History

The hotel building was built in 1975 and opened as InterContinental Zagreb, when the InterContinental Hotels chain moved from the Hotel Esplanade Inter-Continental (now Esplanade Zagreb Hotel) into a new building. The InterContinental chain left during the 1990s, when the hotel was taken over by entrepreneur Ivica Todorić. He changed the name to Opera, after the name of the restaurant that was then located on the last floor of the hotel. In 2002, the hotel was taken over by the hospitality-touristic company HUP Zagreb, and the hotel opened as The Westin Zagreb. It is the flagship property of the Westin Hotels & Resorts brand, owned by Marriott International. [2]
