Hotel Tomislavov
A mountain-hut hotel steps from the Sljeme summit
About this hotel
Hotel Tomislavov sits closer to a mountain hut than a city hotel, six minutes' walk from the Sljeme summit and three from Tomislavov dom, the hut sharing its name. Built in 1978 from stone and timber, the property has run on the same logic for decades: hikers and skiers come down off the ridge to an indoor pool, hot tub and sauna, followed by dinner at a casual restaurant rather than a formal dining room. Restoran Zlatni Medvjed sits six minutes away for guests wanting a change of scene. Free breakfast, free Wi-Fi and free parking keep costs predictable, and the pet-friendly policy suits travellers hiking with a dog along Medvednica's trails. It is a world away from Ban Jelačić Square in atmosphere, and that distance is the entire appeal.

Our take
Hotel Tomislavov suits hikers, skiers and anyone who wants their spa time to follow a day spent outside rather than a day of sightseeing or meetings. It suits fewer travellers who want to be near central Zagreb's museums and squares, since reaching them means a genuine trip down the mountain. Families and outdoor-focused couples get the most from the free parking, breakfast and pool combination.
- ✓Bring hiking or ski gear regardless of season, the hotel sits right at the trailhead and lift access.
- ✓Eat dinner at the hotel restaurant after a long day outside instead of heading back down to the city.
- ✓Use the sauna and hot tub in the evening, they're built for exactly that end-of-day routine.
