About this property
Accommodation category
Hotel
On the Lapad peninsula, enjoy a private beach, spa, and a peaceful location away from the Old Town crowds.
On the Lapad peninsula, this 5-star hotel bets on the open sea rather than the city walls. You're well away from the crush of the Old Town, in a residential neighborhood that faces the Adriatic and feels more restful than touristy. It's built for people who want comfort and the sea under their windows, not for sleeping steps from the paving stones of Stradun.
Location
The Old Town of Dubrovnik is a good distance away by car or bus, not on foot. In exchange, the hotel has direct access to the sea and a setting that's much calmer than the historic center in high season. The Lapad neighborhood has its own restaurants and beaches, with a more local seaside feel.
Rooms and comfort
The rooms play the sea view card, and a good share of them have balconies overlooking the Adriatic. The decor stays understated, in the light tones typical of upscale properties along the Dalmatian coast, with no clutter and no kitsch.
Dining and drinks
The hotel has a restaurant and dining areas facing the sea, where breakfast and meals come with the bay as a backdrop. Several eateries and bars let you stay on site without heading out for every meal, a real plus for families or relaxed stays.
Services and extras
On the wellness side, the property offers a spa and pool area, a welcome asset outside the sea-swimming season or to round out a lazy day. Direct sea access means you can swim without crossing town.

High-end hotel where I stayed 2 years ago.
Pros: spacious areas, comfortable rooms, terrace with a gorgeous view of the coast, same goes for the bar and restaurant, you can sit on the terrace with a sea view.
A romantic spot par excellence.
Very good breakfast with plenty of options, including fresh smoothies made to order.
The hotel has a small private beach, which I believe is gravel or pebbles. A few rocks around, which makes it great for snorkeling and seeing fish. Small downside: the frequent and noisy passing of jet skis.
Quiet location, definitely less lively than the old town of Dubrovnik.
That said, you have to take a bus to get to the old town, good to know. Figure about ten minutes on the bus, and they run pretty frequently.
