In October of last year, hotel company Zlatni rat – whose headqu- arters are in Bol on Brač – celebrated six decades of successful operation. Zlatni rat, which got its name by the same name world famous Bol beach, is among the most successful Croatian tourist companies. Founded on October 17, 1948, Zlatni rat started with only a few guest rooms and later it increased its capacity every year. The turnaround in its development was the opening of the hotel Bijela kuća, made with an adaptation of a student home.

During that time, an accelerated growth of hotel capacity started, and during the 70s, hotels Elaphusa and Borak are opened and one decade later, hotel complex Bretanide and in 1999, hotel complex Bona- ca. Zlatni rat today has 1,600 beds in three hotels, which are opera- ting as part of the Croatian hotel chain Blue Sun.

There are 180 employees in the company, and this year hotel Grand Elaphusa should put the fifth star on its entrance. Zlatni rat – which is the majority owner of Brač Airport – has stron- gly marked the tourism development of Bol, island of Brač, as well as entire Croatia and it counts among the most popular destinations in the country.
