Located right on the seafront, the Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik is the epitome of modern luxury in the heart of historic Dubrovnik. Boasting breath taking views over the Adriatic Sea and located close to Old Town, the hotel offers the best of both worlds. As a result, it is a popular choice with guests who want to take in the sights of this historic city, while enjoying the fabulous coastline of Dubrovnik.

Recently refurbished in a contemporary style, the hotel dates back to 1913 when it was a royal villa – it has even played host to Elizabeth Taylor and Queen Elizabeth II. The grandeur of its past life is still apparent throughout the magnificent interior of the building and has gained a reputation as one of the best hotels in Dubrovnik.

The accommodation is comfortable and luxurious, and guests are able to take advantage of the hotel’s beautiful gardens, three quality restaurants, and indoor pool. There is also a tranquil spa, offering the perfect space to relax after a day of sightseeing.

We have recently returned from a 10-night stay at the Excelsior, and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience having enjoyed our first stay there in July 2024. This time we booked directly with the hotel, arranging flights separately, and the hotel arranged transfers for us from and to the airport which were excellent. We booked a Villa Odak Deluxe sea view balcony room, which was in the original 1913 Villa Odak part of the hotel, and our room on the top floor had magnificent views of the Adriatic, Lokrum Island and Dubrovnik Old Town. The room, although not large, was stylish and comfortable with a good sized marble clad bathroom with a bath and separate large shower, and with a balcony from which we enjoyed watching the sun set over Dubrovnik Old Town. Our rate included breakfast which was very good with a wide range of hot and cold food, and with seating both indoors or on the terrace with great views. We particularly enjoyed the Abakus Piano Bar which had a wonderful comfortably furnished terrace, again with magnificent views toward Lokrum Island and Dubrovnik Old Town, and which served a great choice of drinks and casual food. We did intend to dine in the Prora Beach Restaurant, but during our stay it was closed in the evenings due to weather and sea conditions. The hotel has a large indoor pool, with jacuzzis and saunas, and a sea level terrace from which you can relax in the sun or jump directly into the warm (in September) Adriatic Sea. What we really appreciated was the warmth and helpfulness of all of the staff we encountered, who really made us feel valued as guests. In particular, Ivo and his Front Office staff were very helpful throughout our stay, as was the Concierge Rafaela who arranged restaurant reservations for us and gave us a lot advice about what to see and do in the Dubrovnik area. Special mention to Ivan, Katia and Zeliko in the Abakus Bar who provided a really great and friendly service, as did Pavo and Tibor on the sea level terrace and our maid Ana, who was always very friendly and attentive and ensured that our room was made up whilst we were having breakfast. Overall the Excelsior provides a wonderful base for an enjoyable stay in Dubrovnik and we certainly intend to visit again in the future.
