Areas drawn from our hotels' addresses — updated as the selection changes.
Old Town & City Centre
Best for First-time visitorsThis central area encompasses the pedestrianised streets surrounding Diocletian's Palace and its immediate northern borders. It offers direct access to Split's ancient Roman ruins, local restaurants, and the main transport terminals.
Bačvice & Firule
Best for Beach and relaxationSituated just east of the city port, these adjacent seaside neighborhoods are known for their popular sandy and pebbled beaches. The area provides a laid-back, resort-like environment while remaining within easy walking distance of the historic centre.
Zapadna Obala & Meje
Best for Scenic harbour viewsStretching along the elegant West Coast promenade towards the foot of Marjan Hill, this upscale waterfront area offers scenic harbour views. It provides a quieter, more exclusive atmosphere away from the bustling crowds of the old palace gates.
Areas to consider
Accommodations located directly inside the pedestrianised Old Town can experience late-night noise during the summer and are inaccessible to vehicles, making luggage transfer more challenging.

How we chose these hotels
At our latest review (August 2026) we measured 8 luxury and premium properties for this destination 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. 7 made the cut and are listed above.
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.
