"Housed in a building dating back to 1897 but fitted with modern amenities, this hotel features an indoor pool, spa, fitness center, an on-site Mediterranean restaurant (Imperial Terrace), and a bar with outdoor seating and views of Fort Lovrijenac and the city walls. Note: the property is closed for renovations until March 3, 2025." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.

"Peering out of my suite at Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik, a 19th-century hotel with views of the walled Old Town and the shimmering Adriatic just beyond, it was hard to imagine being thrilled to leave."
"They don't make hotels like this anymore, but they can still renovate them. Built in 1895, the Imperial, strategically located just outside the walls of the old city, entertained visiting royalty, plutocrats, and celebrities for nearly a hundred years. Then, following the shelling of Dubrovnik by Serbian guns in 1991, it abruptly became a refugee shelter, and remained one for a decade. Hilton reopened it on May 1, 2005. Every inch of the place has been refinished and modernized, but you can't fake those imperial proportions, from the semicircular terraces to the broad setbacks of the balconies--it is not merely big, but intimately big, however contradictory that might sound. You never feel overwhelmed; there is no sacrifice of scale to gigantism. The service is magnificent and unobtrusive. You can't, for example, obtain the same day's edition of a British or French newspaper at any newsstand in Dalmatia, but at the Imperial they will supply you with a full-size computer printout. The choice rooms are 332 and 334, which are blessed with both balconies and the most comprehensive view, taking in the whole sweep of the old city and the sea beyond it."
"Nostalgia and understated glamour await you at Dubrovnik’s oldest purpose-built hotel, opened in 1897. Its grand wood-panelled lobby has received many illustrious guests, from the worlds of politics and show biz. A 2018 refurb has combined old-fashioned charm with contemporary comforts. Sip retro-cocktails in the stately lounge-bar, before dining on traditional Dalmatian specialties on the restaurant’s garden terrace, shaded by camphor, magnolia and palm trees. There are 149 rooms, a basement spa with a small indoor pool, and ample business facilities. And at just a stone’s throw from Pile Gate and Dubrovnik’s medieval walls, you’re perfectly located for cultural sightseeing. " - Jane Foster
