"The streets of heaven, we’ve heard, are paved in gold — but in Split, we can confirm that they’re lined with white marble. They’re a throwback to the city’s glamorous heyday: around 300AD, to be exact, when the Roman emperor Diocletian chose this seaside settlement as the ideal place to build his retirement palace. Thanks to the Roman ruins and the idyllic location on the Adriatic coast, Split remains one of Croatia’s most popular destinations — the kind of place where you’d like to stay close to the historic center, but not right in the middle of the tourist action. Someplace like the Hotel Luxe, a quick five-minute walk from the palace." - Tablet Hotels
