October the 17th, 2025 – The Keight Hotel Opatija (Curio Collection by Hilton) announced its rich autumn-winter programme at a recent press conference held in Bribir Hall.
That programme places an emphasis on fantastic gastronomic experiences, special thematic events and socially responsible activities, all in close collaboration with the Association of Children with Down Syndrome – Rijeka 21.
A new promotional film of the hotel was also presented, which, through the poetic transformation of the main character – the Woman who becomes Pierrot – shows how space can inspire an individual, arouse curiosity and create a sense of home. The film itself was realised by the Filmeria production company.
The event was attended by numerous guests, including the Deputy Prefect of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County Toni Štimac, the Deputy Mayor of Opatija Kristina Đukić, the Director of the Kvarner Tourist Board Irena Peršić Živadinov and the Director of the Rijeka Tourist Board Petar Škarpa. All of the aforementioned clearly expressed their support for this commendable project and praised the hotel’s initiatives aimed at sustainability, the local community and the promotion of the destination through culture and creativity.
the Autumn-Winter Programme at Keight
This autumn season at Keight brings with it a new offer of exciting Asian dishes alongside the existing specialities of the Pierrot restaurant, led by chef Miroslav Janjić, exclusive food & wine evenings (October the 17th with the Erdoro Winery) and favourite weekend rituals – Saturday brunch and Sunday lunches for families and friends.
During the November Chocolate Week, guests can enjoy the Rooftop Chocolate Mixology evening, the “Chocolate Souffle” workshop with chef Ana Srdoč, the chocolate menu at Pierrot and the “Choco Delight” spa package. The end of the year is reserved for Advent and New Year’s Eve 2026 with festive cocktails, special menus and a celebration at Pierrot restaurant and on the rooftop overlooking the gorgeous Kvarner Bay.
a brand New promotional film for the Keight Hotel
The creative idea behind the new film, which was realised by the production company Filmeria at the initiative of Anamarie Hauptfeld Schweitzer, follows a woman who, passing through the Keight spaces, becomes Pierrot – a symbol of play, emotion and curiosity. The film explores how Curio spaces, more than just their name, encourage exploration, comfort the familiar and open up new vistas – creating an intimate feeling of home.
Socially responsible action: Keight × Down 21
Keight has been collaborating with the Down Association – Rijeka 21 since the very beginning. From every Keight cocktail sold, the hotel donates €0.50 to the association. Guests are given soaps made by members of the association to promote their work and strengthen the community. The collaboration with the Association of Children with Down Syndrome – Rijeka 21 continues through joint workshops and community involvement in hotel events, and members of the association will be able to use the hotel pool at pre-arranged times, as part of joint activities.
Davor Kovčalija, Director of the Keight Hotel:
“Through the autumn-winter programme, we want to offer experiences that combine excellence in gastronomy, creativity and social responsibility. The collaboration with the Down Association – Rijeka 21 is an example of our commitment to creating a positive impact in the community in which we operate.”
Anamaria Hauptfeld Schweitzer, Katarina Line & Keight Hotel Opatija:
“The concept of the new Keight Hotel promo film stems from personal memories. Pierrot was a constant presence in our house, a collection that my father (Katica Hauptfeld’s husband) had put together over the years and which shaped my visual sensibility. The transformation into Pierrot isn’t a mere mask, but a metaphor for personal change inspired by the space and hospitality of Keight. The desire to create this film arose from a series of international presentations and workshops where Katarina Line promotes Croatia, Kvarner and Opatija, and within that context, her portfolio, in which the latest and most modern project is the Keight Hotel Opatija.”
