Opened in 2019, the four-star Hotel Lyra offers contemporary, Scandi-chic accommodation just 7 km from the UNESCO-protected Plitvice Lakes National Park. Set amid countryside and dark skies, the hotel places sustainability and community at its core, with eco-conscious design, indigenous planting throughout the gardens, and a team drawn from nearby villages who bring genuine local insight to the guest experience.
The hotel features 58 rooms and suites, all designed in calm natural tones. Dining is a highlight, with a restaurant that champions regional flavours and seasonal produce sourced from local farms and bakers. A newly opened seasonal outdoor swimming pool with pool bar sits within the gardens, providing a relaxed spot to unwind after exploring the lakes. Taking advantage of the area’s exceptionally dark skies, the hotel has invested in professional telescopes, available to guests staying in Deluxe Suites for memorable stargazing experiences.
