Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Luxe

Located just outside the palace walls and close to the port, this contemporary boutique hotel makes a great base for exploring Split and has spunkily designed rooms that are both sleek and well-insulated from the cacophony of the city. The hotel offers wonderful views of the city's patchwork of clay-colored rooftops. A cigar lounge is available on-site for relaxation in style, and the breakfast buffet offers fresh substantial fare.
