Hotel Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik stands just outside the medieval Dubrovnik City Walls. It combines late 19th century charm with modern technology, with spacious rooms, a nice restaurant with terrace in the front garden, a spa with indoor pool, and facilities for meetings and events. Free WiFi access is available in all areas.

Elegant Stay at Hotel Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik
You step into a leafy courtyard and immediately feel a step back in time. Hotel Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik sits just 0.2 km outside the Old Town walls, close enough that you can almost hear the clinking of café cups in the evening, far enough that the garden’s birdsong feels like your welcome note. The place has late-19th century charm with modern touches that don’t shout. It’s one of those historic Dubrovnik hotels that balances time-travelling glamour with steady, now-day comfort.
They’ve refreshed interiors since 2018, but the painted cornices, elegant staircases, and colorful balcony railings still whisper stories of Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson dancing in the garden in 1936. The spa, indoor pool, and terrace restaurant all feel unhurried and thoughtful. And yes, the free wifi works, but you probably won’t notice it too much while you’re sipping a cocktail under the apricot-tinged twilight.
Accommodations at Hotel Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik
The rooms here are roomy, not in a generic way, but with that quiet dignity you notice when you unpack and feel at ease. The style is elegant, a hint of modern tempered by classic details: soft tones, comfortable bedding, and enough old-world character to remind you this building remembers. The executive lounge up top comes with views leaning toward Fort Lovrijenac and a sense of “belonging”.
Dining Near Hotel Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik
There’s a restaurant with a terrace set just off the front garden. Don't be surprised to see yourself returning to it, first for the breakfast baskets that smell of fresh bread and citrus, then again in the evening for wine with a friend, the city walls glowing behind you. It’s not flashy, but it’s steady and warm. Just a few minutes’ walk and you’re stepping into Old Town’s alleys, where charming cafés, restaurants and konobas promise olive oil-drenched surprises.
Guest Experiences at Hotel Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik
Guests often remark on the hotel’s “gracious spirit” and how, “despite being so close to the hustle of Old Town, you can barely hear anything past the fountain.” In one review from mid-2025, a traveler mentioned that the spa felt like “a quiet refuge between centuries”.
Explore Dubrovnik from Hotel Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik
Morning: Start with coffee in the garden, you might find yourself lingering because the light is just right. Then walk the few steps into Old Town via Pile Gate (0.2 km or so), and maybe catch that sunrise casting soft golden lines along the City Walls.
Late Morning: Pop into Rector’s Palace or wander toward the Franciscan Monastery, both only a few minutes away on foot, with cool shadows and stone-arched corridors.
Afternoon: Take a breather at nearby Šulić Beach or climb toward Fort Lovrijenac (1.5 km) for that postcard view that feels yours alone.
Evening: Return for a quiet drink in the courtyard or head into town for seafood under hanging lanterns. Either way, you’ll feel both part of the city and gently removed from it.

It’s elegant, historic, quietly modern. But what sticks is that soft garden light and the thought that this hotel doesn’t shout for your attention, it nudges it softly, with a knowing smile. If you crave a Dubrovnik stay that feels grounded in place and time, with a touch of story in every corner, Hilton Imperial may just surprise you.
Tip: Ask for a room with a view of the city walls at sunset, you might end up rewinding your day just to watch the light fade.
