"Zadar’s location on Croatia’s sparkling Dalmatian Coast could be reason alone to visit, but this ancient settlement is also teeming with more than 3,000 years of history. In the center of it all, Hotel Bastion bridges old and new. This boutique hotel is built within the remains of the ancient city walls, yet inside, it’s the very definition of contemporary European elegance. The rooms and suites are defined by a soothing color palette of soft gray and cool white, while handmade furnishings, teak floors, and modern comforts complete the picture. Dine in house at Kaštel, where Mediterranean and local cuisine takes center stage and the best tables are on the terrace." - Tablet Hotels
