"If you’re looking for a special experience with a maritime flavour, we recommend a stay at the Lešić Dimitri Palace , a fascinating, peaceful and relaxing hotel housed within a carefully restored bishop’s palace dating from the 18C. Here, you’ll find suites and private residences equipped with comfortable amenities. The building was restored by an Asian-Croatian team of architects and interior designers who took inspiration from Marco Polo and his travels along the Silk Road." - La Guida Michelin

"A former 18th-century bishop’s palace in Korčula Old Town, this Relais & Châteaux property has been meticulously restored into an all-suite luxury hotel.

The two-bedroom China Suite features low-slung furniture, red pillows, and a scene-stealer of a terrace with views across the town and coastline, while the one-bedroom Arabia Suite includes an all-white color scheme and intricately carved wood screens. The hotel’s LD Spa specializes in Thai and Ayurvedic treatments, and the restaurant serves fresh, local seafood on a long terrace above the Old Town wall. The restaurant also produces three different olive oils from the groves around Korčula, and works with local partners to serve wines made from indigenous grapes like grk and pošip ."
