"Newly renovated five-star on a south-facing headland."

"The ten-story building is no thing of beauty, but who cares when the design (with its bulging front and setbacks) allows for all 308 rooms to have a private, full-sea-view balcony?"

"The rooms are decorated in subtle shades of beige and gray, and all have a sea view and balcony affording stunning sunsets, and a flat-screen TV."

"As a luxury tourist destination, the Palace deserves no more than a mixed review even though it has reigned over Dubrovnik's hotel scene for years." Full review

"A renovation in 2004 brought luxury and a firstrate spa to this large hotel on the Lapad Peninsula."

"Blessed with end-of-the-road tranquility, this top-tier conference resort is set well away from the hustle and bustle of the old city and competes well above the landlocked Hilton." Full review

"This ten-floor, 308-room luxury hotel reconfigured in 2004 was conceived in 1972, set in woodland paths at the tip of Lapad, in full view of the Elafiti isles." Full review

"The 308-room Hotel Dubrovnik Palace is a five-pearl cliffside hotel with dramatic sea views." Full review

"Located at a secluded tip of the Lapad peninsula, this vast five-star hotel is undeniably chic, with indoor and outdoor pools plus a swim-up bar, shady walking and jogging trails on the grounds, and an excellent restaurant (the truffle risotto is a must-try)" Full review
