Palace Hotel Zagreb is a historic hotel located in Nikola à  ubiàZrinski Square in Zagreb, Croatia. The hotel opened in 1907 and is regarded as the first professionally organized hotel in the city.
The building was originally constructed in 1891 for Carl Schlesinger, a prominent musician. It opened as a hotel in 1907, making it one of the first professionally managed hotels in Zagreb. The hotelâÂÂs architectural style is primarily Neo-Rococo. It is known for its Art Nouveau interior, which is one of the few examples of this style in the region.
In 1920, the hotel hosted the Yugoslav-Hungarian Boundary Commission, a body tasked with determining the border between the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and the Kingdom of Hungary following the First World War and the dissolution of Austria-Hungary. The commission included representatives from several countries, including the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Japan, Yugoslavia, and Hungary.
In 2012, the hotel was awarded the "Hotel Baà ¡tina" (Hotel Heritage) award for its cultural and historical significance to the hospitality industry and the city of Zagreb. Throughout its history, the hotel has hosted numerous dignitaries, public figures, and international guests. These have included Croatian cultural figures such as conductor Berislav KlobuÃÂar, and global personalities including actress Sophia Loren and chess grandmaster Bobby Fischer. The hotel is known for local specialty of Zagreb - à  trukli, which is made from dough stretched by hand.
Following the 2020 Zagreb earthquake, the hotel closed for repairs and extensive renovations. As of 2025, the hotel was still under reconstruction.
