Info Brochure 2013

Association of Family and Small Hotels of Croatia (Udruga OMH) gathers only the best small and family-run hotels in both coastal and continental Croatia. Founded in 2004, the Association has grown into a strong marketing alliance with 143 hotels and 64 villas, apartments and other type of family-owned accomodation.

The Association is a non-profit organization held by its members with the support of Croatian Ministry of Tourism and Croatian National Tourism Board as well as other institutions. The mission of the Association OMH is to bring together the best of family-run and small hotels in Croatia, which are characterized by uniqueness, distinctive quality and authenticity, ensuring an unforgettable experience for our guests, an influential voice and better business opportunities for our members, an advanced association for the tourism sector, and a social and environment - responsible partner for our country and local communities. Our goal is to establish and internationally recognizable brand - small & friendly hotels of Croatia.

Small family-run hotels are a new feature of Croatian tourism.

We believe that a guest feels most comfortable in an environment which is close, intimate and family-like. The warmth of the personal touch is irreplaceable and small family-run hotels are the very form of tourism in Croatia which succeeds in embracing such warmth. In order to provide you with the opportunity of meeting the best that Croatia has to offer, each small & friendly hotel is a genuine reflection of the tradition of the area in which it is located. And every hotel tells its own very individual story. There are many ways to do this - through a style of architecture which reflects the climate in which the hotel is situated, its specific interior decoration, the aromas and flavours of the local cuisine, a wine list typical of the locality, excursion tours to landscapes found nowhere else, sport and recreational activities in amazing new places. The colour of local life can be best experienced through encounters with the local people and, of course, with the hotel owner. In other words, the true spirit of the locality can be experienced in every hotel.

To cater for the needs of every segment of today’s traveller, our hotels have specialised their offer in 6 product groups: family holiday, active and adventure vacation, wellness and spa, heritage, gourmet and business travel, each with the necessary equipment and high quality services tailored to the guests’ needs. Whether you are searching for an active vacation, traveling with family, love to enjoy local cuisine, wellness treatments or you just want to relax, we believe you will find a hotel that will fulfill all of your expectations.

We believe in your choice of small & friendly hotels.
