The Haludovo Hotel was built in 1972 (1969-1972) by architect Boris Magaš near Malinska on Krk island. It represents one of the spatial experiments within tourism architecture that occurred along the Adriatic region of Yugoslavia during the expansion of tourism-based development. The architect put nature at the center of his design, which emphasized conservation and integrated the surrounding landscape as a continuation of the interior design. Different buildings and features were distributed on the site. The central monumental building included a large lobby that was flexible enough to accommodate multiple uses, such as different kinds of social events. The hotel also included separate accommodation pavilions nestled into the surrounding landscape. The design for the swimming pool showcased experimentation with concrete beams, which beyond their structural function, were used to create a dynamic composition. One particularly memorable period of the hotel's history began when the hotel hosted the Penthouse Adriatic Club and Casino, as part of investment by Penthouse magazine founder Bob Guccione. These additions made the hotel a place of “guilty pleasure” for a while. The hotel was privatized in the 1990s, after which it was sold, but due to controversy around the planned development, this imposing piece of architecture was left to degradation and decay.
