A modern lobby – an investment that improves guests’ first impression

This year, Hotel Pinija welcomes its guests in a modern lobby that combines elegance, functionality and a Mediterranean atmosphere.

Reception

The new reception and spacious entrance area with an elegant living room are the result of collaboration with renowned interior designer Edita Geci (Studio Exclusive Design).

The combination of natural materials, warm colors, and contemporary details has created a space where guests feel comfortable and welcome from the first moment.

The new lobby is dominated by a Mediterranean spirit, permeated with light and the scent of pine trees. Special attention has been paid to comfort for families with children, couples, and individual guests.

With more seating areas, relaxation areas, and improved guest flow, the lobby is now the focal point of the hotel experience.

This investment is part of the broader strategy of Hotel Pinija, which includes continuously improving the quality of accommodation and service to create the best family vacation in Zadar.

The emphasis is on authentic hospitality, peace, nature, and amenities adapted to all generations.
