3 Best Hotels in Central Dalmatia, Croatia

Located on the palm-lined Hvar Town waterfront, opposite the ferry landing station, the hotel was renovated in 2022 with a sleek Mediterranean look that favors white, blue, and earth tones. Some rooms boast a beautiful sea view and now have soundproof windows, so the extra cost is well worth it. A restaurant and bar with long open hours serve regional dishes and artisanal cocktails on the seafront promenade. Guests can use the pool at sister hotel Adriana, a five-minute walk away. 

Experience the peacefulness of the Croatian countryside at the Kalpić family estate while exploring both Šibenik and nearby Krka National Park. Just 10 minutes from both, it provides the perfect complement after a busy day of sightseeing, allowing guests to gather their impressions and soak up nature. The rooms are comfortable and nicely furnished, and meals are prepared using local produce and old-fashioned methods, most often on the grill or under the peka, a traditional bell-shape lid used to cook meals over an open fire.

This sleek five-star hotel—offering rooms both functional and sophisticated, with wooden floors, earth-tone fabrics, and spacious bathrooms—is a short walk from the city’s car-free center and close to all the main attractions. The lovely old-fashioned Italianate facade belies the chic 21st-century interior; each room has a smart TV and tablet to help guests navigate their stay and communicate with hotel staff. There’s a rooftop bar with an unbeatable view and two restaurants serving dishes with locally sourced ingredients and regional wines.
