Hotels
As the number-one tourist destination in Croatia, Dubrovnik has a wide range of accommodation options for every budget. For ambience and character, you can’t beat the hotels in the historic old town, but, for a true Mediterranean experience, stay in a hotel on the oustkirts of town - the pricier ones feature swimming pools surrounded by lush gardens. Our favorite, and one of the best luxury in town, is the Gran Villa Argentina, a splendid four-star hotel a short walk from the old town, with expansive and airy guestrooms, wonderful sea vistas, and a stellar swimming pool. Other good options include the moderate, beachfront Hotel Splendid, with 59 comfortable rooms, contemporary decor, terraces, and fine amenities; the Hotel Lero, the best budget choice within walking distance of the old town, with 152 comfortable en-suite doubles equipped with air-conditioning and TV; and the height of luxury, the Pucic Palace, a pricey five-star old town hotel occupying a renovated Baroque noble home and boasting 19 exquisite rooms with antique furniture, mosaic-tiled bathrooms and plush amenities.
