Hotels in Split

This small but chic boutique hotel in Split lies within the palace walls in a historic building that dates back to 1890. Close to the cathedral, the location could not be better on the second tier of the palace. The Split hotel has seven luxurious rooms and suites, a bar and an upscale restaurant that serves refined Dalmatian cooking and boasts an outdoor terrace.

Hotel Adriana is ideal for those looking to really be in the heart of the Split action. With a perfect location on the Riva waterfront, guests can wake to the smell of the Adriatic and watch the street life on the lifeblood Riva slowly kick into life. Rooms are comfortable rather than luxurious. Extras include the decent on-site restaurant and the café/bar downstairs out on the Riva, one of the most popular on this pedestrianised boulevard.

Within the palace walls, behind the cathedral, this characterful boutique hotel has 12 quite basic but comfortable rooms. Exposed brick walls in some rooms and Old Town views (including some rooms with views of the cathedral bell tower) are just some of the unique in-room features. Pick rooms 204 or 304 if you want to caress exposed stones of the 1,700-year-old Roman palace at no extra cost. Another one of the hotel's finest features is Tifani Restaurant on the ground floor, serving excellent fish is excellent in a charming décor - check out the toilets for more exposed Roman stonework.

The owners claim that the Slavija is the oldest hotel in Split and it may well be. A recent makeover has really improved things and the location is second to none right in the heart of the palace surrounded by bars and restaurants. There are 25 rooms with singles, doubles and triples available. Rooms are clean and comfortable though the noise from the nearby bars could disturb some guests.
