Today in Split, the project for the reconstruction of the Marjan hotel was presented, and the project was presented by Tomislav Popović, the president of the Maistra board, Silvije Novak and Zorislav Petrić from the architectural studio 3LHD, and Armando Vičić, the president of the board of Adris’ company Abilia.Tomislav Popović pointed out that Adris plans to invest an additional 480 million euros in the tourism part of the business by 2025. “This will make Maistra the largest national tourism company in the luxury segment, positioned in growing and internationally recognizable destinations – Rovinj, Dubrovnik and Zagreb, and with the reconstruction of the Marjan hotel in Split. In addition to the renovation of the Panorama and Westina hotels in Zagreb, the investment in the renovation of the Marjan hotel, worth more of 100 million euros, will be one of the largest single investments in Croatian tourism,” said Popović. According to Silvio Novak from the architectural Studio 3LHD, the concept of the complete reconstruction of hotel Marjan retains all the urban settings of Lovra Perković’s original project. It consists of a horizontal three-story base with two atriums around which the hotel’s public spaces line up and a vertical that retains the functions defined by the original project. The project was conceived in several points, the ultimate goal of which is to fit the building into the views of the city as much as possible – creating a pedestrian connection with neighboring plots, opening the atrium to bring light to the ground floor, ensuring an optimal view of the tower, adding attractive contents to the roof, activating the ground floor and connecting with the urban fabric of the West Bank. The entire reconstruction will be realized in the dimensions of the existing building. hotel Marjan will have 5 stars, 285 accommodation units, and will spread over a total of 15 floors from the basement to the vertical of the tower, where there will be exclusively accommodation units. A garage with 285 parking spaces will be located in the basement. Public spaces are arranged from the ground floor to the roof floor of the lower part of the building. The facilities that serve to activate the hotel are two atriums on the ground floor, the larger of which is richly planted with Mediterranean plant species and will serve as a living room to which the two restaurants on the ground floor with a total of 650 seats and the hotel lobby are oriented. The congress hall will be able to be divided into three smaller ones, and it will accommodate a total of 500 people. Other public facilities are the closed part of the wellness area, which will be located on the 1st and 2nd floors and will cover a total of 1,700 m2. Health will consist of an indoor pool of 140 m2, an exercise area and a health spa area with saunas, relaxation areas and massage rooms. On the third floor, which is also the roof of the lower part, there will be an additional 1,700 m2 open part of the wellness area, which will have two open pools with associated sunbeds and catering facilities. A fine-dining restaurant will be located on the roof of the lower part, which will be accessible, apart from through the hotel, also through a separate entrance, and will be able to accommodate a total of 100 guests. It will also have a covered terrace with a view towards Split. The accommodation units will be located on the upper floors and almost all will have a view of the sea. Those in the lower part of the building will have contact with the outside space in the form of terraces or balconies, while the rooms and apartments in the tower will be a contemporary interpretation of the original project, but in which each of them will be transformed into a loggia by opening large sliding walls.
