The grande dame of Dubrovnik, the Excelsior has hosted heads of state and celebrities from its dramatic clifftop position east of the Old Town since 1913. The panoramic views of the city walls from the sea-facing rooms, the exceptional spa, and the private beach make it the city's most complete luxury experience.

Old Town
A 17th-century baroque palace at the heart of the Old Town's Gundulic Square, The Pucić Palace is arguably the most atmospheric hotel inside the walls. The location — on a magnificent Renaissance piazza surrounded by morning market stalls — combined with opulent, historically informed interiors delivers a Dubrovnik experience of rare distinction.

Lapad
Dubrovnik's largest resort, Sun Gardens is a sprawling five-star village on the Orašac peninsula offering villas, apartments, three pools, a private marina, and a beach club. The scale and facilities — particularly for families — are unmatched anywhere on the Croatian coast near Dubrovnik.

Old Town
One of the very few hotels actually inside Dubrovnik's Old Town walls, Hotel Stari Grad occupies a restored 18th-century house on the Stradun promenade. The eight rooms are immaculately designed, the rooftop terrace is a private paradise, and waking up inside the ancient walls is an experience money can barely buy.
