Sheraton Zagreb Hotel has 306 rooms, all with marble bathrooms, well lit and expansive living spaces, handsome wooden nightstands and desks, and high-speed internet connections. All in all, it’s like a polished version of home. The lobby flows from the café bar across to the restaurant under cascading glass chandeliers and leather armchairs. There are 13 conference rooms, a fitness spa and indoor pool. When you factor in the location, service and level of pampering, it really is good value for money. Make sure you ask about weekend specials, when prices can drop. Newly fashionable, this attractive, Habsburg-era city is just the right size for a long weekend. It combines a Mediterranean lifestyle – think al fresco cafes and street markets – with a healthy dollop of Eastern European attitude and hedonism at night. Cutting-edge modern art, wonderful boutique shopping and sightseeing opportunities aplenty complete Zagreb’s winning mix, while its gridded layout and concentrated city centre mean it's not overwhelming.
