About

Hotel Dubrovnik Palace

Hotel Dubrovnik Palace sits on the coastline of the Lapad peninsula, about a 5-minute drive from Uvala Lapad Beach. All 304 rooms and suites face the Adriatic, many with private balconies. The property is built for relaxation — there's an indoor and seasonal outdoor pool, a spa with sauna and jacuzzi, and direct beach access with loungers and umbrellas.

Dining includes a restaurant and bar, with a breakfast buffet that guests consistently highlight for its local produce and fresh fruit. Practical touches like a paid airport shuttle, valet parking, car hire, and a 24-hour reception keep things easy, while a regular bus service runs from outside the hotel to Dubrovnik's Old Town.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Sea views from nearly every room — All 304 rooms overlook the Adriatic, and most have balconies. Guests repeatedly mention the spectacular views, including sunsets from the room and the sunset lounge.
  • Strong breakfast and dining — The breakfast buffet draws consistent praise for fresh fruit, local products, and made-to-order eggs. The on-site restaurant and the sushi bar also get positive mentions.
  • Easy access to the Old Town — A regular bus service stops right outside, taking guests to Dubrovnik's Old Town in about 10 minutes. Some guests also mention a free shuttle to the Old Town.
  • Attentive and friendly staff — Service is a recurring highlight, from the reception and restaurant to small touches like a welcome drink and celebratory surprises.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Location scores lower than other categories — While the seafront setting is beautiful, the hotel sits at the end of a bus line on the Lapad peninsula, away from the city centre. The Old Town is about 10 minutes away by bus or car, and walk_min is not specified.
  • Dining and service ratings are modest for a 5-star — The dining category scores 7 and the price/service category scores 6, suggesting that some guests find the value or food quality below what they'd expect at this level. Only one review explicitly critiques breakfast, but the overall category scores indicate room for improvement.
  • High price point — With rates from £503 per night, this is a significant investment. Given the service rating of 6, some guests may feel the price is steep for what's delivered.
