1. Grand hotel "Posavina", Brčko

Hotel

The Grand Hotel rates as one of Brcko’s best and comes with a fascinating backstory. In 1891, the Grand Hotel became the first hotel in Brcko. The elegant Austro-Hungarian building and its lavish suites provided the highest level of luxury for its wealthy and distinguished guests. After surviving both World Wars and more than half a century under Yugoslavia, complete devastation during the Bosnian War forced the hotel to close. It reopened again in 2001.

Today, there are 32 rooms and four apartments mixing modern interior designs with traditional elements. Guests get world-class treatment, and a feeling of luxury found nowhere else in the city. Facilities include an on-site restaurant, bars, meeting rooms, a beauty parlour and even a hair salon. If you’re looking for comfort, check out the Grand Hotel in Brcko. And when you’re enjoying your meal and glass of wine, spare a thought to the rich and fascinating life the hotel has lived.
