Dubrovnik is one of Croatia’s most popular destinations with good reason. Surrounded by some of the best-preserved ancient city walls of their kind, ambling through the cobbled streets of the city’s famous Old Town (designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site back in 1979) is like stepping back in time. This is a city that feels like an atmospheric treasure trove of beautiful baroque architecture, grand squares and quaint stone houses. Beyond the grand ramparts, you’ll find elegant fruit tree-lined suburbs, pretty harbours and beautiful beaches, all framed by dramatic cliffs and the shimmering Adriatic Sea.

With so much to explore it’s important to pick the perfect hotel to help you immerse yourself in the city. Luckily, the team at easyJet Holidays has done the hard work and made a helpful video, featuring five of the coolest and most convenient Dubrovnik hotels to help make the most of your stay. Take a look at their video below to give yourself a taster of each spot, as well as key sights, attractions and recommendations for the perfect trip.

 

Hotel More

Named after the Croatian word for the sea (which is pronounced ‘mor-eh’), Hotel More is a boutique four-star hotel that clings to the cliffs along the idyllic Lapad peninsula. You’re never too far away from breathtaking views of the sparkling turquoise waters of Lapad Bay, whether through the sweeping windows in the lobby or from the top deck pool and hot tub. Spend time jumping into the sea from the hotel harbour, sipping cocktails under a star-painted ceiling in its atmospheric cave bar (a natural stone cavern discovered during the hotel’s construction) or relaxing in the glamorous rooms filled with sumptuous dark wood décor.

There’s a comprehensive breakfast buffet and two à la carte restaurants on-site serving Croatian classics and indulgent puddings. Plus, it’s an easy walk to some of the best beaches in the west of the city and a 12-minute drive from Dubrovnik Old Town. So, perfectly positioned for sun-seeking and sightseeing.
