Best Luxury Hotels in Split
Split is built around Diocletian's Palace — a living Roman monument at the heart of a vibrant coastal city. Luxury hotels offer harbour views, refined Mediterranean hospitality, and a natural gateway to the Dalmatian islands.

Why stay in Split
Split is one of the few Croatian cities where you can wake inside a Roman palace and reach a ferry to Brač or Hvar before lunch. That makes hotel location unusually important: properties within or beside Diocletian's Palace offer atmosphere and walkability, while waterfront addresses trade a little distance for sea views and resort-style calm. For a multi-stop Dalmatian itinerary, Split is often the most practical — and most rewarding — place to anchor a few nights.
