Rough Guide
"Plush rooms, faultless service and the glass-roofed indoor pool are the main attributes."
Concierge
"It was a red-letter day in May 2005 when the early-19th-century Hotel Imperial was reopened, no matter who was responsible for its renovation."
Frommer's
"When we've had enough of "quaint" and "rustic," in Dalmatia, we head for the Hilton Imperial, the international chain's first hotel in Croatia." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"The former Imperial Hotel, just outside the Pile Gate, reopened its doors after a long wait in 2005, as the Hilton Imperial."
Time Out
"Occupying a grand, fin-de-siècle building near the Pile Gate, the Hilton has location without the beachside grace of other five-star venues in town." Full review
Lonely Planet
"This is no bland corporate affair but a sensitive renovation of a grand 19th-century Hapsburg mansion, and located within a few steps of the Pile Gate."

"Inside Old Town, you rarely see the sea, and it's hard to grasp the fortified walls' dramatic immensity."

Ask for a room with a sea view—if you can't see the water and the walls, what's the point?
DK Eyewitness
"Restored to its full 5-star glory, the Argentina is in the district of Ploče (just east of the gate of the same name). Choose a room in the main hotel or in one of four villas."
Star Service
"Located 800 meters east of the Ploce Gate and within walking distance of the Old Town, this beachside hotel overlooks Lokrum Island." Full review

Avoid those on the top floor (7) that face the noisy street.

Independent
"Like its neighbour Villa Orsula, the larger and more affordable Grand Villa Argentina has sublime views of the walled Old Town from its extensive gardens, pool and bathing platforms"
