Hotel Excelsior

Lovran's big seafront hotel, near the local dog bathing spot

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A four-star, ten-floor hotel of 176 rooms and nine suites in Lovran, at the southern end of the Lungomare, with the Taverna restaurant. Booking direct, a second pet stays free. It suits a quieter stay than Opatija, with the chestnut woods of Učka behind.

Dogs on a lead can join you in the lobby bar and on the restaurant and bar terraces. They aren't in the indoor restaurants, the wellness and spa areas, the pools or on the hotel beaches. At mealtimes there's a shared dining area set aside for guests who'd rather keep their dog with them. A dog can stay alone in the room with the door hanger out.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
