About Hotels in Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is one of the Adriatic's most captivating destinations, where a perfectly preserved medieval Old Town, the spectacular Walls of Dubrovnik, the Rector's Palace, and a thriving seafood dining scene combine to create something genuinely unforgettable. Whether you're walking the ancient ramparts, taking the cable car up Mount Srđ, or island-hopping to Lokrum, Croatia's pearl of the Adriatic rewards at every turn.
From grand heritage hotels within the Old Town to contemporary seaside retreats in Lapad, Dubrovnik's accommodation spans every style and budget. The Old Town is highly walkable, and the city's efficient bus network connects outlying neighbourhoods quickly and conveniently.
Where to Stay in Dubrovnik
Old Town
The historic heart of Dubrovnik and the ideal base for first-time visitors. Steps from the Stradun, city walls, Rector's Palace, and the best konobas. Unmatched for atmosphere and convenience.
Ploče
Dubrovnik's most prestigious address, just east of the Old Town. Home to grand five-star hotels with sweeping Adriatic views, elegant restaurants, and easy access to both the old ramparts and Banje Beach.
Lapad
A relaxed peninsula neighbourhood popular with travellers seeking a quieter stay. Lapad Bay has its own pebble beach, a lively promenade lined with cafés, and good bus connections into the Old Town.
Gruž
Dubrovnik's harbour district offers a more local, residential feel with excellent value accommodation. Close to the ferry terminal for island day trips and well served by buses into the city centre.
Airport and Transport Guide
Dubrovnik is served by Dubrovnik Airport (DBV), also known as Čilipi Airport, with direct seasonal and year-round connections to major European hubs. Atlas and Libertas shuttle buses operate a regular service linking the airport to the Pile Gate and Dubrovnik Bus Station in around 30–45 minutes. Services run throughout the day to coincide with flight arrivals, with the last buses timed to late evening flights.
Within the city, Libertas operates the local bus network, with Route 6 being the most useful for visitors, connecting Pile Gate to Dubrovnik Bus Station. A single ticket costs around 20 HRK (approximately £2.50) when purchased on board, or less from a kiosk. Taxis are metered but fares from the Old Town to most hotels typically range from 50–150 HRK. Bolt operates in Dubrovnik and is generally cheaper than street taxis.
Tips for Finding the Best Hotel Deal in Dubrovnik
- Book at least 8–10 weeks in advance during the Dubrovnik Summer Festival in July and August, when accommodation across the city sells out rapidly.
- Staying in Lapad or Gruž offers noticeably lower nightly rates than the Old Town, with frequent Libertas bus connections to the historic centre.
- Look for hotels that include breakfast — with Old Town café prices among Croatia's highest, a good hotel breakfast saves meaningful money each morning.
- Check for free cancellation when booking, as Dubrovnik's peak season demand shifts quickly and last-minute changes to summer travel plans are common.
- Weekends command higher prices year-round in Dubrovnik due to consistent leisure demand; midweek stays from Tuesday to Thursday typically offer better value.
- Sign up to loyalty programmes at larger hotel groups — Valamar and Adriatic Luxury Hotels both have a strong Dubrovnik presence and offer regular member rates.
When to Visit Dubrovnik for Lower Prices
Winter (Low Season)
November to February sees the Old Town at its quietest and most atmospheric. Crowds thin dramatically and hotel prices drop to their lowest of the year. Expect mid-range rates from around £50–£85 per night, though some smaller properties close entirely.
Spring (Value Season)
March to May brings warming temperatures, blooming gardens along the Dalmatian coast, and prices well below the summer peak. The Old Town is walkable without crowds, making it one of the most rewarding times to visit Dubrovnik.
Summer (High Season)
June to August is Dubrovnik's peak season, with cruise ships, the Dubrovnik Summer Festival, and Game of Thrones tourism driving prices to their highest. Book far in advance and expect a significant premium across all hotel categories.
Autumn (Value Season)
September and October offer warm Adriatic weather, fewer crowds than the summer peak, and prices beginning to ease. A compelling combination of comfortable conditions, open restaurants and beaches, and noticeably better value than July or August.
Popular Areas to Stay in Dubrovnik
Old Town (Stari Grad)
The historic heart of Dubrovnik, encircled by medieval walls and steps from the Rector's Palace and Stradun. Unbeatable for sightseeing but the priciest and busiest part of the city.
Lapad
A residential peninsula west of the centre with a pleasant bay beach and a leafy promenade. Popular with families and those wanting calmer surroundings without sacrificing good transport links.
Gruž
Dubrovnik's working port district, home to the main ferry terminal and bus station. Practical and affordable, it suits business travellers or those with early departures to the islands.
Ploče
An upscale neighbourhood just east of the Old Town, favoured for its luxury hotels, sea-view terraces, and quiet residential streets. Closer to Banje Beach than the city walls.
