Boutique Hotels in Split — What to Expect
The heart of Split is Diocletian's Palace, a Roman emperor's retirement home that forms the living core of the old town. You'll find bars and shops built right into its ancient walls, with the Peristyle square echoing with the sounds of *klapa* singers. For a true local experience, join the evening stroll along the Riva waterfront promenade, then climb the bell tower of Saint Domnius Cathedral for panoramic views over the red-tiled roofs and the Adriatic. Just a short ferry ride away, the green islands of Brač and Hvar offer perfect day trips.
This is a city for explorers, equally rewarding for couples on a romantic break and solo travelers seeking history and sun. Families enjoy the shallow beaches on the Bačvice side of town. The best areas to stay are within the pedestrian-only Varoš district for charm, or around the main ferry port for convenience. Split is exceptionally well-connected, with its international airport, major ferry terminal, and bus and train stations all close to the center.
On HOTEVI, you can choose from 264 places to stay in and around Split. Accommodation ranges from sociable hostels in the old town lanes to modern apartments with sea views. The selection is dominated by mid-range boutique hotels set in historic buildings and a growing number of contemporary design hotels just outside the palace walls.
