World-renowned travel writer, followed by millions, arrives in Croatia: Here's which luxury hotel he stayed in

Internationally acclaimed British television presenter, journalist, and adventurer Ben Fogle recently visited Croatia, choosing Pula as his starting point. Fogle, known globally for his travel documentaries, stayed at the newly opened Monumenti Heritage Hotel & Resort, a five-star establishment in Pula.

Ben Fogle's visit is a great recognition for us, but also confirmation that Istria today attracts people who have visited the most remote and fascinating parts of the world.

During his stay, Fogle and his production team, including camera operators and photographers, began their exploration of Istria from Pula. Their visit focused on the region's natural beauty, cultural offerings, and local cuisine. The Monumenti hotel served as their base, providing a luxurious setting for their Croatian journey.

The Monumenti Heritage Hotel & Resort itself is a significant feature of Fogle's visit. Located on St. Catherine's peninsula, it was developed through an 85 million euro investment, transforming a former Austro-Hungarian military complex. The hotel blends restored historical architecture with modern, high-category amenities, including 96 rooms and suites, a wellness center, spa, and fitness zone.

His arrival further confirms the international recognition of the destination and the quality of the tourist offer that Istria is continuously building.

Hotel management expressed their honor at hosting Fogle, viewing his visit as a testament to Istria's growing appeal to global travelers. They believe such visits enhance the international profile of Pula and Istria as premier tourist destinations. Fogle and his team also experienced the hotel's gastronomic offerings, including the Monsapori restaurant, which specializes in contemporary Mediterranean and Istrian cuisine using local ingredients.

We believe that such visits contribute to strengthening the image of Pula and Istria on the global tourist map, and we are extremely pleased to have had the opportunity to be a part of his Croatian journey.
