Five New Stars for Poreč: Jadran Heritage Hotel – Valamar Collection

Jadran Heritage Hotel 5*, part of the Valamar Collection, is a new boutique hotel set on the Poreč waterfront, with its opening planned for February 2026. 

Boasting a prime seaside location in the historic heart of Poreč, the hotel will offer luxurious themed rooms with a distinctive character, as well as a signature restaurant by one of the world’s most celebrated chefs - JAZ by Ana Roš.

The interior of Jadran Heritage Hotel will seamlessly combine original architecture with contemporary design and artistic details, emphasizing the hotel’s refined, individual character. Each of the 12 exclusive designer rooms and suites will be named after elements inspired by the city’s rich history.

One of the defining features of Jadran Heritage Hotel is its gourmet experience, thoughtfully curated for every guest. The hotel will be home to JAZ by Ana Roš, a bistro by one of the world’s most influential chefs, winner of the World’s Best Female Chef title and holder of three Michelin stars. Her distinctive young dining concept - rooted in seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and a fusion of global influences with authentic Istrian flavours - places Jadran Heritage Hotel and Poreč at the forefront of the regional gastronomic scene.

The complete renovation of the historic former Hotel Jadran, originally built in 1913 as an annex to Poreč’s first hotel, is a landmark restoration project that honours and revitalizes one of the most iconic buildings along the Poreč waterfront.
