Ein Palasthotel der Belle Époque: Das Kvarner Palace in Kroatien

Vor 125 Jahren eroffnete im Seebad Crikvenica, damals Teil der k.u.k. Monarchie, heute in Kroatien gelegen, das Palasthotel Kvarner Palace. Desiree Vasko-Juhasz erzahlt die Geschichte dieses Hotels, das alle weltpolitischen Sturme des 20. Jahrhunderts uberstanden hat. Istrien und die Kvarner Bucht, seit 1873 durch die Sudbahn erschlossen, galten bereits in der k.u.k. Monarchie sonnenhungrigen Touristen als Eldorado. In Konkurrenz zu den Sudbahnhotels in Abbazia entstand 1895 an der damaligen ungarischen Riviera das Palasthotel Kvarner Palace. Der Erbauer dieses Juwels war Erzherzog Josef aus der ungarischen Linie der Habsburger. Als Architekt wurde im Zuge der Recherchen an diesem Buch Josef Hofler identifiziert, der ein Musterschuler Theophil Hansens gewesen ist. Nach eingehender Restaurierung ist das Hotel heute ein Grandhotel unter osterreichischer Leitung. Neben der spannenden Zeitgeschichte des Hotels und seiner Architektur bietet das reich mit Fotos ausgestattete Buch auch Hinweise auf Kunst- und Naturgenuss und Anleitungen fur Stippvisiten in das Hinterland mit alten Burgen und alpinen Karstlandschaften. In der Nahe prasentiert sich die von den Habsburgern errichtete Hafenstadt Fiume/Rijeka als Europaische Kulturhauptstadt 2020.
