Keight is the first Croatian hotel that will operate under the Curio Collection brand and also the first hotel under the Hilton brand designed by 3LHD. The investor is Katarina Line, the leading Croatian cruise company. Project concept unites the best of the sea and the best of the land - inspired by long sea voyages, this contemporary hotel with a pleasant ambience evokes the feeling of returning home after a long journey.
Keight is a tribute to Opatija's tourist heritage. It is located in the center of the city, close to the sea and historical buildings, which are reinterpreted with facade elements. The central point of the hotel is the restaurant on the ground floor, a meeting place for hotel guests and all residents of Opatija.
Accommodation units with moody tones, the colors of the sky and the sea in a storm, draw the guest into a safe haven, protected from the forces of nature. The sun deck on the roof represents an escape into a dreamy world, a place for relaxed leisure time with a view of the sea. Read more on the LINK. Despite its age, the building had good predispositions to be adapted, converted and reused as a new office and public space.
The new Urania houses public spaces for various cultural events and a couple of office spaces. It is a point of social gathering and public activities, as well as a space for numerous events such as educational workshops, presentations, exhibitions, concerts, screenings and the like. By interacting and connecting and encouraging education, communication, and innovation as fundamental principles in the process of creative creation, as well as encouraging interdisciplinary work and cooperation with related activities, the development of culture and artistic creation is achieved, connecting the community and activating social change.
Since the founding of 3LHD, the theme of sustainable construction and environmental care has been present through our earliest projects - whether it's the use of local materials in projects like Sports Hall Bale, introduction of greenery and passive temperature management in projects like the Campus Infobip , the Green Pavilion on the Forestry Faculty Campus , Grand Park Hotel Rovinj , or the exploration and implementation of biodiversity ideas in projects such as the Rimac Campus , Karlovac Freshwater Aquarium and River Museum.
