Imperial Valamar Collection Hotel
Heritage elegance meets modern Adriatic comfort. Stone-and-garden setting with well-maintained interiors. Polished but not stuffy. Popular with couples and families who want more than a basic resort.
V Level guests get free access to the Finnish and bio sauna in the spa, plus exclusive beach and pool zones — worth considering the upgrade if wellness is a priority.
Why It Matters
One of the oldest hotel buildings on Rab island, dating from 1927. King Edward VIII stayed here in 1936. The location — inside a leafy town park, seconds from Rab's medieval walls — is genuinely hard to beat. The V Level tier and Balance Mediterranean Spa add a premium layer without making the whole hotel feel inaccessible.
Built in 1927 as one of the first hotels on the island of Rab, the Imperial Heritage Hotel sits inside Komrčar Park, just a short walk from the medieval old town. The historic stone building has been modernised thoughtfully — contemporary rooms behind a century-old facade, two restaurants, a solid spa, and a pool that catches afternoon sun. It's a seasonal property (May through October), well-run and genuinely characterful.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Room for 2+2 – Family
Two-bedroom family configuration with a dedicated children's area. Air-conditioned throughout with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and private bathrooms. Designed to handle two adults and two children comfortably, with two bathroom options according to some guest reviews.
Superior Room for 2 – Park View
Same configuration as the seaview superior but looking out over Komrčar Park rather than the sea. Comfortable, well-appointed, and typically quieter. About half of all 136 rooms face the park side.
Superior Room for 2 – Seaview
Contemporary double room with sea views. Air-conditioned with flat-screen cable TV, minibar, safe, desk, hairdryer, and private bathroom with shower or bath. Most superior sea-facing rooms do not have a balcony — this is mentioned repeatedly in guest reviews, so worth checking at booking.
V Level Suite
Top-tier accommodation within the V Level premium programme. Includes luxury amenities and services, access to the exclusive V Level lounge area at the pool, personalised check-in with refreshments, and private concierge. Finnish and bio sauna in the spa are complimentary for V Level guests.
