Almayer Art & Heritage Hotel and Dépendance

The art on the walls in this boutique hotel is for sale, which means you could genuinely redecorate your living room during check-in. Spread across two restored historic buildings in Zadar's old town, the 16 rooms run from cool grey minimalism to deep blues and mustard, depending on which building you're in. The in-house gallery rotates local and international work, and the restaurant keeps things grounded in Dalmatian coast cooking.
