Areas drawn from our hotels' addresses — updated as the selection changes.
Ploče and Pile
Best for First-time visitorsPositioned directly east and west of the medieval city walls, these areas offer immediate pedestrian access to the Old Town alongside views of the Adriatic Sea.
Lapad and Babin Kuk
Best for Families and beach loversThis green peninsula features a pedestrianised sunset strip, shingle beaches, and resort properties connected to the historic centre by regular local buses.
Dubrovnik Riviera
Best for Quiet coastal retreatsEncompassing coastal towns like Orašac to the north and Cavtat to the south, this region offers independent resort properties away from the urban crowds.
Areas to consider
Staying in outlying coastal destinations like Orašac or Cavtat requires reliance on boat transfers or taxis to reach the historic centre, which can become costly and time-consuming.

Every hotel counts once, at its own typical price, so hotels we happened to check more often don't carry more weight. Prices are the lowest rate available for the whole stay, worked out per night in euros.

How we chose these hotels
At our latest review (August 2026) the properties listed above were measured against the same standard: sustained guest scores on both Booking.com and Google — weighted by how many reviews sit behind them — five-star class or an equivalent premium level, a genuinely first-rate location, and facilities that set the hotel apart.
As a guideline we look for around 8.5 or higher on Booking.com, but no single number decides on its own — when the sources disagree, the broader evidence wins. Guest scores on this page update continuously, and the selection is re-reviewed at regular intervals. The full standard is described in how we choose hotels.
