Discover the Fascinating History of Hotel Miramar

Welcome to Hotel Miramar, a place where rich history and contemporary luxury meet on the enchanting Adriatic coast. Once a hidden gem of Opatija, this timeless retreat has captivated travelers from around the world for more than a century. Originally known as Villa Meyne and later as Villa Neptune, Miramar today proudly continues a legacy of elegance, refinement, and exceptional hospitality.

A Legacy of Timeless Elegance
From its very beginnings, Hotel Miramar has been a symbol of sophistication and beauty. While times have changed, the spirit of this remarkable property has remained unchanged. Its sumptuous architecture, carefully preserved details, and warm, understated atmosphere create an ambiance in which relaxation, indulgence, and classic charm naturally intertwine. Every space within the hotel tells a story of bygone eras while offering the comfort and standards of modern luxury.

A Rich History: From Villa Meyne to Hotel Miramar
Villa Meyne is the work of the distinguished Austro-Czech architect Adolf Tichy and was built by the Rijeka-based company Carlo Conighi. Situated directly on the shores of the Kvarner Bay, the villa was conceived from the outset as an elegant guest residence, attracting travelers from across Europe and offering them a refined seaside retreat.
In 1908, the villa came into the ownership of Baroness Horvath and the Migl family, when it was given a new name—Villa Neptune. During this period, it acquired distinctive architectural elements reminiscent of Miramare Castle in Trieste, reinforcing its status as an iconic motif on Opatija’s postcards. Over the decades, the villa has remained a symbol of exclusivity and outstanding hospitality, welcoming numerous distinguished guests in search of discreet luxury and exceptional service.
