Lobby bar

Need a convenient spot for morning coffee before meetings, or a comfortable place to unwind after exploring the city? The Lobby Bar offers quality coffee, fresh juices, and a pleasant atmosphere right in the hotel. No complicated plans, no hunting for cafes—just walk downstairs.

Morning Coffee Done Right

The Lobby Bar serves top quality coffee from 8 a.m., perfect for starting your day before business meetings or sightseeing. Whether you need a quick espresso to wake up or prefer sitting with a cappuccino while planning your day, the coffee here matches what you'd find at Zagreb's specialty cafes.

Fresh Juice Selection

Fresh juices provide a healthy alternative to endless cups of coffee. When you want something refreshing, especially during warm Zagreb days, fresh juice hits differently than packaged options. The freshness makes a real difference.

Part of Zagreb's Corporate Core

The Lobby Bar sits in the heart of Zagreb's business district. Business travelers appreciate the convenience—grab coffee before heading to meetings, or suggest meeting clients here rather than searching for neutral territory. The location eliminates logistical headaches.

Pleasant Ambience

The space combines comfort with the energy of a city-center hotel. You're not in a sterile corporate environment, but you're also not fighting for seats in a crowded tourist cafe. The atmosphere works for both business conversations and casual relaxation.

Convenient Hours

Open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with weekend hours from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Lobby Bar covers morning through afternoon needs. Whether you're an early riser who needs coffee at 8 or prefer a late morning start, the timing accommodates various schedules.

Afternoon Refreshments

The 4 p.m. closing means this isn't an evening cocktail destination—for that, you'll find other options nearby. The Lobby Bar focuses on daytime service: morning coffee, midday refreshments, and afternoon pick-me-ups.

What's On Offer

Drinks

Beyond coffee and fresh juices, the bar serves various beverages suited to different times of day. Morning coffee drinkers, afternoon tea fans, or those wanting something cool and refreshing—basic options covered without overwhelming choice.

Sweet Treats

Light sweets complement the drink menu. When you need a small something with your coffee or want a quick snack between meals, simple options exist without requiring a full cafe menu.

When the Lobby Bar Makes Sense

Before or After Meetings

Business travelers use the Lobby Bar strategically. Arrive early for your meeting and caffeinate properly. Finish your meeting and debrief over coffee before heading out. The convenience eliminates rushing around Zagreb hunting for suitable spots.

Morning Planning

Tourists appreciate having coffee readily available while figuring out daily plans. Spread out your map, check your phone for opening hours, and sip coffee without feeling pressured to vacate your room or venture out before you're ready.

Quick Refreshments

Sometimes you don't need a full restaurant meal—just a drink and maybe something small. The Lobby Bar handles these in-between moments without requiring you to leave the hotel or commit to formal dining.

Casual Meetings

Meeting friends or colleagues who are staying elsewhere? The Lobby Bar provides easy-to-find common ground. "Meet me at my hotel's lobby bar" removes navigation confusion and provides comfortable neutral space.

Compared to Going Out

The Convenience Factor

Zagreb has excellent cafes everywhere, but sometimes convenience trumps adventure. When you're tired from travel, pressed for time, or just want simple coffee without a production, the Lobby Bar eliminates decision fatigue.

Weather Doesn't Matter

Rain, cold, intense heat—inside the hotel, weather becomes irrelevant. You get your coffee or juice without getting soaked, frozen, or overheated in the process.

Not a Full Restaurant Experience

The Lobby Bar serves drinks and sweets, not full meals. For breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you'll use the hotel's restaurant or venture into Zagreb's dining scene. The Lobby Bar fills the gaps between meals rather than replacing them.

Terrace Seating

A terrace extends the Lobby Bar's appeal during pleasant weather. Enjoy your coffee while watching Zagreb's urban rhythm, feel the sun, and experience the city without fully committing to being out in it. The terrace bridges indoor comfort and outdoor atmosphere.

The Connection to Kavana Dubrovnik

The Lobby Bar operates "by Kavana Dubrovnik"—the hotel's famous cafe known for decades as a gathering spot for Zagreb's business and cultural figures. While the Lobby Bar is a separate, more casual space, the connection suggests attention to coffee quality and service standards.

Different Spaces, Same Building

Kavana Dubrovnik, built in art deco style, offers a more formal cafe experience with a rich history. The Lobby Bar provides convenient, casual service. Both exist in the same hotel, serving different purposes for different moments.

Making the Most of It

Morning Routine

Establish a morning routine that includes stopping by the Lobby Bar. Consistent coffee quality and familiar space create comfort, especially during multi-day stays. Routines reduce decision-making when you'd rather save mental energy.

Social Hub

The Lobby Bar naturally becomes a meeting point. Arrange to meet travel companions here before heading out together. It's easier than coordinating meeting spots across Zagreb.

Work-Friendly

If you need to handle emails or work tasks over coffee, the Lobby Bar accommodates this. You're in a hotel, so working over coffee feels completely natural rather than overstaying your welcome at a neighborhood cafe.

Realistic Expectations

This is a hotel lobby bar—pleasant, convenient, quality coffee and juice, but not an artisanal specialty coffee experience or craft cocktail destination. Set expectations appropriately. It serves its purpose well: accessible, reliable refreshments in a comfortable setting.

The Lobby Bar is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on weekends from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. These hours focus on morning through afternoon service. For evening drinks or cocktails, you'll need to explore other options either in the hotel or nearby in Zagreb's city center.

3. Is the Lobby Bar only for hotel guests, or can anyone visit?

While the Lobby Bar is part of the hotel, hotel lobby bars typically welcome non-guests as well, especially since it's positioned in Zagreb's corporate core.

The Lobby Bar operates "by Kavana Dubrovnik" but they're separate spaces. Kavana Dubrovnik is the hotel's historic art deco cafe with a formal atmosphere and rich cultural heritage.

5. Is the terrace available year-round, or only in good weather?
