The purpose of this paper is a presentation of a graduation dissertation "Hotel Lišanj arhitekta Ignjata Fischera, Novi Vinodolski" at the south of Primorsko Goranska županija near Crkivenica, built in 1923. The author of this hotel is a well-known architect from Zagreb, Ignjat Fisher, who developed the project before the collapse of the Austro Hungarian Empire in 1917. In the paper, the history oft he hotel and its interweaving with the development of the tourismin Novi Vinodolski is being analyzed. The analysis is focused on the historical building of the hotel. A review of the phases of reconstruction of the hotel from 1923 until today, and a functional analysis of today's buildingin comparison to the hotel Esplanade in Crikvenica with a similar history is given. The method of hotel reconstruction was "addition" of new volumes in contemporary style, which design should have adapted to the context. A lack of the attempt to adaptand a low quality of new hotel architecture is probably the reason why hotel chains advertise with images of historical buildings. Eventhough the Imperial architecture demanded a certain uniformity in the whole Austro Hungarian Empire, with a time detachment can be seen that these buildings add a value to an even more uniformed contemporaneity.
