Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik

Nostalgia and understated glamour await you at Dubrovnik’s oldest purpose-built hotel, opened in 1897. Its grand wood-panelled lobby has received many illustrious guests, from the worlds of politics and show biz.

A 2018 refurb has combined old-fashioned charm with contemporary comforts. Sip retro-cocktails in the stately lounge-bar, before dining on traditional Dalmatian specialties on the restaurant’s garden terrace, shaded by camphor, magnolia and palm trees.

There are 149 rooms, a basement spa with a small indoor pool, and ample business facilities. And at just a stone’s throw from Pile Gate and Dubrovnik’s medieval walls, you’re perfectly located for cultural sightseeing.
