Staying in Split

Split layers Roman remains, a busy working port and a wooded peninsula into one compact city. Diocletian's Palace forms the core of the old town, a pedestrian maze of ancient streets, restaurants and the Riva promenade, and beyond it the city spreads along the coast and up the slopes of Marjan hill, with beaches such as Bačvice within easy reach of the centre.

The hotels on this list sit close to that core: addresses in the old town itself, such as Poljana Grgura Ninskog, Rokova Ulica and Livanjska, plus streets a short step out including Ulica Kralja Zvonimira, Vukovarska and Peričićeva. Distances from the centre run from 0.1 km to 2.9 km. It suits couples and short-break visitors who want to walk to the palace and the Riva, families drawn to hotels with family rooms and pools, and business travellers who need fitness centres and 24-hour front desks.
