Jelačić Square is about thirteen minutes on foot, and the Upper Town is a further short climb or a ride on the funicular. The airport is about half an hour away by car.
Facilities
The indoor pool and the spa, with its sauna, steam room and Turkish bath, are the highlights for guests who want to relax after sightseeing. Self-parking is available on site for a daily fee, and a breakfast buffet is offered at an extra charge, so compare rates with and without breakfast. The Kaptol restaurant and the lobby bar mean that you can eat in comfortably on an evening when you do not want to go out.
Who it suits
Museum and theatre lovers, business travellers, couples who want a quiet, polished stay and families who value a pool. It is also a good option for a winter break, when the Botanical Garden and the parks are quiet and the Advent lights brighten the squares a short walk away. Rates rise around Advent weekends and conferences, and fall in January and early spring.
Good to know
The area is calmer in the evening than the main square, which is a plus for light sleepers and a minus if you want a lively street scene on the doorstep. For the café terraces of Tkalčićeva street, allow a short walk or a tram ride.
