Novotel Zagreb
Brand new hotel so everything was beautiful. Breakfast was good. The only downside was that it was far from tourist areas (about 25 minutes)

Hotel Esplanade Zagreb
This legendary hotel is a belle époque art nouveau masterpiece, but also thoroughly modern. I totally loved it. Fin de siecle Orient Express class. Also pretty central - right next to station and a short clip north either on foot or by tram to the main drags.
