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.
The Hilton Imperial occupies a magnificently restored 19th-century palace directly opposite the Old Town's Pile Gate — perhaps the most strategically positioned hotel in the city. The Old Town, city walls, and cable car terminus are all within a five-minute walk, making it the best-located major hotel in Dubrovnik.
Ploče
Dubrovnik's most intimate luxury hotel, Villa Dubrovnik clings to the cliff face east of the Old Town with direct sea access and extraordinary views of the city walls. Just 56 rooms, a private boat, and the kind of hyper-attentive service that appears on every 'world's best' list — year after year.
Ploče
A beautifully restored 1930s Art Deco villa in the exclusive Ploče neighbourhood, Villa Orsula is part of the Adriatic Luxury Hotels collection. The interwar glamour of its architecture is perfectly preserved, the private beach and sea-view terrace restaurant are exceptional, and the 15-room scale ensures genuine personal attention.
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.
