Staying in the Old Town puts the Rector's Palace within a minute's walk of almost every door on this list, which matters when the Stradun fills between 10am and 4pm and you want to retreat rather than queue. The Pucic Palace, a 5-star with a 4.6 guest score from 204 reviews, sits 90 m away; Blasius Residence and Apartment Flower are 60 m out, and Apartment Talir 80 m. Nearly every side street is a flight of stone stairs, so pack for hauling.
Guests in the Old Town walk. Every hotel on this page stands between 60 m and 100 m from the Rector's Palace — one minute on foot in each case — so there is no need for a taxi, bus or boat to reach the landmark itself. Arriving from outside Dubrovnik is the longer leg: with the walled city closed to through traffic and most stays in third-floor walk-ups, expect to be dropped at a gate and to carry bags the last stretch over polished limestone and stairs. Come at 7am or after 8pm and the same streets are a different city — swifts overhead, cats on doorsteps, one cellist practising near St Blaise — which is also the easiest time to move luggage.
The Rector's Palace is the Gothic-Renaissance seat of the former Ragusan government, standing at the eastern end of the Stradun in Dubrovnik's Old Town. Inside are the museum rooms of the city's cultural history and the atrium where the Dubrovnik Summer Festival holds concerts; the arcaded courtyard and the staircase are the reason many visitors step in. The whole walled city is roughly 300 metres wide and can be walked end to end in eight minutes, so the palace is never far from wherever you sleep. Between May and September the Stradun becomes a slow river of day-trippers off the cruise ships by 11am, while 7am or after 8pm the same streets empty into something closer to a stage set. Views of the landmark reward travellers who want polished limestone, Baroque churches and a shutter that opens on 15th-century stone — and who don't mind hauling a suitcase up the stairs of old palazzi.
