Hotel Dubrovnik sits in the green Lapad district, on the pedestrianised Šetalište Kralja Zvonimira promenade lined with restaurants and cafés, only about 80 m from Lapad Beach and roughly 3 km west of the walled Old Town. Renovated in 2020, the property is rated 8.1 across 1,064 reviews, with location the standout at 9.2 and staff at 8.8.
Accommodation runs from a compact 17 m² Double Room to a 70 m² Deluxe Two-Bedroom Apartment with a terrace; several rooms have a balcony, and the Apartment and the largest unit suit families or groups of four to five. Every room is air-conditioned, soundproofed and carpeted, with a flat-screen TV and satellite channels, a refrigerator and a private bathroom with shower.
On site there is a restaurant with a terrace serving fish and meat dishes, a café bar, room service and free WiFi throughout, plus a tour desk, concierge, 24-hour front desk and lift. A direct bus to the Old Town leaves about 50 m from the door, and airport pick-up can be arranged on request.
Hotel Dubrovnik has five room types across a range of sizes and layouts, from a 17 m² Double Room up to a 70 m² Deluxe Two-Bedroom Apartment with a terrace. Two of the doubles and the triple come with a balcony, while the two apartments add a fridge, a living and dining area and, in the largest, a full kitchen and a spa bath. Every unit is air-conditioned, soundproofed and carpeted, with a flat-screen TV and satellite channels, a desk, a wardrobe and a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer. What changes is the space and the sleeping arrangement, from couples to families of four or five. Bed configurations are listed below.
For a three-star seaside hotel, Hotel Dubrovnik covers plenty of ground. A restaurant with a terrace serves fish and meat dishes, backed by a café bar, a snack bar and room service, and free WiFi reaches every room with an internet computer at reception. The Lapad setting adds beachfront access and a sun terrace, while a tennis court, a children's playground and a programme of walking tours, live music and happy hours give you things to do without leaving the area. Practical services are solid too: a 24-hour front desk, concierge, tour desk, luggage storage, express check-in and check-out, an on-site ATM and a lift. Family rooms and airport pick-up on request round out the list, and the whole property is non-smoking.
Hotel Dubrovnik stands on Šetalište Kralja Zvonimira, a pedestrianised promenade in the green Lapad district, about 3 km west of the walled Old Town. Most visitors arrive through Dubrovnik Airport at Čilipi, roughly 20 km to the south-east. The Platanus shuttle runs after every flight and reaches the Old Town's Ploče Gate in about 30 minutes and the Gruž bus and ferry terminal in around 35, for about €10 one way; a taxi is quicker but costs far more. Dubrovnik has no passenger train, so other arrivals come by coach or by ferry into Gruž. From the hotel, city bus line 6 stops nearby and runs to Pile, the western gate of the Old Town, roughly every 15 minutes in about 10-15 minutes; the property also notes a direct bus leaving about 50 m from the door, and the front desk can arrange an airport pick-up on request.
Lapad is where locals swim and stroll: the palm-lined promenade ends at Lapad Beach, 80 m away, with more coves around the Babin Kuk peninsula. The real draw, though, is the Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walking the two-kilometre City Walls is the essential experience, best early or late to dodge the heat and the cruise crowds; the ticket also covers Fort Lovrijenac on its western cliff. Inside the ramparts, the limestone Stradun runs from Pile Gate to the Old Port, past Onofrio's Fountain and the bell tower. For the classic panorama, ride the cable car up Mount Srđ, or climb if you prefer. From the Old Port, boats reach the wooded island of Lokrum in about 15 minutes, while the Elafiti islands of Koločep, Lopud and Šipan make a longer day trip from Gruž. May, June and September are the pleasant months; July and August are hot and busy.
