Stay in Central Zagreb
FOLLOW! 
You can't beat the convenience of staying in central Zagreb. Everything is within reach, from museums and restaurants to top sights and nightlife. By "central Zagreb", I mean the old town of Upper Zagreb to the Lower Town on either side of Zrinjevac park. Further south is the train station. (See more about staying near the train station).
There are many more hotels in the Lower Town mainly because the stately century-old buildings towering over wide boulevards can provide luxury digs with a view. Budget travellers should scroll down and check out some fantastic hostels (some with private rooms) that have become showpieces for international design. Not to worry about street noise; soundproofing is good in all the recommended hotels.
Stay in Lower Town
Hotel Premier
*****
Zagreb's newest five-star palace opened at the end of 1917 and it's already making waves. Located in a majestic early 20th-century Viennese Secession building, a €10 million investment transformed it into a small luxury boutique hotel replete with marble, soft textiles and a spa that offers Turkish and Finnish saunas, fitness and tea treatments. Of the 62 luxuriously-furnished rooms, high rollers should head for the Penthouse Presidential apartment. The dining experience is handled by Michelin-star chef, Stefano Cosattini. BOOK NOW
