The recovery phase of the tourism sector will undoubtedly be accelerated as the new resort is expected to attract both domestic and international visitors.
Mayor of Rijeka Marko Filipović expressed his delight with the development, noting that the Hilton resort acts as proof of Rijeka’s potential: “The potential of Rijeka has been recognised by other investors – many international companies are present here and investments in tourism are ubiquitous, from investments in the marina in Porto Baroš to the announced further investments of JTH Holding. The pinnacle of investment in tourism is today’s opening of the Hilton on the Costabella.”
Tourists of the city and the Opatija Riviera will now be able to stay at a brand new, modern resort that offers 132 rooms as well as 62 villas and apartments. What is more, all rooms of the hotel have a sea view.
