ALL-NEW FOUR STAR HOTEL OF THE ALH GROUP
HOTEL KOMPAS DUBROVNIK
Art Gallery Luna + Sol HOTEL DUBROVNIK PALACE
Forty-five might be considered young for facelift, but it's just about the right time for this 3-star hotel to undergo a major makeover. This year, hotel Kompas will become the elegant four-star hotel it deserves to be. Hotel Kompas will re-open its doors middle of August 2015 and will emerge with a completely new look as a sophisticated 4-plus-star hotel. Enjoying a sensational seaside setting overlooking golden Lapad beach and the Adriatic Sea, the allnew 4+-star Hotel Kompas Dubrovnik will offer great contemporary design and outstanding dining and conference facilities with personal, friendly service. The hotel will feature a total of 173 sophisticated bedrooms and suites, lavishly ornamented with elegant décor and most with sea view and balcony. The new design includes significant upgrades to all the interior spaces of the hotel, creating a blend of sophisticated, modern but yet harmonious look which will delight our discerning guests. Guests will also enjoy Sphere Restaurant & Lounge Bar with innovative cuisine concepts and will serve both as an a la carte and main dining restaurant. It will serve as inspirations to our guests, offering delicious Croatian and international dishes made with the finest ingredients, a carefully selected wine list and magnificent views of the Adriatic Sea. As night falls, guests will be able to step on the seafront terrace of the Sphere Lounge Bar, while sipping their favourite drinks and enjoying the magical scene of the sunset in the background. The hotel’s exteriors will feature warm and inviting lighting, contemporary glass doors and stone accents matching the natural colours of the environment. When entering the reception area, guests will be pleasantly greeted by soft integrated lighting and an atmosphere of a homey gathering place. The reception area will also feature a
striking top-floor Zenith bar in a spectacular setting - all corners of the bar will be made of glass walls, overlooking the Uvala bay and the Adriatic Sea. For the summer season, the hotel will also open its spacious sunbathing terrace, offering views of Lapad Bay glistening in the midday sun. Guests can also cool off in the outdoor pool, or enjoy their favourite drinks, coffee and light cocktails at the poolside Luna bar. To meet the new demands of business meeting and convention attendees, the hotel will feature a high tech conference room Meridian for up to 400 people with theatre style seating. The meeting room can be divided into three smaller sections, all featuring natural light and state-of-the-art technical equipment.
True to its concept of artistic interior design, Hotel Dubrovnik Palace is home to over 1000 original works by Croatia’s most prominent artists such as Edo Murtić, Dušan Džamonja, Jagoda Buić, Mladen Veža and Romana Milutin Fabris. The very heart of the hotel's art scene is LUNA + SOL, a quirky art gallery on the seventh floor, which opened in 2014. Here, guests can explore paintings, sculptures, drawings, photography and art installations, as the changing light plays over the gallery's panoramic views over the Adriatic. All the paintings and art exhibited within the gallery are for sale. From April to November 2015, the gallery will feature an exhibition of works by three Croatian academic artists. During April and May, the Croatian painter of the younger generation, Tomislav Ostrman, will present the exhibition “Party Time Planet”. Ostrman’s painting deals with utopia, optimism and humour, so the critics call it "Sweet utopia". He has had many notable exhibitions, and his works can be found in collections in Croatia and abroad.
June and July will be marked by distinctive and powerful paintings by Bane Milenković. Today Milenković has a unique position within contemporary art, and continues the tradition of our greatest landscape painters, seascapes and colourists. The recipient of numerous awards,, Milenković has exhibited in over 70 solo exhibitions and 130 group exhibitions in Croatia and abroad. Through August, September and October, the gallery will show works of Mersad Berber, one of the most important artists of the region whose works reveal his amazing skill as a draftsman. As a widely recognized and awarded artist, he was included in the Tate Gallery collection in 1984. Berber has achieved international recognition as one of the greatest postclassical artists of the 20th century. The right piece of art can be the souvenir of a lifetime, so visit the gallery to find “the” piece to call your own.
THE WINE DINGAČ RESERVE 2010 LIMITED VINTAGE –FOUND ONLY AT ALH HOTELS! The Grape - Plavac Mali - the region’s most prominent and most popular red wine grape, is the basis of many of Croatia’s award-winning reds. High in alcohol and tannins, these wines are dense and robust, often with a spicy finish. The new hotel Kompas will also feature a luxury Spa centre where a tranquil sanctuary and complete relaxation of five-star pampering will be guaranteed. Guests can choose from an impressive menu of luxury health and beauty services offered in three all-white treatment rooms, work out on the latest state-of-theart equipment in the fitness room overlooking the pool area and the sea behind it, relax in the indoor or outdoor pool, with serene views of the crystal blue Adriatic Sea, and rejuvenate in the saunas.
To please the palate of (Croatian) wine lovers, Adriatic Luxury Hotels have created a special project. In partnership with one of the finest wineries in the Pelješac region – the Skaramuča family winery – we have selected a premium plot to grow a limited variety of Plavac Mali grape to create a special Dingač reserve, sold exclusively at our hotels and villas at great prices across our hotels... .
Poised on the beachfront of picturesque Lapad Bay and its famous promenade called Uvala, the new Hotel Kompas will be a little piece of heaven for the perfect holiday!
Why Dingač? The area is unique for its microclimate and position: it receives up to 3000 hours of intense sunlight annually and extremely high temperatures, as it spreads over steep slopes above the Adriatic shoreline.
The Winery - The Skaramuča family vineyards are found on the southern slopes of Dingač, spread across 20 hectares of sun-kissed slopes on the Pelješac Peninsula. With so many awardwinning wines, the decision to select a premium area of the vineyard for Adriatic Luxury Hotels limited vintages came naturally... This elegant, multi-layered wine with ripe fruit notes of cherry and prune is vibrant and rich with an impenetrable ruby colour. The rich and layered fruitiness mixed with a final spicy touch of oak typical of Dingač results in the pure pleasure of excellent balance: luxurious, powerful and warm. To enjoy our exquisite Dingač Reserve, ask your server or bartender for a recommendation or wine pairing advice.
