Hotel Dubrovnik Palace
Five-star resort | Dubrovnik, Croatia View on a map
Hotel Dubrovnik Palace is a large five-star resort at the seaward end of the Lapad peninsula, 4.5 km from Dubrovnik Old Town. All 308 rooms and suites have a private balcony and sea view.
The hotel has direct access to the sea, two outdoor pools, an indoor pool, a large spa, several restaurants and bars, a diving centre and a padel court.
Location: the end of the Lapad peninsula
Hotel Dubrovnik Palace is on Masarykov Put, between the Adriatic and the wooded slopes of Petka. The Old Town is 4.5 km away and Dubrovnik Airport is about 22 km from the hotel.
This is a resort location rather than a city-centre one. The advantage is more space, sea access and full hotel facilities; the trade-off is that you will normally use a bus or taxi for the Old Town.
Bus to the Old Town
Libertas bus line 4 runs directly between Hotel Palace and Pile, just outside Dubrovnik Old Town. The current timetable has frequent departures through most of the day.
The journey is short, but traffic around Pile can slow things down in summer. Check the latest Dubrovnik city bus timetables and map before travelling.
Rooms and suites
The hotel has 308 rooms and suites, and every current category comes with a private balcony and sea view. The range starts with Superior Single and Superior Double rooms and continues through Deluxe and Executive rooms to several suite categories.
| Category | Outdoor space | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Superior Single Room | Private balcony | Sea-view single room |
| Superior Double Room | Private balcony | Standard double option with sea view |
| Deluxe Room | Private balcony | More space than the Superior rooms |
| Executive Room | Private balcony | Located on higher hotel floors |
| Junior Suite | Long private balcony | Separate bedroom and living area |
| Deluxe Suite | Private terrace | Larger suite for longer stays |
| Executive Suite | Private balcony | Separate space for work and relaxation |
| Ambassador Suite | Private balcony | Part of the VIP wing |
| Presidential Suite Magnolija | Private balcony | 162 m² suite in the VIP wing |
The useful distinction here is not whether you get a sea view, because every room has one. The real differences are room size, floor level, balcony or terrace size and whether you are booking into the VIP wing.
Sea access and pools
The hotel has direct access to the sea below the property, plus two outdoor freshwater pools and one indoor pool. One of the outdoor pools is designed for children.
This is one of the main reasons to choose Dubrovnik Palace over a hotel near the Old Town: you can spend a full day by the sea or pools without leaving the resort.
Spa and wellness
The spa and wellness centre covers 1,510 m². Facilities include an 18 x 8 m indoor pool, two outdoor freshwater pools, two Jacuzzis, a steam bath, Finnish sauna, six treatment rooms, a VIP couples' treatment room with Jacuzzi, fitness studio and relaxation area.
Use of the pools, Jacuzzi, sauna and fitness facilities is included for hotel guests; treatments are booked separately.
Restaurants and bars
The current dining lineup is spread across the hotel and beach area:
- Maslina Tavern is the signature restaurant by the sea, open seasonally from March to November.
- Beach Restaurant Ponta serves lunch by the beach during the summer season.
- Elafiti Restaurant is the main breakfast and dinner restaurant.
- Lean & Light is on the 10th floor and focuses on lighter dishes, fish, salads and smoothies.
- Lanterna Glorijet Bar sits beside the outdoor pool and sea.
- Sunset Lounge is near the top of the hotel and is the main place for drinks with sunset views.
Several venues are seasonal, so opening hours can change during the year.
Diving, padel and Petka
Hotel Dubrovnik Palace has a PADI diving centre and a padel court. Behind the hotel, paths lead into the wooded slopes of Petka for walking, running and quieter views away from the resort.
This gives the hotel more to do on site than many Dubrovnik properties, especially for stays longer than a couple of nights.
Families
Families are welcome, and the hotel has a children's outdoor pool. The current room inventory also includes interconnecting options.
If you need a cot or a specific connecting-room setup, confirm it with the hotel before booking.
Parking and transfers
Adriatic Luxury Hotels lists valet parking among the hotel's services, together with transfers and car rental. The current official site does not publish a fixed parking price, so check the terms directly with the hotel if you are arriving by car.
