With a total investment of 30m Kuna, Maistra has refurbished a number of its properties and added to its portfolio with the recently opened Monte Mulini (Sleeper July / August 2009).

The newest hotel, within the Hotel Istra complex, features 32 spacious suites designed by Croatian architect Marijan Hržić.

Hržić comments: “The continuous cooperation of architects, artists and designers, who strove to envision and create the structural form and all of its details by achieving a synergy of natural materials and artistic expressions, inspired by the spirit of the location and its surroundings truly succeeded in producing a special and authentic structure.

“Each room was specially designed as an entirety and has a private terrace. That makes the interior harmonious and suggestive, offering the best experience both inside and outside of the hotel. The carefully selected spectrum of colours reflects and attracts light, and the areas reserved for rest and relaxation have special illumination worked out to achieve particular effects.”

Guests staying at the all-suite hotel have use of services within Hotel Istra including restaurants, sports facilities, and a wellness centre.
