	10.03.12 - Five-star Croatia: Istrian Bliss at Hotel Monte Mulini Elite Traveler The soaring lobby at Hotel Monte Mulini lures you straight past reception to the view through the window. The clever architects at WATG have made the best of a fab location, with a vast glass wall over three floors flooding the atrium with light and framing the yacht-dotted bay beyond. Since opening in Rovinj in 2009, Monte Mulini has joined The Leading Hotels of the World, and become a new beacon as high net worths beat a path to Croatia. View article
	5.31.11 - Hotel Monte Mulini, Rovinj, Croatia Fabric Magazine A short plane hop from London, a speedy taxi transfer through beautiful countryside, and a little over two hours later, you could find yourself as we did, on Croatia's outstandingly beautiful Istrian coastline - in the area's first five-star hotel. Opened in 2009, the Monte Mulini is a stylishly designed hotel, where London architects WATG have created a space that celebrates drama and glamour on a huge scale, and yet also manages to feel comfortable, intimate and relaxed. The hotel nestles into a hillside, a protected nature reserve on one side and a chich, picture-perfect town of Rovinj - all cobbled streets, lively square, picturesque harbour and terracotta rooftops - on the other.

	8.25.10 - Adriatic Abundance in Rovinj, Croatia London Evening Standard Rovinj's first five-star hotel, the Monte Mulini, opened last year and is the most strikingly modern building in the area. A bold architectural statement by WATG architects (Mandarin Oriental, One&Only), the light-filled hotel is arranged over four floors with the front a panoramic glass wall showing off the view of the Adriatic Sea and forest and the vast outdoor pool below. Rooms are large, well-designed and colourful with luxurious bathrooms. The spa has glittering gold floors, a small indoor pool with gold leather cubes for tables and a large gold mosaic above. My treatment just had to be the 24-carat gold facial with gold leaf placed on the skin. View article
	5.25.10 - Hot Weekends The Seaside Special Elle There is nothing more relaxing than a coastal getaway. Hvar, the less well-known peninsula of Istria, just across the Adriatic from Venice, is worth seeking out. The ultra-modern Hotel Monte Mulini was built here two years ago, overlooking a pretty cove, with all 113 rooms facing seawards. It is just outside the impossibly pretty town of Rovinj - painted houses, cobbled lanes, lantern-lit cliffside bars where you perch on rocks just above the waves for moonlit cocktails... View article

	3.25.09 - Hotel Monte Mulini Opens in Croatia Hospitality Design The 5-Star Hotel Monte Mulini has debuted in Istria, Croatia. WATG served as the project's architect, interior designer, and landscape designer. The firm's inspiration came from the hotel's site, a wooded park. As such, WATG used local stone and timber "to create a contemporary hotel with magnificent views from every room," says vice president Jeremy Heyes. The hotel also takes advantage of natural light and features a curved roof positioned so that the glazed wall is in shadow during the summer, minimizing heat gain and the need for air conditioning.

	5.30.07 - London WATG designs first five-star hotel in Istria, Croatia World Architecture News Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo (WATG) has unveiled the designs for the Hotel Monte Mulini in Rovinj, a historic coastal city on the Istrian peninsula of Croatia on the Adriatic coast. View article

CHALLENGE The challenge was to design a modern and sophisticated five-star hotel in the historic coastal city on the Croatian peninsula of Istria. The design needed to adapt to the local culture and incorporate both summer and winter seasonal elements as well as sustainable design features.

SOLUTION The hotel was designed in a clean, contemporary, yet timeless style. The resort is set within the city on a main promenade in a forested park with a nature reserve situated across the bay; therefore, it was important to incorporate both urban and natural elements in the design. The main feature of the hotel is a large glazed wall, framing a view of the bay from the entrance lobby down through three levels of bars, lounges and restaurants. Sustainable design features include the use of overhangs for solar shading, and natural building materials such as local stone and timber.

SIZE 120 guestrooms including 19 luxury suites

AMENITIES Four storeys of atrium lobby lounge, all-day dining restaurant and wine vault restaurant; terraced reception and breakfast lounge; bar; pool bar/grille; outdoor swimming pool; spa; separate serviced luxury suites
