Cres Croatia

Kristina Zanic designs Croatia debut for Autograph Collection

Autograph Collection Hotels has made its debut in Croatia with the opening of The Isolano, Cres, Autograph Collection. 

Situated within a lush pine grove overlooking the Adriatic Sea, The Isolano comprises 49 guestrooms and suites, a restaurant with sea views, two outdoor heated pools, expansive wellness offerings and direct beach access. 

Inspired by the Adriatic coastline, interior designer Kristina Zanic has imagined a sophisticated yet relaxed design that reflects the essence of Mediterranean living. Harmoniously integrated with the surrounding Mediterranean vegetation, the hotel’s geometric architecture draws on locally-sourced stone from Brac island, while interiors feature a colour palette of white, grey, sand, navy and cognac, mirroring the natural beauty and serenity of the coastline. Local fabrics and artworks meanwhile include art by local painter Solis in the lobby and locally-sourced wool for the menus at Restaurant Moise, strengthening the connection to the island’s culture and heritage.
