Le Meridien Opens First Hotel In Croatia

I've written before about the burgeoning travel opportunities in Croatia, now a big hotel name, Le Méridien, is making it's home in Split, a scenic town along the Croatian coast. The Le Méridien Lav is taking over the resort previously known as the Hotel Lav, giving it a $150 million renovation. The resort has 364 guestrooms with 17 suites and a comparatively small (394 square feet) Presidential Suite. The beach-front resort has seven bars and dining areas including a fine-dining restaurant, The Spalatum, a brasserie and a casual pub. The hotel also has a tennis academy, private yacht marina, a casino and indoor and outdoor pools. The hotel has a a special opening rate of 122 euros per double room per night which includes daily buffet breakfast and one dinner for 2 which is available from now until February 28.
