Why Hotel Excelsior Stands Out

  • Iconic Location: A mere 600 m from Old Town, with panoramic views of Dubrovnik and Lokrum Island
  • Heritage & Design: First opened in 1913, its façade is protected by conservationists—inside, the Tower blends modern airy neutrals with heritage elegance.
  • Spa & Wellness: Over 850 m² of rejuvenation, with an indoor pool, Roman and Finnish saunas, Jacuzzis and premium treatments.
  • Dining Experience: Breakfast at Salin terrace with sunrise views; Prora steps from the sea; Sensus fine dining.

Rooms & Suites – Views That Take Your Breath Away

Choose from 158 rooms blending classic and contemporary—many with sea-view balconies and elegant furnishings that feel both grounded and luxurious. Executive and Presidential Suites deliver expansiveness, jacuzzis, and terrazza panoramics.

Insider Tips

  • Try a dawn stroll along the private sea terrace—for a lavender-tinged Adriatic moment you won’t forget.
  • Watch the sunset from Sensus terrace, cocktail in hand, as the Old Town walls glow gold.
  • Combine a walking tour of Game of Thrones sites, then return for a Daenerys-themed drink at the piano bar.

Local Experiences & Excursions

  • Walk the City Walls: Allow 1–1.5 hours for dramatic vistas and medieval storytelling.
  • Boat to Lokrum: A 15-minute hop to serene gardens, a monastery, and swimming opportunities.
  • Day Trip to Ston: Oyster farms and fortified walls just a short drive away—oysters, sea views, and history all in one.
