4- and 5-star hotels in Dubrovnik
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels in Dubrovnik, gathered for travellers who want to sleep inside the old town or a few steps from it and are choosing between small palaces, suites and apartments.
Staying in Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is a walled Adriatic city whose old town is a compact web of stone lanes, churches and squares, with the sea never far away. Almost every hotel on this list has an address inside that core — Ulica Od Puca, Od Sigurate, Prijeko, Široka Ulica, Boškoviceva, Zamanjina Street, Od Domina, Sv. Josipa — so guests step out directly into the pedestrian streets. A few sit slightly apart, on Petilovrijenci Ulica, Grudska Ulica, Pelješka Ulica and Ulica Lukše Beritića, while One Suite Hotel stands on Dr. Franje Tudmana Šetalište away from the centre.
The choice suits couples and short-break visitors who want atmosphere and walking over resort facilities, and the apartment-style properties (Kings Landing, Divona, Villa Lidija, Lux Kalifa, La Vita e Bella II) give families and small groups space of their own. Several hotels offer family rooms, cots and babysitting, so parents are covered too. Business travellers are less the point here; the appeal is location, character and, in the larger houses, a front desk and concierge.
