Hotel Vestibul Palace | Best places to stay in Split

"Aimed at visitors who want their own luxury bolthole in Split’s magnificent car-free old town, this discreet boutique hotel lies inside Diocletian’s Palace and is popular with visiting celebs. With just five rooms and two spacious suites (plus four more rooms in the nearby annex), it’s small enough to be able to offer truly personalised service. Steeped in history, the interior combines sections of the ancient Roman structure with modern minimalist furnishing and 21st-century gadgetry. The hotel’s Magnus restaurant serves creative Dalmatian fare on the secluded square out front, accompanied by occasional performances of Dalmatian klapa (plainsong). " - Jane Foster
