Our take
OPERA opened in 2025 at Dolac 11b, about a minute's walk from the Korzo, Rijeka's main pedestrian street, and three minutes from the Maritime and History Museum. Despite that central address it has an outdoor pool, a gym, a rooftop terrace and a restaurant with a bar. Rooms range from a studio to a presidential suite, all facing the city. Pets are allowed. I would book it for a city break or the evening before a ferry to the islands. Parking costs extra, and the guest score of 9.1 rests on 231 reviews of a hotel still new.
- ✓Leave the car in the paid hotel parking: the Korzo, the City Tower and the market are all within five minutes on foot.
- ✓Rijeka station is about a 10-minute walk, so the train from Zagreb works well for a car-free stay.
- ✓Rijeka airport is on the island of Krk, about 34 minutes by car, so book a transfer or plan the drive over the Krk bridge.
- ✓Travelling with a dog? Pets are allowed at OPERA, so mention the dog when booking, since the hotel also has an outdoor pool and a restaurant.

Why guests love itOPERA works for families who want a city base rather than a beach. The outdoor pool and the rooftop terrace give children a break between sights, and the Korzo, the Maritime and History Museum and the City Tower are all within five minutes on foot. Family rooms are air-conditioned and the restaurant serves all meals, which keeps logistics simple. The limits are clear: this is a city-centre hotel with city views, there is no beach at the door, parking is charged, and the hotel opened only in 2025, so its record is short. I would choose it for two or three nights in Rijeka, perhaps around a trip to Trsat or a ferry to the Kvarner islands.
