A hotel ice-skating rink in the heart of the city

Fans of ice-skating can now enjoy an attractive open-air ice rink set up on the Oleander terrace of The Regent Esplanade Zagreb, a hotel that is located in the heart of the city. Apart from great fun, one can also enjoy mulled wine and various other treats included in this attractive offer.

The “Nice Ice” ice-skating rink has been opened at the famous Oleander terrace of The Regent Esplanade Zagreb hotel. Although the ice rink does not cover a large surface, it is located at a very attractive location in the heart of the city; a location that is dear to many generations of Zagreb’s citizens. The Esplanade hotel is one of the oldest and most prestigious hotels in Zagreb. It was built in 1925 to provide accommodation for wealthy passengers who arrived in Zagreb aboard the legendary train, the Orient Express, which connected Paris to Istanbul. Considering its long tradition and excellent reputation, this prestigious hotel has been host to many dignitaries from all over the world and, as such, it has played a significant role in Zagreb’s social life. It is upon these exalted foundations that this ice rink has been constructed, with a purpose of bringing the spirit of old Zagreb back to life and allowing visitors to enjoy the Oleander terrace in the same manner as generations past.

Apart from recreation on ice, visitors at the attractive ice rink can enjoy the “Nice Ice” Gallery lounge bar, which has an array of treats, mulled wine, good music, and many other surprises on offer. All are welcome to enjoy this unique ice rink in the heart of the city, which will remain open until Valentine’s Day.
 
The ice rink also is mentioned as one of the hotel’s attractions on the well-known internet page, “TripAdvisor”, which is aimed at travellers. This same website has recently pronounced The Regent Esplanade hotel as being the best among Zagreb’s 47 hotels listed in their database.
