If you're reading this, you've likely already decided to visit Croatia— great choice! Split is a stunning city with a variety of hotel options, though not all may align with your vision. As a Croatian living in the Hamptons, I understand the sweet spot where heritage blends seamlessly with luxury. Convenience and a well-matched price point matter, and, of course, let’s not overlook the gourmet experience. Located in the Old Town, our favorite hotels are just a short stroll from Split's main attractions! Immerse yourself in the charm of the city, where you can experience the rich traditions, vibrant culture, and splendid surroundings. Staying within this historic heart of the city is the best way to truly experience Split's unique atmosphere, allowing you to live like a local and soak in its authentic character. Opting for a boutique stay here offers a far more intimate and immersive experience than booking a large chain hotel, often located outside the Old Town and lacking the charm and personal touch that define Split's true essence.
