Welcome to Fermai Heritage Hotel!

Fermai is an Italian word for stopped, literally telling us to stop and slow down in peaceful oasis in the bustling heart of Split. 

A century-old building that is truly a pearl of Art Nouveau. Completed in the midst of World War I, it is a masterpiece by architect Petar Senjanović, who brought a touch of recognizable Viennese Art Nouveau to Split. Split was almost bypassed by Secession, and Fermai revived this Art Nouveau beauty with a new purpose.

Originally, the building was intended for the needs of the cooperative union. Since 1974 it has been the seat of the University of Split. Archaeological artifacts, found during construction, testify to the existence of organized urban life in Split even before the Diocletian’s Palace was built. The discovery of a bath or fountain gives a sense that a spa or market place was located at this very spot. 

Heritage hotel Fermai is a perfect place to start exploring the fascinating history of Split. Stay or stop just steps away from Diocletian’s Palace, the heart of the city, which due to its magical beauty, has been a part of UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 1979. The location allows you to instantly switch from a cozy, serene hotel atmosphere to the seductive Mediterranean vibrancy of Split.

Each of 31 superbly appointed rooms and four suites is true representatives of a bygone era, at the same time, brings a touch of modern, with special attention to every detail and needs of the modern traveler. Plenitude of natural light and views of the charming old town will enchant your senses while staying with us. Units with a balcony or terrace further enhance the Mediterranean atmosphere.

Within only a few minutes of pleasant walk is the Golden Gate – once the main entrance to the magnificent Roman Palace. On the way, there is Gregory from Nin, the most popular “wish maker” in Split. Don’t miss the opportunity to touch his lucky toe and make a wish. Except for the enchanting Diocletian’s Palace, there is a picturesque farmers market, the ferry port of Split, and inevitable promenade Riva with the bars, restaurants, and shops. 

Why Fermai? Because there are places and experiences that make it worthwhile to stop. Put the world on hold.

As I wrote once when I was in Split, If I would have been born in Split, I would stay and live here.

 

 

 

 

Dobrodošli u Fermai Heritage Hotel! Fermai. Neka svijet pričeka.

 Fermai je talijanska riječ i znači ‘zaustavljen7, i prepporučuje da stanemo i usporimo u ovoj mirnoj oazi u užurbanom srcu Splita. Hotel je udaljen tek nekoliko koraka od vreve srca grada-Dioklecijanove palače koja je zbog svoje magične ljepote dio UNESCO popisa svjetske baštine. Ov sjajna lokacija omogućuje da se u trenutku prebacite iz ugodne, mirne hotelske atmosfere u zavodljivu mediteransku živahnost Splita.

Stoljetna zgrada koja je istinski biser secesijske umjetnosti, dovršena u jeku Prvoga svjetskog rata, remek djelo je arhitekta Petra Senjanovića koji je Splitu donio dašak prepoznatljive bečke secesije. Split je secesija gotovo zaobišla i time je Heritage hotel Fermai rijetkoj splitskoj ljepotici udahnuo novo ruho.

Zgrada je bila namijenjena potrebama zadružnog saveza, a od 1974. godine je sjedište Splitskog sveučilišta. Zahvaljujući arheološkim iskapanjima, u temeljima zgrade pronađeni su artefakti koji svjedoče o postojanju organiziranog urbanog života u Splitu prije izgradnje Dioklecijanove palače. Pronalazak kupelji ili fontane daje naslutiti kako su tu bile smještene terme ili tržnica. fermai je izvrsno mjesto za početak istraživanja fascinantne povijesti Splita.

Tek nekoliko minuta lagane šetnje dijeli Fermai od Zlatnih vrata-nekoć glavnog ulaza u velebnu rimsku palaču. Na putu je Grgur Ninski najpoznatiji Splitski “srećonoša”. Ne propustite priliku za dotaknuti njegov palac i zaželjeti želju. Osim očaravajuće Dioklecijanove palače, tu je i u živopisna tržnica, splitka luka, i neizaobilazna Riva sa svojim kafićima, restoranima i trgovinama. 

 Zašto Fermai? Zato jer postoje mjesta i doživljaji zbog kojih se isplati zastati. Staviti svijet na čekanje.

I kako sam jednom pisala; Da sam se rodila u Splitu, tu bih ostala i živjela
