Hotel Dubrovnik in Zagreb history

Before the hotel

Around 100 years ago, Zagreb was a very small city, emerging into a bigger city. Our city was built and designed by big European architects and we are grateful to those sculptors that gave their art to Zagreb. In 1829, the construction of Pavle Hatz’s house had finished – he was a merchant and a respectable citizen and mayor of Zagreb from 1872 - 1873. There was a big café that was located on the first floor of his house. After exactly 100 years, in 1929 the café was torn down and a hotel was built and named by the merchant named Milinov. In 1942 the whole place was remodeled once again. The hotel was named Hotel Dubrovnik after it was bought out. It was bought by business owners located in the city of Dubrovnik and the café was renamed “Café Dubrovnik”. From that day on, the hotel and café are located on the same position, filled with tradition and true hospitality values. We hope you enjoyed a short story of Hotel Dubrovnik in Zagreb history.
