Organising the Hartera festival in 2009 included the implementation of accommodation capacities for the guests within the space of the old paper factory. The original intention of the organizers was to find the space for a camp with 100 tents for the increasing number of visitors coming from outside the city of Rijeka. The suitable area was found, not on a meadow or in the woods, but in the beautiful factory hall where, after hundreds of hours of work, Hartera Hotel was created out of various recycled materials found at the site, bulky waste and deluge driftwood.
