Constructed in 1886 for Dr. Julius Glax, a pioneer of health tourism, and fully renovated in 2020, the five-star Hotel Sveti Jakov is a boutique jewel set within St. Jakov Park. Its ochre-hued Austro-Hungarian villa offers just 26 spacious rooms, some with private terraces and jacuzzis, alongside the stone-arched Restaurant Sveti Jakov overlooking the park and the Adriatic.
