Fodor's Expert Review Pucić Palace

Occupying a beautifully-restored Renaissance-style palace, the boutique Pucić Palace is ideally situated on Gundulić Square and offers the sort of aristocratic delights that its location suggests. Think dark wood parquet floors and high wood-beam ceilings, antique furnishings, Italian mosaic-tile bathrooms with freestanding copper tubs and luxury toiletries; some rooms have a balcony overlooking the square, offering a perfect vantage point over the morning market, outdoor terraces, and Jesuit Steps. Apart from its lavish design, what sets this hotel apart is the warm, personal service you'll receive from all of the staff members; returning after a busy day in the city really feels like a welcome retreat.
