One of the most lavish hotels on the Adriatic
Offering an access-all-areas pass to some of Croatia’s most cinematic views, the Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik is a luxury gem perched just a whisper away from the UNESCO-listed Dubrovnik Old Town. To the west, you can enjoy the jewel toned blues and greens of the Adriatic Sea, as well as an exclusive vantage point of the Medieval walls and Gothic architecture of the Old Town.
While we think you could dine on the views for a week, there’s much more to feast on here. Stepping through the doors is like stepping into old-world Dubrovnik – with many of the historic villa’s grander features still standing, you’ll feel right at home in the company of former guests like Queen Elizabeth and Elizabeth Taylor. And that air of grandeur is in all the details, from the sun-drenched stoney beach to the luxe spa and terrace.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
Hotel highlights
Perfectly perched for those who want to experience Dubrovnik’s iconic beauty up close, it’s just a five-minute walk to the fortress walls, and you’ll find yourself right in the heart of the magical Old Town. Surrounded by towering 15th and 16th-century walls that seem to echo secrets of the past, picture yourself wandering its cobblestone alleys, where Baroque and Gothic architecture frame every view. Don’t miss a walk along the city walls for stunning views of the Adriatic – complete with the famous Fort Lovrijenac, the Red Keep from Game of Thrones.
For those who are more about having their toes in the sand than their nose in the history books, there's an intimate stretch of shore that feels almost exclusive to those lucky enough to call the hotel home. Here, sun loungers rest on a sleek stone terrace, where the water laps gently at your feet. Sink into a day of indulgence with a chilled cocktail in hand, or dive straight into the sea for a restorative swim.
Every meal here tells the story of the Adriatic’s fresh flavours, expertly paired with Croatia’s finest wines. Start your mornings on the terrace, where the day begins with a sumptuous breakfast accompanied by those dreamy views, even more special in the gentle morning light. For those seeking refined elegance, Sensus Fine Dining Restaurant is the perfect mish-mash of traditional Mediterranean cuisine and creative modern cooking - traditional flavours are elevated to art, from delicate fish courses to indulgent desserts. If you’re after something more relaxed, Prora Restaurant, positioned on the shore, draws inspiration from its coastal location. Think fresh seafood and local delicacies.
As the evening unfolds, head to the Abakus Piano Bar to toast to the day in elegance. Sip cocktails to the sound of live music, watching the sun sink behind the Dalmatian horizon, the perfect end to another extraordinary day.
the Sisley Phyto-Aromatic Hydrating Facial, a transformative treatment that rejuvenates and nourishes the skin, leaving you glowing and refreshed.
The indoor pool, whirlpools, and state of the are fitness centre are the cherry-on-top of the wellness area.
The Seabream Tartar at Prora Restaurant is a must – a delicate and flavourful signature dish that brings the freshest seafood to life with vibrant citrus and creamy avocado, transporting you straight to the heart of the Adriatic.
