We will be guests in the Adriatic coastal
town Opatija, Croatia. Opatija lies at the centre of the Kvarner
Riviera with the longest tradition of providing quality conference
venues in Croatia. Opatija’s very attractive geographic location,
lush green scenery and a pleasant climate (45° 20’ north
latitude) were some of the main reasons for its origins and the rapid development
of its tourism from the end of the 19th century. The venue – Grand Hotel 4 Opatijska Cvijeta – is
located in the very centre of Opatija and includes four
buildings that were named after Opatija’s best-known flowers. The
hotel has 223 rooms. The hotel also includes the large Tamaris
congress centre, which has 7 multi-functional halls and the latest
congress equipment.
