BO Hotel Palazzo
A historic seaside address with its own wellness centre
About this hotel
Built in 1910 for Poreč's aristocratic and bourgeois visitors, BO Hotel Palazzo sits right at the seaside on the Poreč Peninsula and carries the comfort of its 2009 refurbishment through elegantly furnished, air-conditioned rooms and larger suites. The wellness centre's hot tub looks straight out over the sea, a genuine draw for parents wanting to unwind after a day spent chasing kids around Istralandia's slides. Refined local and international dining rounds out the property. For a family or couple wanting old-town Poreč's history alongside a proper wellness offering rather than a plain city hotel, Palazzo's century-old seafront position and spa combination stand out from most of the nearby boutique alternatives.

- Poreč Peninsula location
Our take
This suits couples and families who want a wellness break built into an Istralandia trip, with the hot tub and refurbished period rooms adding a layer of comfort beyond a standard old-town stay. It suits fewer budget-focused travelers, since the wellness centre and historic building come with a price tag above the area's simpler boutique bed-and-breakfast options. Book the wellness centre for an evening slot after an Istralandia day, when the sea-view hot tub does the most work undoing the day's queues.
- ✓Book a wellness centre slot for the evening of your Istralandia day, when the recovery time matters most.
- ✓Ask for a room with sea views specifically, since the historic building's layout varies room to room.
- ✓Reserve ahead for peak season, since the wellness centre draws bookings beyond just water-park families.

Why guests love itAfter a long Istralandia day the hot tub at BO Hotel Palazzo, sea stretching out in front of it, was exactly the reset we needed before dinner. The building's history is obvious the moment you walk in, high ceilings and a genuine sense of occasion that a plain modern hotel would not have given us. It is more than a functional base, and for a trip where we wanted at least one properly indulgent evening, it delivered that.
