Croatia Plans €150 Million Redevelopment of War-Damaged Kupari Hotel Complex

Croatia remains a top European holiday destination, attracting over seven million tourists in early 2025, with its Adriatic coast being especially popular. Near Dubrovnik lies Kupari, an abandoned military resort with crumbling hotels that once served Yugoslav military personnel and hosted celebrities before being devastated during the Croatian War of Independence. In Asia, the METT Singapore hotel opened in late 2025, offering luxury accommodations and unique wellness experiences, including a private-members’ club with biohacking and chiropractic treatments, along with vibrant social spaces like a padel court. Meanwhile, Fukuoka in Japan introduced the boutique One Fukuoka Hotel, blending traditional culture with modern art, positioned in a bustling shopping and startup district, appealing to youthful and affluent travelers. Lastly, New York’s iconic TWA terminal, designed by Eero Saarinen and celebrated for its architectural symbolism of flight, now stands as a historical landmark after TWA ceased operations, embodying mid-century American optimism and design innovation.
