Esplanade Zagreb Hotel has taken an important step in strengthening its international presence and enhancing the guest experience by joining GHA DISCOVERY, the award-winning global loyalty programme of Global Hotel Alliance (GHA), the world’s largest alliance of independent hotel brands.

Through this partnership, Esplanade Zagreb Hotel becomes part of a prestigious global network that brings together more than 50 hotel brands and over 1,000 hotels across 100 countries worldwide, while opening an entirely new dimension of travel, benefits, and personalised experiences to its guests.

The GHA DISCOVERY programme is designed to reward guests from day one of membership through exclusive member rates, flexible rewards, special privileges, and authentic local experiences. Members earn DISCOVERY Dollars (D$), the programme’s rewards currency, which can be redeemed for future stays, dining, wellness and spa services, as well as numerous experiences at Esplanade and across all hotels within the GHA network worldwide.

“Esplanade has always been synonymous with exceptional service, tradition, elegance and unforgettable experiences. Our partnership with GHA DISCOVERY is a natural step that allows us to provide our guests with added value, greater flexibility, and access to a global network of outstanding hotels and experiences.

In addition to collecting D$ rewards, programme members can enjoy numerous benefits such as room upgrades, late check-out, personalised recognition, and exclusive privileges during their stay. The programme is designed to reward not only overnight stays, but the entire guest experience — from gastronomy and wellness offerings to unique local experiences.

Esplanade guests will also be able to redeem their rewards not only while travelling, but for exclusive destination-inspired experiences, even without booking accommodation. In this way, GHA DISCOVERY further reflects the growing trend of modern luxury travel, where authenticity, flexibility, and meaningful experiences take centre stage.

About the Hotel

Esplanade Zagreb Hotel is the most renowned and luxurious hotel in Zagreb and the region, and over the years its charm, elegance, and sophistication have only continued to grow. It first opened its doors in 1925 to attract passengers travelling on the legendary Orient Express route between Paris and Istanbul. Thanks to the dedication of its employees and entire team, the hotel continues to nurture the exceptional quality and service for which it is known today, positioning itself as an elite destination and one of the most iconic hospitality landmarks in Zagreb and Croatia. Long synonymous with luxury and prestige, the hotel has always been the centre of Zagreb’s most important social gatherings and has welcomed distinguished guests such as Josephine Baker, Leonid Brezhnev, Charles Lindbergh, and many others. Following its renovation, the hotel preserved its recognisable Art Deco charm while reopening even more beautiful and refined, earning its reputation as one of the true stars among hotels in the region and beyond.
