Zagreb u nezaboravnom sjećanju

Z

ar je prošlo pola godine otkako smo izdali zimski broj magazina? Nekako imam osjećaj da s godinama vrijeme leti sve brže i brže, ili je to zato što zaista radimo punom parom. Stiže nam sve više gostiju, zaredale su se brojne nagrade, događanja, svečanosti, konferencije, državne delegacije i eto, još malo pa nam je ljeto pred vratima. No, bilo kako bilo ponosan sam na činjenicu da smo u ovim, za izdavaštvo teškim vremenima izdali još jedan broj Esplanade View magazina. U svakom izdanju nastojimo ispričati neku dirljivu priču o hotelu i razgovarati sa značajnim osobama, a ovaj put odluka je pala na recepciju hotela - dečki su gentlemenski ustupili mjesto svojim kolegicama koje su nam otkrile kako gaje istinsku ljubav prema ovom hotelu, a podijelile su s nama i pokoju anegdotu. Divno je vidjeti takav sklad, pozitivnu radnu atmosferu i istinsko prijateljstvo koje vlada među ovim šarmantnim damama.

Kao direktor hotela mogu potvrditi da su zaista jedna složna ekipa.

Impresionirani izložbom i fotografijama, iskoristili smo slobodan trenutak jednog od najpoznatijih živućih fotografa današnjice, Petera Lindbergha i zamolili ga da s nama podijeli svoju životnu priču o fotografskoj karijeri, a neke od nas posebno je zanimalo kako je bilo raditi sa svjetskim top modelima. Niti poznatu plesnu skupinu iz Irske, Lord of the dance nismo pustili da ode iz hotela bez nekoliko pitanja o nastupu u Zagrebu, pripremama i zanimljivim iskustvima. Spektakularnim nastupom oduševili su Zagrepčane, a nas iskrenim razgovorom i pristupačnošću. Vesele me entuzijasti koji u naš Zagreb dovode ove vrhunske umjetnike i poznata svjetska imena. Uz sve veći broj kvalitetnih društvenih i kulturnih zbivanja Zagreb polako, ali sigurno postaje sve atraktivnija turistička destinacija, a tome doprinose i nova originalna mjesta za izlaske kojima smo rado ustupili nekoliko stranica našeg magazina. Gdje se ispija najbolja kava u gradu, gdje se opušta, a gdje su ludi noćni izlasci, ispitali smo za vas.

Iskreno se nadamo da će i ljeto biti prepuno događanja, jer ako ništa ne poremeti planove, predviđamo još veći broj gostiju iz raznih dijelova svijeta, a zadaća svih nas je da učinimo sve kako bi im Zagreb ostao u nezaboravnom sjećanju. Dovoljan je jedan osmijeh i lijepa gesta, da se pozitivna slika o našem divnom gradu širi dalje u svijet.

Ivica Max Krizmanić, generalni direktor

Zagreb as everlasting memory

H

as it already been half a year since we launched the winter issue of the magazine? I somehow feel that with time the years seem to fly by faster and faster, or is it simply because we’re all constantly working at such an overwhelming pace. More guests have continually been joining us, the numerous awards, events, festivals, conferences, government delegations and before we knew it, the summer is almost upon us once again.

All in all, I’m proud of the fact that even in these somewhat hard times for publishing, we’ve managed to create yet another issue of Esplanade View magazine. In each issue we strive to share a touching story about the hotel and talk with significant people, and this time we’ve decided shine the spotlight on the hotel reception. The male members wanted to be true gentlemen and so they let their female colleagues become the highlight, revealing their true love of this hotel and throwing in the occasional anecdote. It’s great to see such harmony, a positive working atmosphere and genuine friendship that is shared among these charming ladies. As a manager of the hotel, I can genuinely say they are indeed one united team.

Impressed by the marvellous photographic exhibition and images, we managed to grab a few spare moments of one of the most famous photographers of our time, Peter Lindbergh and asked him to share with us some of his life stories as a man behind the lens, and understandably, some of us particularly were intrigued to know what it was really like to work with the world’s top models. Naturally, while the world-famous Irish dance troop, Lord of the Dance were with us, we just couldn’t let them leave without a few questions about the show in Zagreb, how they prepare for each performance and their amazing experiences. The spectacular performance simply thrilled the people of Zagreb, as we were delighted with our sincere conversation and their enthusiasm to talk to us. I’m always excited when enthusiasts manage to attract such exceptional artists and world famous names to our City of Zagreb. With the increasing number of high quality social and cultural events in Zagreb, we can safely say, it is slowly but surely becoming an even more attractive tourist destination. New and original city-hangouts contribute to that fact that we’ve gladly dedicated them several pages of this magazine issue. Where you can drink the best coffee in town, where to relax and where to go for those unforgettable wild-nights-out, are all questions we’ve found the answers to.

We sincerely hope that summertime will be overflowing with events, because if everything goes to plan, we’re expecting an even greater number of visitors from different parts of the world, and so the task for each and every one of us is to do everything possible to ensure Zagreb remains as everlasting memory. Just a simple smile and a kind gesture is all it takes for the positive image of our wonderful city to spread further across the world.

Mjesta za trenutke kvalitetnog opuštanja

Places for moments of quality relaxation

Čini li vam se kao da Zagreb noću spava?

Mirne ulice pokazuju obzir prema počinku, a stanovnici bezbrižno uživaju u toplini svojih domova. A što je s onima koji spavanje smatraju gubitkom vremena, koji žive punim plućima i spremni su za ludi provod?

Do you feel like Zagreb sleeps at night?

Quiet streets show consideration for resting while inhabitants enjoy carefree warmth in their homes. What about those who consider sleeping a waste of time, who live life to the max and who are ready for a wild night out?

Često smo znali čuti kako Zagrebu, uz sve ljepote i kulturu, nedostaje jedno: noćni život! No, je li to zaista tako? Oni željni dobrog provoda znaju gdje su se smjestili zagrebački hot spotovi, no postoji li išta ljepše nego ispunjen dan početi ugodnom jutarnjom kavom?

TIME RESTAURANT & BAR Mjesto za koje svakako možemo reći da je izvan vremena i prostora smjestilo se u Petrinjskoj ulici, nedaleko od Zrinjevca. Riječ je o baru Time. Impresivan dizajnerski interijer koji nas, upotpunjen jutarnjom kavom i toplim kroasanima, odvodi na putovanje inspirirano poznatim bečkim kavanama. Cijeđeni sok i lagana ambijentalna glazba te odličan izbor novina jutarnju

I often hear how Zagreb, together with its beauty and culture, is missing one thing: night life! Is that really true? Those in search of great fun know where Zagreb hot spots are, however is there anything better than starting a full day with a cup of morning coffee?

TIME RESTAURANT & BAR A place for which we can say that is not bound by time or space has situated itself in Petrinjska street, not far from Zrinjevac park. We’re talking of the Time bar. An impressive interior, which fulfils us with morning coffees and warm croissants, it takes us on a journey inspired by famous Vienna style cof-

kavu čine pravim ritualom za osjetila. Kako dan odmiče, atmosfera i unutarnji život ovog jedinstvenog prostora, uz pomoć pomno odabrane rasvjete i urbane atmosfere, pretvaraju ga u koktel bar, koji je odličan izbor za afterwork razgovor i opuštanje s prijateljima uz velik izbor koktela i odličnu ponudu vina, koja možete naručiti i u čaši. Putovanje se nastavlja, bečka kavana se pretvara u it mjesto poput onih iz New Yorka. Tome zasigurno pridonosi i impresivan izbor žestokih pića koja se mogu ispijati uz uživanje uz cigaru. Kako pada noć, atmosfera postaje uzavrela, ali jednako tako i opuštena. Najdulji šank koji smo vidjeli, impresivan interijer zagasitih boja i čistih linija, sa stropom višim od pet metara… sve to pridonosi glamuroznosti bara. Jazz, soul i r’n’b glazba te gostovanje najboljih DJ-a ovo mjesto pretvara u odličan noćni klub koji živi i pleše dugo u noć.

KHALA BAR Nakon glamura i zapadnjačke sofisticiranosti možda poželite promijeniti atmosferu i otići na Daleki istok. I nije nerealno kako se možda čini na prvu. Čak ne morate otići iz Zagreba. Khala lounge & wine bar inspiriran je orijentalnom atmosferom, a ponajviše otokom Bali.

Birajte između vina, šampanjca, pedeset različitih koktela i odlične ponude kubanskih cigara te si priuštite orijentalne užitke usred Zagreba. Khala bar uvršten je u sto najboljih barova svijeta. Smješten je u poznatom zagrebačkom Kaptol centru koji se nalazi na vrhu Tkalčićeve ulice.

DREAM BAR U centru Zagreba smjestilo se još jedno, nikako manje ugodno mjesto od ostalih, a utjecat će na sva vaša osjetila. Dream bar u Frankopanskoj ulici svojim interijerom savršeno spaja moderno i rustikalno, a bijele i sive nijan-

fee shops. Freshly squeezed juice and easy going music and a great selection of newspaper make the morning coffee a real ritual for all the senses. As the day progresses, the atmosphere and internal life of this unique space with the help of carefully selected lighting and urban atmosphere turn it into a cocktail bar, which make it a great choice for afterwork conversation and relaxing with friends along with great selection of cocktails and excellent selection of wines, which can be ordered by glass. The journey then continues, the Vienna style is transformed into the it place such as those in New York. There is also an impressive selection of hard liquor, which can be enjoyed with a cigar. As the night falls, the atmosphere becomes heated, but also relaxing. The longest counter which we’ve seen, an impressive interior of dark colours and clear lines with a ceiling of more than 5 meters...all this contributes to the glamour of the bar.

Jayy, soul R&B and great guest DJs make this place into an excellent night club which lives and dances long into the night.

KHALA BAR After a night of glamour and western sophistication maybe you want to change the atmosphere and go to the Far East. It’s not even that impossible as you might think. You don’t even have to leave Zagreb. The Khala Lounge & Wine Bar is inspired by oriental atmosphere and mostly with the island of Bali. Choose between wine, champagne, fifty different types of cocktail and an excellent offer of Cuban cigars and indulge yourself in oriental pleasures in the middle of Zagreb.

Khala Bar has been included in the list of top 100 bars worldwide. It is situated in the famous Zagreb Kaptol Centre, which sits atop of Tkalčićeva Street.

BASEMENT

se obogaćene su srebrnim i crnim detaljima. Uz klasične naslonjače, sofe, otomane i separee savršeno pristaju raskošni, gotovo orijentalni lusteri, dok niski šesterokutni stolići za kavu daju dozu minimalističkog šarma. Dream bar savršeno je mjesto za romantične trenutke u dvoje, a uz čašu vina susret pretvara u nezaboravno iskustvo.

BASEMENT Nakon ludih noćnih provoda, kad partiji posustanu a vi se ponovno nađete u vrevi glavnog grada, posjetite vinski bar Basement.

Kako biste upotpunili užitak, uživajte u okusima Hrvatske pretočenima u zalogaje. Svaka plata u baru Basement predstavlja delicije drugog kraja Hrvatske i idealno se može kombinirati s vinima iz različitih regija. Tako birajte između slavonske, istarske i dalmatinske plate koje čine proizvodi svojstveni za tu regiju. Dalmatinski pršut, istarski kozji sir, slavonski kulen samo su neki od užitaka. Lagana lounge ili smooth jazz glazba savršeno se stapa s ugodnim ambijentom.

ESPLANADE BAR Idealan spoj tradicije i svega modernoga što očekujete od jednog bara naći ćete u Esplanade 1925 lounge & cocktail baru. Po uzoru na najbolje njujorške hotelske barove, kozmopolitsko okružje Esplanade bara nudi odličnu vinsku listu i koktele po prihvatljivim cijenama.

Mlada ekipa pristupačnih i okretnih barmena, ugodna lounge glazba u pozadini te DJ četvrtkom – više-manje su sve što vam treba da biste doista uživali. Otkrijte kako izgleda izlazak u Esplanade 1925 lounge & cocktail baru. Doživjet ćete pravo osvježenje!

Ispijanje vina i uživanje u gastronomskim delicijama oduvijek je bilo bitan dio ugodnog života. U današnje vrijeme ponovno se sve više pozornosti pridaje upravo tim hedonističkim sitnicama. Zagreb se tako može svrstati u gradove koji pružaju mjesta za potpuno opuštanje i uživanje u životu.

The Dream Bar is a perfect place for romantic couple moments and with every glass of wine makes your rendezvous unforgettable.

ESPLANADE BAR The ideal fusion of tradition and all what is expected of a modern bar can be found at the Esplanade 1925 lounge & cocktail bar. Modelled on the best New York hotel bars, the cosmopolitan ambience of the Esplanade bar offers a great wine list and cocktails at affordable prices.

Discover what it’s like going out to the Esplanade 1925 lounge & cocktail lounge. You’ll experience real refreshment!

Sipping wine and enjoying culinary delicacies has always been an important part of comfortable living. In today’s modern times there is more attention being paid to these hedonistic small things.

Sretan sam zbog dolaska u Zagreb, prostor HDLU-a zaista je jako lijep.

Sviđa mi se kružni prostor.

Galerija je prekrasna. zložbu Images of Women & The Unknown, koja je trajala do 10. svibnja, mnogi nazivaju jednim od najvećih kulturnih događaja u Hrvatskoj u 2014. godini i manifestacijom koju ne bi smjeli propustiti istinski ljubitelji mode i vrhunske fotografske umjetnosti. Peter Lindbergh poznat je po tome što je prvi fotografijama upozorio na važnost i vrijednost ženske ljepote, stvarajući modne ikone 90-ih godina i pokrenuvši trend supermodela. Lindbergha je, kaže, Zagreb oduševio, osobito jer je prvi put svoju izložbu postavio u kružnom prostoru, koji je, smatra, dao posebnu dimenziju izložbi te će zagrebačkoj publici priuštiti nezaboravno putovanje kroz njegov postav.

“Sretan sam zbog dolaska u Zagreb, prostor HDLU-a zaista je jako lijep.

he exhibition “Images of Women” & “The Unknown”, which lasted until May 10th is being hailed by many as one of the greatest cultural events in Croatia in 2014 and a manifestation, which shouldn’t be missed by true aficionados of fashion and top quality photography. Peter Lindbergh is famous for the fact that he was the first to highlight the importance and value of female beauty through his photographs, thereby creating fashion icons in the 90s and starting the trend of supermodels. Lindbergh admitted that he was fascinated by Zagreb. A special motive for him was the fact that he would, for the first time, set his exhibition in a circular space for which he believes gives a special dimension to this story and will give the Zagreb public an unforgettable journey through his artwork. ˝I’m very happy to be in Zagreb, the CAA building is wonderful! I’m very fond of the idea of a circular space.

The entire gallery section is really amazing. That beautiful outer ring, the barrel gallery, the inner ring, the wonderful dome…its really beautiful.This concept is a challenge for me and that is why it is more appealing to me.

work and show something first, something second and something last. In a circular space there is only one decision. It is actually a very simple task to set the exhibition˝ said Lindbergh.

Lindbergh presents himself to the Croatian public at the CAA with the exhibition “Images of Women” and “The Unknown” and an exhibition, which is in its current form, but slightly differently showing at the “Ullens Center for Contemporary Art” in Beijing. The exhibition will be shown in Europe for the first time by which Zagreb has received great recognition and honour from this renowned artist.

“The Images of Women works date back to almost the beginning of my work in photography. Actually to the very beginning. Somewhere around 1984 from the Commes de Garcon campaign and all the way to 1995.

That’s when I had my first exhibition Images of Women and the book. That exhibition has remained more or less the same to this day. Instead of adding works I started working on a new project. I wanted to the first exhibition to remain untouched and for no one to mess with it. I’m currently working on another book, which will be called Images of Women II, which dates from 1995 to today. As for the Unknown, most of the works have been made since the beginning of 2000. As the year 2000 was the beginning of a new millennium it was also a turning point in my work. I wanted to shift the focus from women to photography. I wanted to define the woman of that time. The Unknown series, which was initially called Invasion, began with very cynical photographs of a Martian invasion.

Futuristic photos made in retro style, descending lights – Martians remind us of the futuristic movies of the 70s and 80s. Looking at the context of time, the supermodel phenomenon had already started to fade and I wanted to do something else. People ask me today whether it is possible for the supermodel phenomenon to happen

again? I tell them that it’s not because the emergence of supermodels today is based on the idea of supermodels from the nineties. When those girls appeared in the nineties, they were the revolution of women before them.

Models today, are equally beautiful and attractive as in the nineties, but they do not represent a change as the supermodels of the nineties did.˝, says Lindbergh During one occasion Lindbergh said that art is a way for the individual to express him or herself, whereas he wanted to express the following with photography: ˝I like to define a woman, which is in a way, a love letter to that woman and I want to portray her as I see her. This is a challenge I found myself facing in 1988 when I was told: Create that woman, define her and that is what I like. I don’t like the prototype of a woman that promotes propaganda for a certain lifestyle.˝

Surrounded and ˝followed˝ by women throughout his career, there have been two women of significant importance along the professional journey of Peter Lindbergh. Liz Tilberis, the chief editor of Harpers Bazaar and Anna Wintour, the chief editor of the American Vogue, key women at the head of world’s leading fashion magazines. Despite having a very successful working relationship with both based on an honest relationship and friendly trust, each one of them had a different approach towards him and his way of working and vision of photography.

“The two of them are completely different stories. Liz Tilberis became the chief editor of Harpers Bazaar without responsibility to make money for her magazine. Anna, on the other hand, had huge pressure on her from the publisher, who were expecting big earnings. That’s precisely why she had to be stricter and more rigorous

“Radovi Images of Women datiraju gotovo od početka mog rada u modnoj fotografiji. Zapravo, ne od samog početka. Negdje od 1984., od kampanje za Commes de Garçon, do 1995. Tada sam napravio prvu izložbu, Images of Woman, i izdao istoimenu knjigu. I ta je izložba do danas ostala manje-više ista. Umjesto da dodajem radove, počeo sam raditi na novom projektu.

Htio sam da prva izložba ostane netaknuta. Trenutačno radimo na drugoj knjizi, koja će se zvati Images of Women II, koja obuhvaća vrijeme od 1995. do danas. Što se Unknowna tiče, većina radova bila je napravljena od početka 2000. Godina 2000. bila je početak novog milenija, kao i pre-

Od mnogo žena koje su ga okruživale i “pratile” ga tijekom njegove karijere, dvije su žene bile iznimno bitne za profesionalni put Petera Lindbergha: Liz Tilberis, glavna urednica Harpers Bazaara, i Anna Wintour, glavna urednica američkog Voguea kretnica u mom radu. Htio sam težište prebaciti sa žene na fotografiju. Prije toga uglavnom sam nastojao definirati ženu tog razdoblja. Serija Unknown, koja se u početku zvala Invasion, počela je s vrlo ciničnim fotografijama invazije Marsovaca. Futurističke slike napravljene u retro stilu, svjetla koja se spuštaju, Marsovci koji nastupaju i koji podsjećaju na futurističke filmove 70-ih i 80-ih. Gledajući u kontekstu vremena, fenomen supermodela tada je pomalo već bio izblijedio i htio sam raditi nešto drugo. Ljudi me pitaju je li moguće da se fenomen supermodela ponovi. Kažem im da nije, jer je pojava današnjih supermodela zasnovana na ideji supermodela iz devedesetih.

Kada su se te djevojke pojavile u devedesetima, one su bile revolucija u usporedbi sa ženama prije njih.

Danas su modeli jednako atraktivni i lijepi kao i devedesetih, ali ne predstavljaju promjenu kao što su to činili supermodeli 90-ih”, kaže Lindbergh.

Jednom prilikom Lindbergh je izjavio da je umjetnost način da pojedinac izrazi sebe, a on je fotografijom želio izraziti sljedeće.

Hotel ESPLANADE /

“Volim definirati ženu, to je na neki način ljubavno pismo toj ženi, i pokazati toj ženi kako ju ja vidim. To je izazov pred kojim sam se našao 1998., kad mi je rečeno: Stvori tu ženu, definiraj ju, i to je ono što volim. Ne želim prototip žene koja radi propagandu za određeni stil života.”

Od mnogo žena koje su ga okruživale i “pratile” tijekom njegove karijere, dvije su žene bile iznimno bitne za profesionalni put Petera Lindbergha, žene na čelu vodećih svjetskih modnih magazina: Liz Tilberis, glavna urednica Harpers Bazaara, i Anna Wintour, glavna urednica američkog Voguea.

Iako je s obje imao izrazito uspješnu suradnju temeljenu na iskrenom odnosu i povjerenju, svaka od njih imala je drugačiji pristup njemu i njegovu načinu rada i viziji fotografije.

“Njih dvije su dvije potpuno različite osobe. Liz Tilberis je došla na poziciju urednice Harpers Bazaara bez obaveze da skuplja novac za svoj magazin.

Anna je pred sobom imala veliki pritisak izdavača, koji su očekivali zaradu. Upravo zato morala je biti mnogo stroža i rigoroznija sa suradnicima.

Anna je znala što želi, imala je jasno zacrtan cilj – ojačati modnu industriju, osnažiti časopis. Liz je bila fantastična žena. Svi su je voljeli. Svi smo imali potpunu slobodu da radimo što želimo. I to se vidjelo u izgledu časopisa.

Izgledao je vrlo umjetnički. Kad je to krenulo, američki je Vogue u usporedbi s Bazaarom izgledao kao katalog.

Ali to je bilo i razumljivo. Anna je časopis morala prodati masama iz supermarketa. Ona si nije mogla dopustiti tu slobodu. Ono što je bilo dobro jest to što je Bazaar nametao Vogueu da se kreće u umjetničkom smjeru, i Anna ga je tako i usmjerila. Uvijek je postojao mali rat između Conde Nasta i Hearsta, a ja sam bio između dvije vatre”, s ponosom ističe Lindbergh.

Sam je sebi najveći kritičar, veliki je ljubitelj geopolitike, a nekad mu je film

with her staff and associates. Liz was a fantastic woman. Everyone loved her. We all had complete freedom to do what we wished. This was evident in the magazine. It looked very artistic. When all that started, the American Vogue looked like a catalogue compared to Bazaar. Somehow, though, this is understandable. Anna had to sell the magazine to the masses in supermarkets. She could not afford that freedom. What was good is that Bazaar forced Vogue to move more into an artistic direction and Anna understood that very cleverly. There was always a mini war between Conde Nast and Hearst and I was in middle of the firing line.˝ Lindbergh recalls proudly.

He is his own biggest critic, a huge admirer of geopolitics. Once film used to be his biggest passion, even

bio najveća strast. Izgubio je interes za film jer u današnjim produkcijama ne vidi strast i inspiraciju za napretkom i kvalitetnim filmskim rješenjima.

“Nitko mi ništa ne može i ne mora reći, pogotovo kad fotografiram. Kad je dobro, znam da je dobro, a kad nije dobro, jednako tako znam da nije dobro. Nekad je film bio moja velika strast, ali priznat ću vam da danas polako gubim interes za njega. Rad Wima Wendersa posljednje je što me potpuno osvojilo. Senzibilitet Wima Wendersa ili Fritza Langa nešto je s čim sam mogao raditi i u čemu sam se mogao potpuno prepoznati. U današnjim produkcijama ne vidim takvu inspiraciju”, kaže Lindbergh.

PETER LINDBERGH, serija IMAGES OF WOMAN - AMBER VALETTA, Harper’s Bazaar, New York - USA (1993) / KATE MOSS, Harper’s Bazaar, New York - USA (1994) / LINDA EVANGELISTA, Vogue Italy, Paris - France (1988)

though today he’ll say that he is losing interest in film because he does not see inspiration for progress and more quality film solution.

“No one can say or do anything to me, especially when I’m shooting. When it’s good I know it is good and when it’s not good I know it’s not. Film once used to be my big passion, but I’ll admit I’m slowly losing interest in film.

The work of Wim Wenders was the last one that completely sucked me in. The sensibility of Wim Wenders or Fritz Lang is something I was able to work with and something I was able to see myself in. In today’s production I do not see that inspiration˝, says Lindbergh.

It is a great honour to host an artist such as Lindbergh, especially since this is his first exhibition in this part of Europe since 1988 when he exhibited in Vienna, which is also his only independent European exhibition in 2014. Even though this is Lindbergh’s first visit to Zagreb, he has been to Croatia before.

“This is my first visit to Zagreb, but not to Croatia. I was on the coast, in Dubrovnik, but almost 40 years ago in 1975. It was a short business trip at the very beginning of my photography career˝, remembers Lindbergh.

Apart from Zagreb, Lindbergh quite liked the Esplanade for which he said was a beautiful mix of modern and traditional with friendly staff and an exceptional culinary offer.

“The Esplanade is a wonderful hotel and I like how the spirit of the past and tradition are woven into the elegant and modern feel of the hotel. The staff of the hotel makes sure that I’m not missing anything at every moment during my stay and that’s why I’m feeling very comfortable and welcomed. I’m truly enjoying myself!, concludes Lindbergh.

Iznimna je čast ugostiti umjetnika poput Lindbergha, osobito jer je ovo njegova prva izložba u ovom dijelu Europe od 1998., kada je izlagao u Beču, te ujedno i jedina njegova europska samostalna izložba u 2014. godini.

Iako je ovo Lindberghov prvi posjet Zagrebu, u Hrvatskoj je već bio.

“Ovo mi je prvi posjet Zagrebu, ali ne i Hrvatskoj. Bio sam na obali, u Dubrovniku, ali prije gotovo 40 godina; čini mi se 1975. godine. Riječ je o jednom kratkom poslovnom putu, na samom početku moje fotografske karijere”, prisjeća se Lindbergh.

Osim Zagreba, Lindbergha se jako dojmio i hotel Esplanade, za koji je rekao da je prekrasan spoj modernoga i tradicionalnoga, sa susretljivim osobljem i iznimnom gastronomskom ponudom.

“Esplanade je prelijep hotel, sviđa mi se kako je u elegantno i suvremeno ozračje hotela uspješno utkan duh prošlosti i tradicije. Osoblje hotela brine se da mi ništa ne nedostaje, stoga se osjećam iznimno ugodno i dobrodošlo. Uistinu uživam!“ zaključuje Lindbergh.

Where does the interest for aesthetic medicine come from?

D

r. Nikola Milojević, još dok je radio u Londonu, bio je omiljeni estetski liječnik mnogih Hrvatica, a otvaranjem poliklinike u zagrebačkoj Gundulićevoj ulici taj je status samo potvrdio. U Zagreb se vratio nakon gotovo 30 godina života u Londonu, gdje je završio medicinski fakultet, specijalizirao estetsku medicinu te ostvario uspješnu desetogodišnju karijeru.

Što je estetska medicina i po čemu je različita od estetske kirurgije?

Estetska medicina je najnovija grana medicine koja se bavi nekirurškom estetikom, upotrebom botoksa, dermalnih filera, kemijskih pilinga i lasera te obuhvaća sve neinvazivne tretmane. Ta mlada grana medicine još ne postoji kao specijalizacija, ali smatram da je riječ o budućnosti cijele estetike te da će skalpel u službi ljepote, upravo zahvaljujući estetskoj medicini, ubrzo postati stvar prošlosti.

Kako to da vas je zainteresirala estetska medicina?

Od svog oca, dr. Boška Milojevića, doajena estetske medicine u cijeloj istočnoj Europi, naslijedio sam strast i ljubav prema medicini.

Oduvijek sam planirao raditi s njim i jednoga dana preuzeti vođenje njegove poliklinike. Dok sam studirao, on je, nažalost, umro tako da nikada nismo dobili priliku raditi rame uz rame te sam odlučio ostati u Lon-

hile he was working exclusively in London, Dr. Nikola Milojević was the preferred aesthetic doctor of many Croatian ladies and by opening a practice in Gundulićeva Street in Zagreb, his status was further confirmed. He returned to Zagreb after almost 30 years of living in London, where he finished medicine, specialising in aesthetic medicine and where he built a successful 10 year career.

What is aesthetic medicine and how is it different to aesthetic surgery?

To put it in a nutshell, aesthetic medicine represents the newest branch of medicine, which deals with nonsurgical aesthetics, use of Botox, dermal fillers, chemical peeling and laser and it includes all other noninvasive procedures. This young branch of medicine still does not exist as a specialisation, but I think that this is the future of aesthetics, and it is precisely due to aesthetic medicine that the use of the scalpel in service of anti-aging will become a thing of the past.

From my father, Dr. Boško Milojević, a doyen of aesthetic medicine in the whole of Eastern Europe, I inherited the passion and love for medicine.

Since I can remember, I planned to work with him and one day to take over the practise. During my studies, he unfortunately passed away and we never got the chance to work shoulder to shoulder, so I decided to stay in London and affirm myself there in aesthetic medicine.

In a way, I am continuing the pioneering work of my father. Many aesthetic problems, for which aesthetic surgery was necessary before, are today solved non-surgically as is the example of removing bags under eyes or optical reduction of the nose with dermal fillers. Furthermore, we can use Botox, dermal fillers, laser and new medical creams for nonsurgical face lifts. However, protruding ears or a big nose still requires a plastic surgeon.

They call you the Botox King; Are you flattered by that title and do you have a famous individuals as clients?

Yes, they call me the Botox King.

Around 12 years ago in England, I was one of the first aesthetic physicians to start using Botox for ¨ironing out˝ wrinkles and many famous individuals became my patients.

Of course, I can’t divulge their names, because discretion is a very

PROMO

important aspect of my job. I have to emphasise that most of my clients are not famous individuals, but all those men and women who want to work on their appearance, resolve aesthetic irregularities that might bother them and to slow down the ageing process on the face and body.

Which are your favourite treatments and which ones does your polyclinic offer?

It is really Botox, which in the last two decades brought greatest achievement in modern aesthetic and general medicine and which is also the most effective and popular aesthetic treatment in the world. It removes tiny and deep wrinkles, improves facial and eye contours and its effects are visible within a few days, without fear of the scalpel. I often like to say that dermal fillers are best friends of Botox and both are revolutionary. Dermal fillers are a refined tool, which in the right hands of an educated physician give invisible and natural results of youthful appearance or corrections of some imperfections.

As an aesthetic doctor, you very much promote the natural look?

That’s right. As an aesthetic surgeon I think the greatest art is achieving a natural look. My goal is to achieve a rejuvenated look with fewer wrinkles.

After a facial procedure you have to look as natural as possible and in no way to have a frozen or plastic look. It is simply impossible to get someone who is 50 to look 25!

donu i ondje se dokazati u estetskoj medicini. Na neki način tako nastavljam pionirski rad svojega oca. Mnogi estetski problemi za koje je prije bila nužna estetska operacija danas se rješavaju nekirurški, primjerice uklanjanje podočnjaka ili optičko smanjivanje nosa uz pomoć dermalnih filera. Nekirurški facelifting može se učiniti primjenom botoksa, dermalnih filera, laserima ili novim medicinskim kremama. Ali, naravno, klempave uši ili jako velik nos još uvijek trebaju plastičnog kirurga.

Zovu vas i kraljem botoksa, laska li vam to? Jesu li vam neke poznate osobe bile klijenti?

Da, zovu me kraljem botoksa, The Botox King. Prije dvanaestak godina u Engleskoj sam kao jedan od prvih estetskih liječnika počeo koristiti botoks. I mnoge su slavne osobe bili moji pacijenti. Ne smijem otkriti njihova imena jer je diskrecija vrlo važan dio ovog posla. Moram naglasiti da moji klijenti većinom nisu poznate osobe nego žene i muškarci koji žele raditi na svom izgledu, riješiti estetske nepravilnosti koje im smetaju te usporiti djelovanje vremena na svojem licu i tijelu.

Koji su vam najdraži tretmani? Koje tretmane nudi poliklinika?

Botoks, koji je u posljednja dva desetljeća donio najveći napredak u suvremenoj estetskoj i općoj medicini, a ujedno je najdjelotvorniji i najpopularniji estetski tretman u svijetu. Uklanja sitne i duboke bore, poboljšava konture lica i očiju, a njegov je učinak vidljiv u roku od nekoliko dana, bez straha od kirurškog noža. Često volim reći da su dermalnifileri najbolji prijatelj botoksa; svakako su jednako revolucionarni. Dermalni filer je istančan alat koji u rukama educiranog liječnika daje nevidljive i prirodne rezultate pomlađivanja ili pak korekcije pojedinih nesavršenosti.

Uprkos tome što ste estetski liječnik, dosta promovirate prirodan izgled.

Tako je. Kao estetski liječnik, smatram da je najveće umijeće postići prirodan izgled. Moj je cilj poboljšati i osvježiti izgled pacijenta, a bore učiniti što manjima. Nakon zahvata lice mora izgledati što prirodnije, nipošto zamrznuto ili plastično. Jednostavno nije moguće da netko s 50 godina izgleda kao da mu je 25!

LORD OF THE DANCE

Zoltan Papp (Dark Lord) & Andrea Kren (Morrighan)

INTERVJU / INTERVIEW

P

rije više od 18 godina plesni genij Michael Flatley stvorio je irsku glazbeno-plesnu senzaciju Lord of the Dance. Danas gotovo i ne postoji osoba koja nije čula za njih, ali ni kutak svijeta gdje nisu gostovali. Najunosnija plesna trupa u povijesti zabavne industrije nastupala je ispred više od 60 milijuna ljudi u 60 različitih država, na svim kontinentima.

Lord of the Dance s razlogom zovu najboljim plesnim spektaklom na svijetu. Najhvaljenija su plesna trupa svih vremena – od premijernog nastupa u Dublinu 1996. godine ne prestaju obarati rekorde u prodaji ulaznica, i do danas ostaju nenadmašan plesno-glazbeni spoj koji je jedan nacionalni ples uspio pretvoriti u globalnu senzaciju.

Univerzalna priča između dobra i zla ispričana kroz plesne pokrete i odličnu glazbenu podlogu već godinama oduševljava i hrvatsku publiku. S novim koreografijama, scenografijom, kostimima i 40 savršeno uvježbanih plesača, skupina Lord of the Dance u sklopu zadnje turneje, krajem ožujka ove godine, posjetila je Varaždin, Zagreb i Rijeku.

U čemu je tajna uspjeha ovog plesnog ansambla koji i danas privlači milijune ljudi diljem svijeta pokušali smo saznati od dvoje dugogodišnjih članova trupe, Zoltana Pappa i Andree Kren, prilikom njihova boravka u hotelu Esplanade.

Jeste li oduvijek željeli biti plesači irskog plesa? Kako je sve počelo?

PAPP: Počeo sam plesati s osam go-

dina, i to latinoameričke i standardne plesove. Sa 14 godina upisao sam balet i suvremene plesove na mađarskoj plesnoj akademiji. U međuvremenu sam učio i irski ples, da bih 2002. godine otišao u Irsku raditi u jednom manjem showu. Nakon nekog vremena kontaktirao me je tour manager Lord of the Dancea Peter Mersey jer je Michael Flatley izrazio želju vidjeti me kako plešem. Bio sam na audiciji 2005. godine i od tada plešem u ansamblu.

As part of the performance for the Lord of the Dance, we have travelled to all continents and met almost all cultures of the world More than 18 years ago, the dance genius Michael Flatley created an Irish musical dance group Lord of the Dance. Today, there isn’t almost anyone who hasn’t heard of them, but also a corner of the world where they haven’t appeared. The most lucrative tour in history of entertainment has appeared in front of more than 60 million people in 60 different countries on all continents.

It’s with good reason why Lord of the Dance is called the best dance spectacle in the world. The most highly praised tour of all time, since its premier in Dublin in 1996 continues to break records for ticket sales and to this day remains an unsurpassed musical dance production, which has been able to transform a national dance into a global sensation.

The universal story about good and evil told through dance movements and beautiful music has been delighting Croatian audiences for years. With new choreography, set design, costumes and 40 perfectly trained dancers, Lord of the Dance visited, at the end of March this year, Varaždin, Zagreb and Rijeka as part of their last tour.

As to what is the secret to this dance ensemble, which today attracts millions of people around

the world, we tried to find out from two long serving members of the group, Zoltan Papp and Andrea Kren during their stay at the Esplanade hotel.

Did you always want to be an Irish dance performer? How did it all begin?

PAPP: I started dancing when I was

eight years old to Latin American tunes and standard dances. At 14, I enrolled into ballet and modern dance at the Hungarian dance academy. In the meantime I’ve learnt Irish dance and in 2002 I went to Ireland to take part in a minor show. After some time I was contacted by the Lord of the

Dance tour manager Peter Mersey because Michael Flatley expressed a wish to see me dance. I auditioned in 2005 and since then I’m dancing in the ensemble.

KREN: I also started dancing rather early at age 6. First, I started with the Hungarian folk dance and Irish dance came several years later. I watched Michael Flatley and that was the main reason I actually started. Being a part of the ensemble is a realisation of a dream. However, that entire journey from a small time performer in folk dances in a local performing group and then to an Irish dance school in Hungary and then finally to where I am now has been a long road filled with sacrifice and hard work.

How difficult is to become a member of the Lord of the Dance team? Are there auditions?

KREN: Yes, there are auditions, but also a huge number of talented people who want to perform in the group and join the show. I consider myself lucky because I was selected for the Feet of Flames project, which was also my audition for the Lord of the Dance. It all went down like this: we had two weeks of trials, with each lasting more than 10 hours, but even after all that I wasn’t a hundred percent sure I would stay in the ensemble after that performance. In the end, however, I was accepted and since then I have been performing. The competition is fierce and only the best remain in the show.

Nekoliko je stvari koje se spajaju u ovom showu – irska kultura, koja je uistinu fascinantna, jedinstvenost i preciznost 40 plesača, kao i predivna glazba te više od 600 različitih kostima KREN: Također sam počela plesa-

ti prilično rano, sa šest godina. Prvo sam krenula s mađarskim narodnim plesovima, a irski ples došao je na red nekoliko godina nakon toga. Gledala sam Michaela Flatleya i to je bio glavni razlog zašto sam uopće počela plesati. To što sam sada dio ovog ansambla za mene je ostvarenje snova. Ali cijeli put od plesačice narodnih plesova u lokalnoj plesnoj grupi preko plesne škole irskog plesa u Mađarskoj do danas dugačak je put pun odricanja i napornog rada.

Koliko je teško postati član Lord of the Dance postave? Postoje li audicije?

KREN: Da, postoje audicije, ali i velik broj talentiranih ljudi koji žele plesati u trupi i pridružiti se showu. Ja se smatram sretnicom jer sam bila odabrana za projekt Feet of Flames, a to je ujedno bio i moj nastup na audiciji za Lord of the Dance. To je izgledalo ovako: imali smo dva tjedna probi koje su trajale više od 10 sati, ali ni nakon svega toga nisam mogla biti sto posto sigurna da će me ostaviti u ansamblu nakon tog nastupa. Ali ipak sam primljena, i od tada nastupam. Konkurencija je jaka i samo najbolji ostaju u showu.

Turneje su naporne, svaki dan ste u drugom gradu, većinu vremena na putu, a ostatak na nastupima.

Ipak, koje su dobre strane turneje?

PAPP: Bez showa i turneja ne bismo

mogli toliko putovati niti vidjeti toliko mjesta na ovom predivnom svijetu. U sklopu nastupa za Lord of the Dance

The tours are very straining, every day you are in a different city, most of the time on the road and the rest performing.

What are the upsides of the tour?

PAPP: Without shows and tours

we would not have the possibility to travel nor see so many places in this beautiful world. As part of the Lord of the Dance, we have travelled to all continents and most countries and also met almost all cultures of the world; from Australia to North America, from South America to Asia and Europe.

You spend most of your time on tours?

What is your tempo like when you are not on tour?

KREN: Our responsibility is to stay in top shape all the time and that requires time even when we’re not on tour. Rest time after a tour lasts only a few days after which we go back to training by going to the gym and similar things. Given the fact that the ensemble comes

INTERVJU / INTERVIEW

from all parts of Ireland and rest of the world, we have to be very disciplined and responsible because form has to be at a certain level prior to the next tour.

A few weeks before beginning, the entire group gathers and practises together in order to make sure everything is ready for the shows.

How is it working with Michael Flatley?

Why is Lord of the Dance so popular?

PAPP: There are a few things

that this show merges; Irish culture, which is truly fascinating, then the uniqueness and precision of 40 performers, but also beautiful music and over 600 different types of costumes.

This is a complete experience for the viewer and that is what I think makes it so successful and why so many people keep coming back to see it.

PAPP: He is first and foremost

a professional. When involved in that type of work, your priorities are to offer the best possible to the audience. Lord of the Dance is the best show on the planet and only the best can be on stage, so Michael cannot accept anything less than that from every member of the group. Conversely, he is very friendly towards us and shows an interest for each one of us and it is important to him that we are well and motivated. He is truly phenomenal as a person and I believe that is what makes him so successful.

Which is your most favourite dance act?

KREN: For me personally the

most favourite act is the final one, especially the a capella sequence. This is when we get the biggest reaction from the public because they feel the performance is at its peak, something like a rock concert.

PAPP: I’d agree with Andrea about the final act, but my favourite is of course my solo performance, in the first half – when the bad guy shows up on stage

proputovali smo sve kontinente i većinu država, ali i upoznali gotovo sve kulture na svijetu; od Australije i Sjeverne Amerike, preko Južne Afrike do Azije i Europe.

Većinu vremena provodite na turnejama. Kakav vam je tempo kada niste na turneji?

KREN: Naša je odgovornost biti u odličnoj formi cijelo vrijeme, a to podrazumijeva i vrijeme kada nismo na turneji. Odmor nakon turneje traje najviše nekoliko dana, nakon toga se vraćamo vježbanju, odlazimo u teretanu i slično. S obzirom na to da ansambl dolazi iz raznih krajeva Irske i svijeta, potrebno je biti iznimno discipliniran i odgovoran jer moramo biti u izvrsnoj formi uoči sljedeće turneje. Otprilike tjedan dana prije početka cijela se trupa okuplja i počinjemo vježbati za nastupe.

Kako je raditi s Michaelom Flatleyjem?

PAPP: On je prije svega profesi-

onalac. Kada se baviš takvim poslom, tvoj je prioritet publici pružiti najbolje. Lord of the Dance najbolji je show na svijetu i samo najbolji mogu biti njegovi članovi, a to i je osobina koju Michael traži od svakog člana trupe – da budu najbolji.

On je uvijek vrlo prijateljski nastrojen prema nama, pokazuje interes za svakoga od nas i bitno mu je da se dobro osjećamo i da smo motivirani. On je uistinu fenomenalna osoba i vjerujem da ga to čini uspješnim.

Zašto je Lord of the Dance toliko popularan?

Koja vam je najdraža plesna točka?

KREN: Meni je najdraža posljednja točka, pogotovo dio s a capella sekvencom. Tada od publike dobivamo najveću reakciju jer i oni osjećaju da je nastup na vrhuncu, nešto poput rock koncerta.

PAPP: Složio bih se s Andreom oko posljednje točke, da je tada nastup na vrhuncu, ali moja omiljena

točka je ipak moj solo nastup, u prvoj polovici – kada se negativac prvi put pojavljuje na pozornici. Dark Lord prvo ima svoj solo, a kasnije mu se na pozornici pridružuju i drugi plesači. Tada najviše mogu biti svoj.

Kako vam se sviđa hotel Esplanade?

How do you like the Hotel Esplanade?

PAPP: Dobrodošlica je bila feno-

PAPP: The welcome has been fantastic,

menalna, sobe i kreveti su odlični, mogu reći da je ovo jedan od najboljih tjedana na turneji što se tiče smještaja i udobnosti. Dan u ovakvom hotelu potpuno nas opušta.

Atmosfera je također odlična, bili smo u baru na kasnoj večeri i piću nakon nastupa u Varaždinu i oduševljeni smo uslugom.

Kren: Imala sam osjećaj kao da sam dobila jedan dan odmora iako imamo nastupe dan za danom.

Kada si u ovakvom okruženju, osjećaš se opuštenije i odmorenije, pogotovo uz ovako susretljivo osoblje.

Tour manager Peter Mersey «Odsjedao sam u bezbroj hotela u cijelom svijetu i mogu reći da je hotel Esplanade jedan od najboljih. Iako smo došli kasno, sve nas je već čekalo: ključevi, prelijepe sobe, prilika da večeramo iako je već bilo jako kasno.

Osoblje je jako ljubazno, a i inače se odlično osjećamo u Zagrebu i u hotelu Esplanade. Atmosfera je opuštena, a oduševilo me što ovaj prekrasni hotel odiše poviješću: svojim izgledom, uslugom i vrijednostima, što je vrlo rijetko u današnje vrijeme. Mi odsjedamo i u vrhunskim hotelima s pet zvjezdica, ali to su obično korporativni hoteli koji nemaju dušu. Biti u hotelu s dugom tradicijom čak i samo dan ili dva zaista je posebno. «

for the first time. The Dark Lord first has his solo and then later when other performers join him. That’s when I really get to be myself.

the rooms and beds are great and currently we have one of the best weeks on our tour when it comes to accommodation and comfort. For us, a day in a hotel like this is like wellness. The atmosphere is excellent, we were at the bar late one evening for a drink after the Varaždin show and were thrilled with the service.

Kren: I had a feeling like I got a day of rest despite having performances every day.

When you are in such a surrounding, you feel much more relaxed and refreshed, especially with such friendly staff.

Tour Manager Peter Mersey

«I’ve stayed in countless hotels across the world and I can safely say that this is one of the best I’ve been to. Even though we arrived late, everything was waiting for us; keys, beautiful rooms, chance to have dinner despite being really late. The staff is very polite and overall we feel great in Zagreb and at the Esplanade. The atmosphere is relaxing and what I’m really thrilled with is how this hotel exudes history, which is evident in its appearance, service and values and that is really rare nowadays. We do stay in top 5 star hotels, but they are usually corporate hotels with no soul. To be in a hotel with such a long tradition, even for a day or two is really rare. «

Na krajnjem sjeveru Hrvatske, omeđeno rijekama Murom i Dravom, smjestilo se Međimurje – područje čiji zapadni dio dotiče obronke Alpa, dok su mu središnji i istočni dio ravnica. Međimurje se naziva i Hortusom Croatiae – Vrtom Hrvatske. Okosnica mu je grad Čakovec, koji je prometno središte, središte obrazovanja, privrede, sudstva i administrativne aktivnosti, a uz njega su još gradovi Prelog i Mursko Središće. Višestoljetni utjecaj mađarske kulture rezultirao je oblikovanjem jezika, glazbe i običaja Međimurja. Nadaleko je poznat zvuk tamburica, cimbala i žvegla – puhaćeg glazbala izrađenog od drveta bazge, javora, lijeske, šljive, trešnje ili kestena.

Mađarski ples čardaš utjecao je i na najpoznatiji ples sjeverozapadne Hrvatske – drmeš. Pleše se uz instrumentalnu pratnju u velikom ili manjem kolu ili u parovima.

the northernmost part of Croatia, surrounded by rivers Mura and Drava lies Medjimurje – a place whose western part touches the foothills of the Alpes, while its central and eastern part is made up of plains. Medjimurje carries the nickname Hortus Croatia, which means the garden of Croatia. Its central piece and backbone is the city of Čakovec, which is also the transit hub, a centre for education, commerce, judiciary and administrative activities. Next to it are also the towns of Prelog and Mursko Središće. The centuries long influence of Hungarian culture shaped the language, music and traditions of Medjimurje. It’s largely known for the sound of tamburica, cymbal and traditional flute žvegla – a wind instrument made from trees of elder, maple, plum, cherry or chestnut. The Hungarian dance čardaš also influenced the most famous folklore dance of northwestern Croatia – drmeš. It is danced to instrumental music in a big circle, a smaller circle or in pairs. As a zone of great military significance between Vienna and Istanbul, Medjimurje has through history been under the rule of many different forces. The most influential however, was the rule of the Zrinski princes. The Zrinski family has made a mark on Croatian and European history through their wars with the Turks, but amongst the Zrinski family there were also famous poets, cooks, politicians and intellectuals.

Their glorious history is today evoked through the attractive historical military unit called Zrinska Guard. Nikola Zrinski, the great grandson of Nikola Šubić Zrinski was a Croatian ruler, poet, intellectual and politician. He was the ruler of the famous uprising known as the Zrinski-Frankopan uprising, which was the result of discontent with politics ran by the Vienna court. Soon after, on 18 November 1664, Nikola Zrinski dies under unex-

Historical monuments and preserved river

The old town of Čakovec or the old Zrinski town is a fort in the centre of the town, which was first mentioned in the 13th century. The Čakovec old town consists of outer defence walls, a bastion, which make up a planned five point shape and were constructed in the 16th and 17th century.

These bastions are unique in Croatia because they are not made of earth, but of brick.

The other important monument in Čakovec is the Franciscan church and convent on Franjevački Square.

The convent as we know it today was built gradually between 1702 and 1750. The church of St. Nikola in its interior has polychrome baroque inventory and the outside is adorned by facades of the so called Pauline type, which is decorated by statues of saints. The bell tower, also in baroque style, dates back to the mid 18th century.

If you are heading to the northernmost point of Croatia, you will come across Mill on the river Mura. It is an impressive wooden river mill, which

Nikola Zrinski, praunuk Nikole Šubića Zrinskoga, bio je hrvatski ban, pjesnik, intelektualac i političar.

This Medjimurje landscape is protected under the Regulation of the Medjimurje County from 18 April 2001.The Mura is one of the last significantly protected lowland rivers, especially in its lower course because in Austria there are many hydroelectric dams operating on it.

Povijesni spomenici i očuvana rijeka

Stari grad Čakovec ili Stari grad Zrinskih utvrda je u centru grada, a prvi put se spominje još u 13. stoljeću.

Sastoji se od vanjskih obrambenih zidina, bastiona, koje čine tlocrtno peterokutni oblik te su u današnjem obliku izgrađene većinom u 16. i 17. stoljeću. Ti bastioni jedinstveni su u Hrvatskoj, jer nisu zemljani nego su sagrađeni od opeke.

Drugi važan povijesni spomenik Čakovca je franjevačka crkva i samostan na Franjevačkom trgu. Današnji samostan sagrađen je između 1702. i

1750. godine. Crkva sv. Nikole u unutrašnjosti ima polikromirani barokni inventar, a izvana je krasi reprezentativno pročelje tzv. pavlinskog tipa, koje je ukrašeno kipovima svetaca.

Zvonik, također u baroknom stilu, potječe iz sredine 18. stoljeća.

Uputite li se prema najsjevernijoj točki Hrvatske, naići ćete na mlin na Muri. To je impresivan riječni drveni mlin koji se nalazi kraj malog naselja Žabnik. Objekt je tradicijske graditeljske baštine u Hrvatskoj, ali i šire.

Mlin je nalik na mlinove kakvih je u prošlom stoljeću bilo na desetke uz rijeku Muru, a izgradili su ga domaći majstori. Novac su osigurale razne institucije i Međimurska županija, a

Aromatic wines and traditional recipes

Even though small in area, Medjimurje is regarded as one of the major wine regions. It produces aromatic, playful and young wines as well as mature predicated wines. There are around twenty white wine sorts growing here, the value of which was confirmed by many international awards, and also a few red continental sorts too. They mainly include Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Silvaner Green, Eden Riesling, Muscat, Pinot Dark, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pušipel – the only autochthonous wine sort of Medjimurje.

Pušipel is a light wine, very easy on the pallet, fruity and with citrusy aromas and graphite-like mineral tones.

RepoRtaža / REPORT

The wine is a liquid love and it lives where there is harmony, peace and commitment to work. This is Medjimurje!

The lesser values are not imposing – they need to be discovered! This maxim is contained in the smallest wine region in the northernmost part of Croatia. The unforgettable landscape lace of upper Medjimurje, at 300 metres above sea level is adorned by steep hills with rounded peaks, winding paths, idyllic villages and thousands of carefully manicured grapevines. In this ambience you can meet a family whose vineyard and cellars are full of passion and artistry and where you can experience attractive smells, refreshing tastes and wonderful aromas. The wine is a liquid love and it lives where there is harmony, peace and commitment to work. This is Medjimurje! A place where friendly wine is produced, easy to drink, easy to understand and wine that loves food. In this small, dense and rich space, on the well-accessible and marked wine route there are over 50 family wineries waiting for you. Turoš cow’s cheese, black pumpkin oil, Tiblice style traditional meat, river perch and Medjimurje style pie gibanica are specialties offered at around 50 comfortable taverns made according to traditional recipes.

The Medjimurje table also includes must-have fresh soups, meat and fish dishes and venison. In order to further experience culinary delicacies, there are also ethno-gastro festivals like the Urbanovo Days in May.

A destination for relaxation and recreation

Medjimurje is best toured by bicycle and in only a few hours you can see the various landscapes and routes.

Vino je tekuća ljubav, a ona živi ondje gdje ima sklada, harmonije, mira i predanosti radu. To je Međimurje! koordinirala ih je Ekološka organizacija EOL. Oko mlina, u idiličnom prirodnom ambijentu, uređen je Mlinarov poučni put. Uz šetnju prirodom, taj put nudi i mnoštvo zanimljivih podataka o prirodnoj i tradicijskoj baštini prostora značajnog krajobraza rijeke Mure. Krajolik rijeke Mure u Međimurju zaštićen je uredbom Međimurske županije od 18. travnja 2001. godine. Mura je jedna od posljednjih očuvanih nizinskih rijeka, i to posebno u svojem donjem toku, jer je u Austriji pregrađena brojnim hidroelektranama.

Aromatična vina i autohtoni recepti

Iako površinom malo, Međimurje je jedna od važnijih vinskih regija. Daje aromatična, razigrana i mlada vina te odležana predikatna vina. Tu raste dvadesetak bijelih sorti grožđa, čiju vrijednost potvrđuje sve veći broj međunarodnih priznanja, ali i nekoliko crvenih kontinentalnih sorti. Prednjače sauvignon, chardonnay, silvanac zeleni, rajski rizling, muškati, pinot crni, cabernet sauvignon i pušipel – jedina autohtona vinska sorta Međimurja.

Pušipel je lagano bijelo pitko vino, voćno-citrusne arome s grafitnim mineralnim tonovima.

Male se vrijednosti ne nameću – njih treba otkrivati. U toj maksimi sadržana je sva draž najmanje vinske regije na krajnjem sjeveru Hrvatske. Neponovljivu pejsažnu čipku gornjeg Međimurja na 300 metara nadmorske visine kreiraju mala strma brda sa zaobljenim vrhovima, vijugavi puteljci, idilična sela i na tisuće brižno njegovanih trsova.

U takvom ambijentu možete upoznati obitelji u čijim vinogradima i podrumima, s mnogo strasti i umijeća, nastaju atraktivni mirisi, osvježavajući okusi i sjajne arome. Vino je tekuća ljubav, a ona živi ondje gdje ima sklada, har-

monije, mira i predanosti radu. To je Međimurje! Kraj u kojem nastaju prijateljska vina – laka za pijenje i razumijevanje te ona koja vole hranu. Na malom i sadržajima zgusnutom prostoru na izrazito pristupačnoj i dobro označenoj vinskoj cesti čeka vas pedesetak obiteljskih vinarija.

Sir turoš od kravljeg mlijeka, crno bučino ulje, meso iz tiblice, riječni smuđ i međimurska gibanica specijaliteti su koji se pripremaju u pedesetak ambijentalnih gostionica po autohtonim i trendovskim receptima. Na međimurskom stolu neizostavne su sezonske svježe juhe, mesna ili riblja jela i divljač. Kako biste doživjeli sve okuse Međimurja, tu su eno-gastro festivalski dani Urbanovo, u svibnju.

Destinacija za opuštanje i rekreaciju

Međimurje je najbolje proći biciklom, a u samo nekoliko sati mogu se razgledati reljefno i sadržajno različite rute. Tome pogoduje rijedak automobilski promet sporednim cesticama, koje prolaze lijepim krajolicima, a povezuju spomenike, vinske kuće, pansione, odmorišta i vidikovce. Sve rute označene su plavim putokazima.

Međimurje je, kao rijetko koja hrvatska regija, prekograničnim biciklističkim rutama povezano sa Slovenijom i Austrijom te Mađarskom pa je tako povoljna startna pozicija za sve koji vole voziti na duge staze. Off-road rute namijenjene su onima koji vole osjetiti prirodni ambijent, ali i dašak adrenalina. Prolaze kroz šume i livade uz obale rijeka Mure i Drave, a podloge od kvalitetno nabijenog šljunka odlične su za MTB ili trekking bicikle.

otel Esplanade, najelegantniji zagrebački hotel, mjesto je kao stvoreno za romantičnu svadbenu svečanost. Kombinacija duge povijesti, impresivnog okružja, prekrasne arhitekture i profinjenog unutarnjeg uređenja na prvi je pogled osvojila Eddyja Bosnara i Dinu Ćorić, simpatične mladence koji su svoju raskošnu svadbenu svečanost održali upravo na ovom mjestu. „Svi mladenci sanjaju o savršenom danu vjenčanja, a tako je bilo i s nama“, rekla je Dina. „Esplanade je zaista posebna građevina, više je od hotela, isijava nekom posebnom energijom, toplinom, šarmom i stilom, i to je upravo ono što smo željeli osjetiti na dan svoga vjenčanja. Željeli smo doživjeti jedno prekrasno iskustvo koje će i nama i našim uzvanicima zauvijek ostati u sjećanju.“ Eddy i Dina, te njegova obitelj, žive u inozemstvu pa se hotel Esplanade činio kao najbolji izbor za vjenčanje. „Suprugova obitelj dolazi iz Sydneyja pa smo stranim uzvanicima nastojali dočarati i predstaviti Zagreb na najbolji i najljepši mogući način, a vjerujem da smo u tome i uspjeli. Svi su bili oduševljeni, a hotel Esplanade ostavio je poseban dojam. Uz sav glamur koji se gotovo cijelo stoljeće veže za njega, hotel je zadržao nepretencioznost, srednjoeuropski šarm prošlih vremena i toplinu. Već pri samom ulazu u raskošno, mramorom obloženo predvorje dočekuje vas srdačna dobrodošlica, i zadovoljstvo je prepustiti se tom osjećaju te uživati u najljepšem danu svoga života. Dio te topline svakako dolazi od djelatnika hotela pa je nemoguće ne spomenuti susretljivost i profesionalnost gospođice Čuturić i legendarnog gospodina Friščića, koji su sve naše dvojbe i pitanja riješili u trenu. Uz njihovu pomoć, kao i uz pomoć moje drage prijateljice Sarah Josipović, vjenčanje i sve detalje vezane za nj organizirali smo u nekoliko tjedana“, ispričala nam je Dina, oduševljeno dodavši: “Veličanstvena Smaragdna dvorana uz impresivno plavo i

he Esplanade is undoubtedly Zagreb’s most elegant hotel – a place perfectly matched for a romantic wedding ceremony. The intriguing combination of long history, impressive surroundings, beautiful decor and refined interior design were the factors that simply won over Eddy Bosnar and Dina Ćorić, lovely newlyweds who held their lavish wedding ceremony precisely at this location.

“Every engaged couple dreams of the perfect wedding day, just as we imagined our own wedding.”, Dina explained as she began to share with us her experience; “The Esplanade is an extremely special building, far more than a hotel, sharing a certain special energy, warmth, charm and style, and that’s exactly what we wanted to absorb on the day of our wedding. We wanted to capture a wonderful experience that we would treasure and remember throughout our lives, and provide our guests with an event they’ll remember.”

Eddy and Dina live abroad, as do his family, and so the Esplanade Hotel seemed the number one choice for the wedding location. “My husband’s family come from Sydney, so we tried to present Zagreb to our foreign guests in the best and most beautiful way, and I believe we managed to do it. Everyone had an amazing time as the Esplanade left a special impression.

With centuries of glamour, the hotel retains its unpretentious central European charm and hospitable warmth of times gone by.

Already at the luxurious entrance, as you step forward into the marble foyer, as we were warmly welcomed to the hotel, we were suddenly overwhelmed with that amazing feeling ready to enjoy the most beautiful day of your lives. The hotel staff certainly played their hospitable role during our glorious occasion and so it’s impossible not to mention the kindness and professionalism of Miss Čuturić and the legendary Mr. Friščić, who always magically resolved all of our questions and doubts in an instant. Thanks to them, and the help of my dear friend Sarah Josipović, we managed to organize our wedding and all the details and decisions related to our day, in a few weeks.” Dina enthusiastically explained as she recalled where the reception took place: “The magnificent Emerald Ballroom with its impressive blue and purple lighting along with a starrydome ceiling could not have been a better setting for a wedding reception. Round tables, glittering silverware and crystal glasses were all special details that made this day so outstanding. Our tables were decorated with luxurious silver candlesticks, low floral decorations created by a well-known Zagreb florist and modern Starck chairs simply created all the magic we wanted to capture as a couple on their big day. “ The newlyweds confidently left the choice of delicacies to the young, yet skilled Ana Grgić, Chef de cuisine. “The menu consisted of six courses of delicious meals which completely thrilled our guests. The chef who has a passion for stylistic presentation, the perfection of taste and respect for high standards, promised us the ultimate gastronomic experience - and it certainly was!

Our guests from abroad were able to really experience and enjoy Croatia and Zagreb through the food, as they were presented numerous Croatian delicacies, from Pag

Okrugli stolovi, srebrno posuđe, kristalne čaše i detalji toliko su posebni da nisu zahtijevali dodatno uređenje. Naše su stolove ukrašavali raskošni srebrni svijećnjaci, niske cvjetne dekoracije poznatih zagrebačkih cvjećarki, a moderni Starck stolci dodali su posljednji štih čaroliji koju smo željeli postići.“ Izbor delicija mladenci su s punim povjerenjem prepustili mladoj, ali iskusnoj Ani Grgić, chefu de cuisine. „Meni je sadržavao šest sljedova ukusnih jela i potpuno je oduševio naše uzvanike. Šefica kuhinje teži stilskoj prezentaciji, savršenstvu okusa i drži do visokih standarda, što nam je obećavalo vrhunsko gastronomsko iskustvo. A tako je i bilo. Naši gosti iz inozemstva i kroz hranu su mogli doživjeti Hrvatsku i Zagreb, jer su se na stolu našle brojne hrvatske delicije, od paškog sira i brancina do kultnih Esplanadinih štrukli.

Čak i žene, koje su ‘zastrašene’ pojmom konjaka kao isključivo muškog pića, uživaju u Hennessy Fine de Cognacu Hennessy konjak poslužen uz luksuzan desert senzualan je i suvremen užitak. Hennessy je poznat po kreativnom spajanju okusa vrhunskog konjaka s čokoladom i gurmanskim poslasticama. Konjak i čokolada – par usavršen za uživanje. S njihovim okusima, razvijenima pažljivim miješanjem, oni su kao stvoreni jedno za drugo. Poput braka stvorenog od čistog zadovoljstva.

Hotel Esplanade, najprestižniji zagrebački hotel, već je dugo poznat po svojoj vrhunskoj ponudi pića svjetskih brendova, ali i vina hrvatskih vinarija.

U hotelu se svake godine događaju razni festivali hrane i pića, a restoran Zinfandel’s i Esplanade bar imaju izvrsnu ponudu svjetskih i domaćih brendova, od jednostavnih do zahtjevnih.

U hotelu Esplanade popularna je i kultura sljubljivanja hrane i pića, što je zapravo jedan od najpoznatijih užitaka. To je prepoznao i Hennessy ambasador Jean-Michel Cochet te je posjetio Zagreb i hotel Esplanade.

Hennessy cognac is served with a luxurious dessert; it is a sensual and modern indulgence. Hennessy is well known for creatively merging the taste of top quality cognac with chocolate and gourmet delicacies. Cognac and chocolate – a perfect match for enjoying. With its tastes, developed through careful mixing, cognac and chocolate are made for each other. Like a marriage made from pure pleasure.

The Hotel Esplanade, the most prestigious Zagreb hotel, is well known for its top quality selection of some of the finest world beverage brands including wines from Croatian wine cellars.

Each year at the hotel there are various festivals of food and drink and the Zinfandel’s restaurant and Esplanade bar have an amazing selection of international and local brands from the simple to the more complicated ones.

The hotel Esplanade also boasts a

popular culture of merging food and drinks as one of the most enjoyable indulgences. This is exactly what Hennessy’s ambassador Jean-Michel Cochet recognised when he visited Zagreb and the Hotel Esplanade. He held several workshops on the production and culture of enjoying cognac at the Esplanade’s Vinodol restaurant and also in the premises of Miva Wine Gallery.

The Hennessy distillery was founded

by Richard Hennessy, an Irish officer in the service King Louis XV way back in 1765 in the French province of Cognac. Hennessy cognac has through the years become more famous and its reputation for quality started to spread outside France so that today it is one of the most recognised and most prestigious drinks in the world.

That is why Hennessy created the so called contemporary type of cognac, which is enjoyed by younger generations in very trendy places that offer rich nightlife. ˝Even women, who are ‘apprehensive’ of the concept of cognac as a purely male drink are enjoying Hennessy Fine de Cognac˝joked Cochet.

Even though he visited Zagreb as a student, he feels like this is his first visit to our capital city. He admits that everything has changed, but it has retained the charm and beauty in which everyone enjoys. He might even come back privately to some of our seaside places. We found out that

Održao je nekoliko stručnih edukacija o proizvodnji i kulturi ispijanja konjaka, i to u hotelu Esplanade, restoranu Vinodol te u prostorijama Miva galerije vina.

Destileriju Hennessy konjaka osnovao je Richard Hennessy, irski časnik u službi vojske Luja XV., i to davne 1765. godine u francuskoj pokrajini Cognac.

Hennessy konjak s godinama je postajao sve poznatiji, a njegova kvaliteta počela se širiti i izvan granica Francuske, da bi danas bio jedno od najpoznatijih i najprestižnijih pića u svijetu.

Oduševljen gradom i hotelom, Hennessy ambasador rado je odvojio i nekoliko trenutaka svog prepunog rasporeda za naš magazin Esplanade View. Tom prilikom rekao je da je u sadašnjem trenutku u svijetu Hennessy jedan od najpoznatijih konjaka. U

The taste of Hennessy enriches chocolate and vice versa Croatia enjoys a strong reputation in France as a place for holiday and rest.

He was also impressed by the hotel Esplanade and in particular he praised the bar, saying it is exactly as bars should be – wooden, massive, as it was made for sipping cognac after a hard day of work.

Okus Hennessyja oplemenjuje čokoladu, a vrijedi i obratno njemu uživaju i poslovni ljudi i urbana mladež. Upravo zato Hennessy je stvorio takozvani suvremeni tip konjaka u kojem uživaju i mlađe generacije na vrlo popularnim mjestima koja nude bogat noćni život. „Čak i žene, koje su ‘zastrašene’ pojmom konjaka kao isključivo muškog pića, uživaju u Hennessy Fine de Cognacu“, šali se Cochet.

Iako je Zagreb posjetio kao student, osjeća se kao da mu je baš ovo prvi posjet našem glavnom gradu. Priznaje da se sve promijenilo, ali i dalje zadržalo šarm i ljepotu u čemu, naravno, uživa. Možda se čak i vrati u Hrvatsku, ali u privatnom aranžmanu, u neko od naših priobalnih mjesta. Saznali smo tako da Hrvatska ima dobru reputaciju u Francuskoj, kao izvrsno mjesto za ljetovanje i odmor.

Vrhunac posjeta Jean-Michela Cocheta Hrvatskoj bio je Hennessy party u popularnom baru Time. Ljubitelji tog vrhunskog pića okupili su se u ugodnoj atmosferi kako bi uživali u dobrom društvu, odličnoj glazbi i jedinstvenoj atmosferi uz čašu vrhunskog konjaka i Hennessy koktela.

Ono najslađe od razgovora ostavili smo za sam kraj. Vrući čokoladni kolač ili praline? I to u spoju s Hennessy konjakom. „Kombinacija Hennessyja i čokolade zapravo je vrlo prirodna“, kaže Cochet. Okus Hennessyja oplemenjuje čokoladu, a vrijedi i obratno.

Hennessy Paradis, s aromom tartufa i suhog cvijeća, stapa se u božanstven okus s mliječnom čokoladom i njezinim kremastim notama vanilije i karamele. U spoju s čokoladom ipak se najbolje snalazi Hennessy X.O. te obilježjima svog okusa stvara izvrstan spoj teksture i arome.

Jean-Michel Cochet upoznao je i osoblje hotela te se oduševio jelima šefice kuhinje Ane Grgić, koja u svojoj kuhinji upotrebljava Hennessy konjak.

Ana Grgić u Esplanadi je već dugi niz godina, a zbog svojeg iznimno kulinarskog znanja, ambicije i profesionalnosti, kao i zavidnih kulinarskih vještina, 2012. godine preuzela je poziciju chefa de cuisine luksuznog Zinfandel’s restorana, šarmantnog Le Bistroa te Esplanade cateringa.

The highlight of Jean-Michel Cochet’s visit to Croatia was Hennessy’s party in the popular TIME bar. Admirers of this exquisite drink gathered in the pleasant atmosphere in order to enjoy great company, excellent music and unique atmosphere with a glass of cognac and Hennessy cocktails.

The sweetest part of the conversation we saved for the end. Hot chocolate cake or pralines? Together with a Hennessy cognac. ˝A combination of Hennessy and chocolate is very natural˝, says Cochet. The taste of Hennessy enriches chocolate and vice versa. Hennessy Paradis, with a truffles aroma and dried flowers, merges into a divine taste with milky chocolate and its creamy notes of vanilla and caramel. With chocolate, however, best goes Hennessy X.O. and with its characteristic taste, it produces a happy union of texture and aroma.

Jean-Michel Cochet also got acquainted with the hotel staff and was fascinated with meals from the head chef Ana Grgić who herself uses Hennessy cognac in her kitchen.

Ana Grgić has been in Esplanade kitchen for years. Due to her outstanding level of knowledge in the kitchen, her ambitious nature, professionalism and masterful culinary skills, she gracefully took charge of managing both the luxurious Zinfandel’s and the charming Le Bistro restaurants and equally, Esplanade Catering in 2012.

U ovoj sezoni sve se mijenja – bit ćemo obasuti kratkim i kompaktnim frizurama. One su sada sasvim prirodne i jednostavne. Proljeće i ljeto na scenu donosi i neke nove, bajkovite boje. Velike kozmetičke kuće savjetuju hladne tonove, pepeljaste boje ili boje leda, a kao kontrast njima u nekim kolekcijama pojavljuju se tonovi ružičaste i crvene boje.Tonovi su to koji se sve više sviđaju i elegantnim ženama koje su sve hrabrije u odabiru boja. Moramo biti precizni, nema sredine, trend je vrlo precizno definiran, ili će biti iznimno prirodan ili jako stilistički dorađen.„ Kao dopuna novim bojama, formi i volumenu ovo proljeće bogatije je i za Avedine Tremane izravnavanja i sjaj kose.

Ljetni look na plažama bit će dosta androgen, niske crte sa strane zalizane gelom bit će savršeno osvježenje. To je forma inspirirana ženama koje je ovjekovječio poznati fotograf Helmut Newton.

Duga kosa u kontrastu sa spomenutim bit će trendi ako bude uhvaćena u neurednu punđu ili šinjon.

by Davor Perman, a trainer of the American company Aveda, with the readers of the Esplanade View. “The spring-summer trends are full of refreshment and we have to pluck what’s new in the air„ This stylist with an envious European career speaks with inspiration. „After a lot of volume, which dominated hair care in the past few seasons, everything changes in this season, so we will we swamped with short and compact hair styles. They are now completely natural and simple. Spring and summer bring on to the scene some new, fairytale-like colours, for example, big cosmetic companies advise cooler tones, ashy colours or colours of ice and as a contrast to them in some collections there are pink and red colour tones appearing. These tones are now being more preferred by elegant women who are increasingly more courageous in their selection of colours. We have to be precise, there is no middle ground, the trend is very precisely defined so, it will be very natural or very stylishly wrought.

Complementing the new colours, form and volume, this spring is also richer for Aveda’s treatments of ironing and sparkling hair.

The summer look on the beaches will be very much androgenic with low slick gelled side lines, but will provide perfect refreshment.

This form is inspired by women who were eternally captured by the famous photographer Helmut Newton.

And long hair in contrast with the above mentioned trend will be trendy if captured in one messy bun or chignon.

Osam simpatičnih djevojaka izvrsno se slažu i uvijek se podupiru te kažu da im je pozitivna radna atmosfera i međusobno prijateljstvo najveća motivacija za rad

Za vrijeme odsjedanja u hotelu znate koliko je bitan onaj prvi dojam koji na vas ostavlja osoblje recepcije. Njihova vještina komunikacije i pristupačnost može vam uljepšati boravak, a nedostatak istih uništiti želju za ponovni posjet tom hotelu. Recepcionari su tu da vam pruže sve informacije i odgovore na vaša pitanja, uvijek spremni pomoći i riješiti situacije s kojima se susrećete, ali i nasmijati vas te vam poželjeti ugodan dan i laku noć.

Osoblje recepcije hotela Esplanade savršeno je uhodan tim koji se sastoji od jedanaest djelatnika; osam od njih su žene. Njihovi malobrojni kolege kavalirski su im prepustili glavnu riječ u predivnoj priči o recepciji hotela Esplanade.

Koliko je ovaj posao poželjan i atraktivan otkriva podatak da većina tih djevojaka radi na recepciji Esplanade još od školskih dana i prve stručne prakse. Ženska intuicija, smisao za detalje, smiješak i neodoljiv šarm samo su neki razlozi zašto recepcijom vladaju žene. Osam simpatičnih djevojaka izvrsno se slažu i uvijek se podupiru te kažu da su im pozitivna radna atmosfera i međusobno prijateljstvo najveća motivacija za rad.

Ana Dominović na recepciji Esplanade radi već tri godine. Ovo joj je prvi posao, a zbog njegove dinamičnosti ne bi ga mijenjala ni za koji drugi. „Pri prvom susretu s recepcijom samo gledate što se događa oko vas, ali kad se opustite i shvatite kako stvari funkcioniraju, onda ste kupljeni. Sada uživam u nepredvidivosti svakog dana, tih osam sati jednostavno proleti. A k tome radimo u predivnom okruženju recepcije hotela Esplanade. Gosti često priznaju da nam zavide na radnom mjestu“, objašnjava Ana. Danijela Ivić ponosno broji već desetu godinu rada u hotelu Esplanade, no nije cijeli radni vijek provela na recepciji. „Ovdje sam već dugo i više ne mogu zamisliti drugaHotel ESPLANADE /

hile staying at the hotel, do you know how important the first impression that the hotel staff leave on you is? Their communication skills and approach can really make your entire stay much more enjoyable, while the lack thereof can ruin every desire to visit the hotel again. Reception staff are there to provide all the information and answer any of your questions, always ready to help in any situation that you encounter, but also to put a smile on your face and to wish you a good day and good night.

The reception of the hotel Esplanade is a perfectly tuned team, which consists of 11 workers, 8 of them being female.

Their male counterparts, although fewer in number, have chivalrously allowed them the main word in this wonderful story about the Esplanade reception team.

A testament to how sought out and attractive this job can be is the fact that most of the ladies working at reception of the Esplanade have been working there since finishing school and their internships. Female intuition, attention to detail, a smile and irresistible charm are just some of the reasons why women rule the reception. These 8 loveable girls get along and support each other splendidly and they admit to us that it is precisely the positive working atmosphere and mutual friendship that are the biggest motivation for work.

Ana Dominović has been working at the reception of the Esplanade for three years already. This is her first job and its dynamic is the reason why she would never change it. „When you first encounter the reception, you observe almost in awe everything that happens around you, but when you relax and figure out how everything works, then you are simply sold on it. Now, I enjoy in the unpredictability of every day and those eight hours simply fly by. Moreover, we work in a wonderful setting of the Esplanade hotel – guests often admit to being envious of our work place “– explains Ana.

čiju radnu okolinu od ove, bez gostiju i recepcije. Osim toga, posao u kojem se gotovo sve radno vrijeme sastoji od komunikacije s gostima nerijetko donosi mnogo anegdota i lijepih uspomena, a na kraju radnog vremena odlazite kući puni dojmova i potpuno ispunjeni“, kaže Danijela. „Najveći izazov je da mi radni dan završi dobro, da i gost i ja izađemo iz hotela nasmiješeni i dobre volje.“ „Nije jednostavno objasniti kako je raditi na recepciji. U svakom slučaju, nije dosadno, svaki radni dan potpuno je ispunjen. Komunikativnost i dobro raspoloženje ključni su za ovaj posao. Osim toga, bitno je znati prilagoditi se situaciji jer se one gotovo nikada ne ponavljaju. Jednostavno se morate pomiriti s činjenicom da ne postoji priručnik za sve izazove s kojima se možete susresti prilikom rada na recepciji nego ih treba znati preduhitriti“, kaže Anamaria Imprić nakon dvije i pol godine rada na recepciji hotela Esplanade. „S obzirom na to da se većina našeg radnog vremena temelji na komunikaciji s gostima, svakodnevno doživljavamo lijepe geste i ugodne trenutke. Primjerice, sjećam se jednog simpatičnog mladog bračnog para iz Japana. Prvo sam im priredila dobrodošlicu s čašom pjenušca prilikom prijave, a nakon toga sam im pričala o hotelu i Zagrebu kako bi što bolje iskoristili vrijeme tijekom svog kratkog boravka. Sljedeći dan me dočekala velika kuverta u kojoj se nalazio mali znak pažnje s porukom zahvale od mojih novih prijatelja iz Japana“, otkriva Melida Bešić, koja je čim je prvi put došla u hotel znala da će ondje ostati dugo. U svibnju će joj biti šesta godina rada na recepciji Esplanade.

Although not exclusively at reception, Danijela Ivić proudly counts her tenth year of working at the Esplanade. „I’ve been working here for so long that I can’t imagine working in another environment, without guests and reception. Besides, a job where the working hours consist a 100% of communication with guests, often brings many anecdotes and nice memories and at the end of the shift you go home full of impressions and completely fulfilled – admits Daniela and continues - „The biggest challenge is for my working day to finish well, and for the guests and me to leave the hotel smiling and full of good will˝. „It’s impossible to explain to someone else how it is to work at a reception. It’s definitively not boring and every day is filled to the max. The ability to communicate well and positive mood are the key characteristics of the person doing this job. Apart from that, it is important to know how to adapt to a situation because a same one almost never repeats. You simply have to accept that there isn’t a handbook for all challenges you might encounter when working at a reception. You have to know how to anticipate a situation˝, admits Anamaria Imprić after working for two and a half years at the Esplanade reception. „Given the fact that most of our working hours are based on communicating with guests, we experience nice and enjoyable moments every day. For example, I remember a nice couple from Japan who was staying at the hotel. I firstly organised a welcome for them with a glass of bubbly at check in and then I told them about the hotel and Zagreb so that they could uti-

„Mi smo svjedoci predivnih životnih priča“, počinje Adriana Jagić, koja nakon osam godina na recepciji sa sigurnošću zna da je to njezin životni poziv. „Sjećam se jednog starijeg bračnog para, došli su u Esplanade nakon dugog izbivanja iz Zagreba. Željeli su se vratiti na nekoliko dana s obzirom na to da su ih za grad i hotel vezale lijepe uspomene, ali i jedno veliko prijateljstvo koje su tada bili ostvarili. Nažalost, izgubili su kontakt s prijateljima, a slušajući njihovu priču, odlučila sam im boravak u hotelu učiniti nezaboravnim. Od njih sam saznala imena prijatelja i nakon dulje potrage sreća mi se osmjehnula – pronašla sam ih. Organizirala sam sastanak iznenađenja koji je bio prizor za pamćenje, emotivan susret starih prijatelja iz mladosti. Kasnije su mi od srca zahvalili i priznali da im je to bio najljepši dar koji su mogli zamisliti. Znam da će se vratiti u hotel“, rekla nam je Adriana. „U ove četiri godine koliko sam tu bilo je toliko smiješnih i zabavnih situacija, dovoljno da se napiše knjiga. Sjećam se dolaska jednog starijeg bračnog para, imali su oko 80 godina, koji su mi se obratili da im preporučim neki restoran. Gospodin je sjeo nasuprot meni dok je gospođa odlučila razgledavati predvorje hotela. Dok sam na internetu pretraživala restorane i predlagala najbolje s obzirom na njihove želje, gospodin je počeo glasno hrkati. U jednom trenutku supruga ga je probudila, a on nije znao gdje se nalazi niti je čuo išta što sam mu govorila o restoranima“, kroz smijeh prepričava Vanesa Stipetich-Godenzi, bivša stjuardesa koja je ipak izabrala raditi s ljudima na čvrstom tlu.

Kada jednom dođete na recepciju, ostali odjeli hotela padaju u drugi plan dobila zaposlenje na recepciji Esplanade. Od svih situacija i anegdota najviše pamti boravak rock grupe U2 u hotelu. „U hotelu je vladao kaos, više od 500 fanova naguravalo se oko recepcije i ispred hotela. Bono Vox se nije skrivao iza pseudonima kao većina zvijezda njegova ranga. Osobno je došao do recepcije i zatražio me olovku kako bi se upisao u knjigu dojmova. Njegov opušten stav i prizemljenost toliko su me ganuli da su mi oči zasuzile, što ne bi bilo neobično da nisam imala plavu maskaru koja se razlila po cijelom licu. Srećom, kolegica me je na vrijeme upozorila pa sam uspjela izbjeći katastrofu pred poznatim glazbenikom“, prisjeća se Stefanija. „Kada jednom dođete na recepciju, ostali odjeli hotela padaju u drugi plan“, počinje svoju priču mlada Ivana Buha. „U Esplanadi sam od svoje petnaeste godine, počela sam s praksom koja je prerasla u rad tijekom studija te se nastavila i nakon njegova završetka. Radila sam u gotovo svim odjelima u hotelu: u restoranu, domaćinstvu, prodaji i rezervacijama, a sada sam već godinu dana na recepciji.

The next day at work there was a big envelope waiting for me in which there was a small token of appreciation and a thank you note from my new friends from Japan.˝ explains Melinda Bešić who with her first arrival at the hotel knew she would stay here a long time. In May it is going to be six years of working at the Esplanade reception. „We are all witnesses to wonderful life stories˝ - begins Adriana Jagić, who after eight years of working at the reception can safely say that it is her life’s calling. ˝I remember one older married couple who came to the Esplanade after living away from Zagreb for a long time. They wanted to come back for a few days because wonderful memories tied them to the city and the hotel, but also a strong friendship, which they forged during they stay. Unfortunately, they lost contact and while listening to their story I decided to make their stay at the hotel a memorable one. I found out the names of their friends and after some searching, luck smiled and I found them. I organised a surprise meeting which was a real sight to remember – a very emotional meeting of old friends from youth. Afterwards they thanked me from the bottom of their hearts and said it was the best gift they could have imagined. I know they will come back to the hotel.˝ Adriana recalls. „In these 4 years since I’ve been here, I remember so many fun situations, enough to write a book.

Kad kažete Radim u hotelu Esplanade, to ima određenu težinu.“ Uspješnost nekog hotela potpuno ovisi o zadovoljstvu gostiju, a oni koji u najvećoj mjeri mogu na to utjecati jesu djelatnici recepcije. Što se tiče osoblja hotela Esplanade, samo je nekoliko trenutaka dovoljno da se uz njih osjećate dobrodošlo i da se poželite što prije vratiti u hotel, pa barem i samo da vas pozdrave i zažele vam ugodan ostatak dana.

From all these situations and anecdotes she mostly remembers the stay of the rock group U2. „At the hotel there was absolute chaos, more than 500 fans squeezed their way around reception and at the front of the hotel. Bono Vox did not hide under a pseudonym as most stars of his rank do. He came personally to reception and asked for a pencil to write in the book of comments.

I started with practical training which grew into working while studying and continues to this day. I worked in almost all departments of the hotel: restaurant, housekeeping, sales, reservations and have been at reception for almost a year. As to where my professional path takes me, my current experience has already proved invaluable for all other professional challenges. «I work at the Esplanade Hotel» it carries weight and can only help you in life.“ The success of a hotel completely depends on the satisfaction of the guests. Those who can affect that are precisely reception staff.

eneralni direktor hotela Ivica Max Krizmanić istaknuo je: ”Nakon jednog izrazito uspješnog razdoblja željeli smo okupiti drage suradnike i prijatelje hotela Esplanade kako bismo zajedno proslavili odlične rezultate i brojna priznanja koja smo primili, a za koje su ponajprije zaslužni ljudi koji ponosno i predano rade u ovom hotelu, ali i partneri i predstavnici medija koji prepoznaju naš proizvod i kvalitetu usluge. Hvala svima koji vjeruju u nas i pružaju nam stalnu podršku.”

Istaknuto je da hotel Esplanade i dalje ima prepoznatljiv štih, ali jednako tako, u skladu s vremenom i napretkom novih tehnologija, slijedi svjetske trendove i intenzivno radi na razvoju novih ideja pa je tako, kao prvi hotel u Hrvatskoj, uveo PressReader Hot Zone koji gostima omogućuje besplatno listanje više od 2500 novina i časopisa iz cijelog svijeta na njihovu tabletu ili pametnom telefonu. Nedavno je primio i Halal certifikat, i to kao prvi u kontinentalnoj Hrvatskoj koji gostima islamske vjeroispovijesti pruža kompletnu Halal ponudu – smještaj, gastronomiju te wellness, po Halal standardima.

No ipak, poseban povod okupljanju bilo je predstavljanje novog izdanja hotelskog magazina Esplanade View koji se kroz sedam uspješnih brojeva nametnuo konceptom koji je odlično prihvaćen i od čitalačke publike i od partnera oglašivača koji prate magazin.

Uzvanici, među kojima su bili i Mirna Maras, Iva Šulentić, pjesnikinja Sanja Pilić, poznati estetski kirurg Aleksandar Milenović, arhitekt Siniša Bjelica, zastupnica Max Mare Marina Mazarekić, direktorica Masmode Sanja Palić, ravnateljica Hine Branka Valentić, Rene Bakalović, stručnjak za gastronomiju, uživali su u poslasticama šefice kuhinje Ane Grgić, vrhunskim koktelima, nastupu izvrsne Artemije Stanić i DJ-a Luce Goye te atraktivnom performansu Magic Theatre Serpentesa.

T

he General Manger of the hotel, Ivica Max Krizmanić pointed out: “After a very successful period we wanted to gather our dearest associates and friends of the Esplanade in order to jointly celebrate excellent results and numerous awards we’ve received and for which, first and foremost, responsibility goes to our people who proudly and with dedication work at this hotel, but also partners and media representatives who have recognised our product and service quality. Thanks to all who believe in us and who are constantly supporting us.”

It was certainly an opportunity to highlight the Esplanade’s recognisable style, but its step with time and advancement of new technologies, it follows world trends and works intensely on developing new ideas. The Esplanade, has therefore as the first hotel in Croatia introduced the PressReader Hot Zone, which allows guests free access to over 2500 newspapers from all around the world on their own tablet or smart phone. The hotel has recently also received the Halal certificate as the first hotel in continental Croatia which offers guests of the Islamic faith the complete Halal range – accommodation, gastronomy and wellness, based on Halal standards.

However, this opportunity was really meant for the presentation of the new edition of the hotel magazine the ESPLANADE View, which has through seven successful editions promoted a concept that has been greatly accepted by the readership and sponsor partners who follow the magazine.

Guests included Mirna Maras, Iva Šulentić, poet Sanja Pilić, famous aesthetic surgeon Aleksandar Milenović, architect Siniša Bjelica, Max Mara representative Marina Mazarekić, Masmoda director Sanja Palić, Hina director Branka Valentić, Rene Bakalović, gastronomy experts and others enjoyed in the delicacies of Chef de Cuisine Ana Grgić, superb cocktails and performances by the great Artemija Stanić and DJ Luca Goya as well as attractive performance

MAGDALENA PEDERIN ZARAZA

Muzej suvremene umjetnosti, Zbirke u pokretu 31. siječnja – 31. prosinca 2014.

“Zaraza” je novi multimedijski rad, hologramska instalacija Magdalene Pederin koju poznajemo kao umjetnicu fokusiranu na istraživanja vezana uz fenomen percepcije i simulacije, ispitivanje simboličkog prostora stvarnog i virtualnog i njihova međusobnog utjecaja.

I novim radom Pederin tematizira distopijsku viziju budućnosti u kojoj je humana matrica “simulirana stvarnost” onakva kako je kreiraju strojevi s umjetnom inteligencijom. Kao i u prijašnjim radovima protagonistica je sama Magdalena Pederin, zapravo njezin avatar, istovjetan liku umjetnice u stvarnosti.

EXHIBITION

CONTAGION

Museum of Contemporary Art, Collections in Motion 31 January – 31 December 2014 “Zaraza” Contagion is the new multimedia artwork, a holographic show by Magdalena Pederin who we know as an artist focused on researching the phenomenon of perception and simulation, examining the symbolic space of the real and virtual and their influence on each other. With her new work, she also deals with the dystopian vision of the future in which the human matrix ˝simulated reality˝ is created by artificial intelligence machines. As with her previous work, the protagonist is Magdalena Pederin herself, in fact her avatar, which is the image of herself in real life.

MUZEJ PREKINUTIH VEZA Museum of Broken Relationships

Muzej prekinutih veza nastao je iz putujuće izložbe s konceptom propalih veza i njihovih ruševina. Za razliku od „destruktivnih“ samopomagajućih uputa kako se oporaviti od neuspjele ljubavi, Muzej daje priliku svakome da prebrodi emocionalni slom na kreativan način: donacijom zbirci Muzeja. Koncepciju Muzeja osmislili su Olinka Vištica i Dražen Grubišć u Hrvatskoj, a otada je obišao svijet i prikupio nevjerojatnu zbirku.

The Museum of Broken Relationships came out of a travelling exhibition based on the concept of broken relationships. Unlike the ˝destructive˝ self-help advice as to how to recover from failed relationships, the Museum gives everyone an opportunity to overcome their emotional break-ups in a creative way: by donating to the Museum. The concept of the Museum was started by Olinka Vištica and Dražen Grubišić in Croatia and since it has travelled the world and amassed an impressive collection.
