The hotel excelsior has long been one of Dubrovnik’s most desirable addresses, welcoming celebrities and royalty for over a century. The location just outside the old town is unbeatable, and the facilities include three excellent restaurants and an impressive spa.
Accommodation is divided between the historic Villa Odak, which dates back to 1913, and the more modern Tower, with chic and contemporary interiors throughout. All rooms are air-conditioned and include an en-suite bathroom with shower and luxury amenities, flat-screen satellite TV and complimentary WiFi. Dining is sensational, choose from contemporary Mediterranean fine dining paired with Croatian wines at Sensus, or dine by the water’s edge at Prora, a romantic spot specialising in regional meat and fish dishes. Salin is the hotel’s main restaurant, where a generous breakfast buffet is served, while the Abakus Piano Bar and Terrace is the place for drinks and light bites before heading out into the Old Town in the evening. The hotel has direct access to a rocky beach from a stone terrace with sun loungers, parasols and steps down into the sea. The Energy Clinic Spa and Wellness Centre includes an indoor freshwater pool and two VIP suites.
