PB hotel design editorial

Few hotels on the Adriatic can claim a site as audacious as this one — a wooded limestone promontory on Dubrovnik's Lapad Peninsula, three sides wrapped by the sea, the old city visible across the water to the east. Hotel Dubrovnik Palace was built into that headland in the 1970s in the monumental modernist manner favored by Yugoslav-era tourism development, its stepped white facade cascading down toward the Adriatic in terraced volumes that echo the karst geography beneath. A substantial renovation in 2005 brought the property forward without erasing its structural confidence, expanding it to 308 rooms and suites across multiple floors, each oriented to capture the uninterrupted sea horizon that defines the experience here. The interiors, refreshed during that renovation, work with warm oak veneers, neutral-toned carpeting, and geometric woven bed throws — a restrained palette that keeps attention on the water beyond the full-height glazed balcony doors. Bedrooms carry an abstract tree-branch mural on the headboard wall, a motif that nods to the dense Aleppo pine forest covering the promontory above. Plum-upholstered armchairs on oak legs add a mid-century inflection without committing fully to period reproduction. On the lower terraces, the pool is carved close enough to the karst edge that raw limestone boulders remain in place at the waterline — a detail that grounds the whole composition in the geology that made this particular headland worth building on at all. The timber-pergola restaurant, set directly above the sea, completes the picture at dusk.

About

Situated on the beautiful peninsula of Lapad, the hotel's dramatic cliffside location, below the aromatic, pine-covered Petka woods, affords spectacular views in every direction. Fully renovated in 2014, each of the 308 contemporary rooms and suites all have private balconies and beautiful sea views. Great food and excellent service prevail. During your stay, you will be tempted to try out everything that is on offer: four swimming pools, one of which is indoors, hotel beach, tennis courts, fabulous snorkeling and a PADI diving centre, as well as a leafy jogging path and walking routes through the woods behind the hotel.

"Unbelievably beautiful hotel. Calm, clean, quiet. Fabulous buffet breakfast with the gracious Maryjana welcoming everyone so beautifully. Great attentive servers. Beautiful pools, beautiful views. We loved our stay here and wish them well in the coming season."

"Just left after spending 3 nights at the hotel and it’s safe to say you pay for the view not the facilities / amenities. The rooms are a nice size, the bed is huge and the facilities in the room are pretty typical for what you’d get in all hotels but nothing exceptional. The room was cleaned everyday and a chocolate left on your bedside table but they failed to bother dusting the headboard and thick dust was also found in other parts of the room. Breakfast is average and basic at best, we didn’t bother having breakfast on Day 3 as it was uninspiring. The staff in the hotel are very helpful and friendly. I’m not sure how the hotel can call it a 5 star hotel, it is lacking in a lot of nice touches which is a shame as the view from your room and the pool area is superb."

"Staying at this hotel has been an incredible experience, from the stunning views, exceptional staff and great food. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome, and the lobby itself greets you with fantastic views. The room was well presented and clean with thoughtful touches such as wine and chocolates. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of options and attentive staff always available to assist with drinks. The facilities are exquisite with a relaxing spa area, outdoor pools and a whole host of other options. The location of the hotel is far enough out to be peaceful and close enough to all the major areas that nothing is too far away. The bus to the old town runs like clockwork directly outside the hotel! The views this hotel offers are breathtaking looking out towards the elafiti islands (which are well worth a trip to). We did a lot of day trips and nearly all of them picked us up directly from the hotel. Staying in this hotel has been nothing but a pleasure and it’s been a long time since I’ve felt so rejuvenated and relaxed. That’s all down to the brilliant staff and the attention to detail. If you’re looking to explore Dubrovnik and the wider area this is the place to do it! I will certainly be coming back."

"This hotel is incredible. A bit of a pinch me moment as we couldnt believe how lucky we were and how great the hotel was. The staff are amazing. Truly amazing. Very attentive, very smiley, very friendly. They cant do enough for guests. The facilities - wow. The hotel is a wow. The hotel lobby with its huge windows overlooking the bay, the rooms are spotless, view from our room was to die for. Restuarant was great. We were half board. Breakfast was a buffet, an absolute feast. Dinner was a multiple choice of local food. Meats, cheeses, salad, fish. The lot. We were there out of season and the pool bar wasnt open nor was Restaurant Ponta but we didnt notice. One night the main restaurant was being used for a conference and we were asked to have dinner in the Maslina Tavern. You MUST eat there. The food was incredible. All in all, this is probably the best holiday hotel I have ever stayed in."

"Our stay at the Palace Hotel was amazing from the moment we arrived until the day we left. Every member of staff was incredibly welcoming and hospitable. Their friendliness felt genuine and warm, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The views from our room, as well as from the restaurants and spa, were absolutely breathtaking, to which I already miss them. Our room was very spacious, beautifully decorated, and featured a comfortable king-size bed and a generously sized bathroom. The housekeeping staff were especially lovely and attentive. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of choices. Although the selection was quite similar each day, it didn’t take away from the experience at all. The spa facilities were fantastic. There is a lovely indoor swimming pool with a jacuzzi and sauna, gym, as well as an outdoor pool offering stunning sea views. What impressed us most was the hotel manager, Hrvoje, who took the time to personally chat with guests. We had a wonderful conversation about Dubrovnik, and as a thoughtful gesture to celebrate our first visit, he surprised us the next day with a chilled bottle of wine. I would highly recommend this hotel not only for its beautiful views, but above all for its caring and attentive staff. I truly felt like a princess during my stay, and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you all for your outstanding professionalism and we will definitely be back soon."
