If you’re planning a trip to the stunning Adriatic coast of Croatia, allow me to introduce you to the Lone Hotel by Maistra Collection in Rovinj. Recently, I had the pleasure of staying at this spectacular property during a conference, and I couldn’t wait to share my experience with you. Whether you’re visiting for business or leisure, this design-forward hotel promises a blend of luxury, comfort, and unforgettable views.
Why the Lone Hotel?
Nestled along the coastline of Rovinj, the Lone Hotel is a true architectural gem. Its distinctive design features a curved structure that embraces the natural landscape and offers glimpses of the Adriatic Sea. Pro tip: ask for a sea view room! Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the hotel boasts an ideal location just steps from the beach and a short 15 minute walk along the water from the charming town center of Rovinj. This makes it perfect for exploring local attractions while enjoying a peaceful retreat.
Room Overview
I stayed in Room 429, and let me tell you, it felt more like a chic studio apartment than a standard hotel room. Here’s what I loved about it:
- Spacious Design: The room was enormous, featuring a king-sized bed with a stylish tapestry-lit backdrop, two lounge chairs, and a well-equipped desk area.
- Modern Amenities: From smart lighting controls to plenty of EU plugs and a large TV, the room felt incredibly modern and well thought out.
- Bathroom Bliss: The bathroom was a showstopper, with a freestanding tub, a rainfall shower, and luxurious Malin+Goetz toiletries. A double sink setup and thoughtful extras like cotton rounds, Q-tips, and a vanity set made it extra special.
- Balcony: While my view wasn’t directly of the water, I could still soak in the tranquil landscape and appreciate the hotel’s unique architecture from my private terrace.
Amenities and Facilities
The Lone Hotel truly shines with its amenities. Here are some highlights:
- Spa & Fitness Center: The spa is an oasis of relaxation, with cozy lounge areas, heated pools, and a sauna. The gym is impressively equipped with everything from foam rollers to cardio machines—perfect for staying active while traveling.
- Dining: Breakfast was a daily delight, featuring a vast spread of fresh fruits, cheeses, olives, and eggs cooked to order. I couldn’t resist the local cured meats and freshly baked bread. Lunch options and desserts were equally impressive.
- Beach Access: A short stroll from the hotel leads you to the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea. Visiting in April, I had the beach mostly to myself, and the serenity was unmatched.
Exploring Rovinj
The hotel’s proximity to Rovinj’s old town is another major perk. Within minutes, you can wander cobblestone streets, admire the colorful architecture, and enjoy the local cafes and gelato shops. It’s a magical place to spend an afternoon or evening. I’ll do a dedicated blog post on Rovinj, so make sure you subscribe to email updates if you don’t want to miss it!
Final Thoughts
Would I stay at the Lone Hotel again? Absolutely. This stunning property combines thoughtful design, outstanding amenities, and a perfect location. Whether you’re attending a conference, as I was, or simply looking for a luxurious getaway, the Lone Hotel will not disappoint.
