The suites are situated near some of the most beautiful cultural and historical sites in Rijeka, such as the theater Ivan Zajc, the St. Vid church, the Governor's palace and the palace Modello. In addition to that, the location where the suites are today, once was the residence of a prominent historical persona, Fiorello La Guardia, american consul in Rijeka and 3-time mayor of New York (1934-1945).
