About Hotels in Split

Split is one of the Mediterranean's most extraordinary cities, where everyday life unfolds inside a UNESCO-listed Roman emperor's palace, Diocletian's Palace, built in the fourth century. Visitors come for the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, the buzzing Pazar market, fresh seafood along the Riva promenade, and the electric atmosphere of Hajduk Split matches at Stadion Poljud.

From boutique stone-walled apartments within the Old Town to modern seafront hotels in Meje and Bačvice, Split's accommodation options span every style and budget. The compact city centre is highly walkable, and the Split bus network and harbour ferries connect the wider Dalmatian coast with ease.

Where to Stay in Split

Old Town (Diocletian's Palace)

The ultimate base for first-timers. You'll sleep within Roman walls, steps from the Peristyle, the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, and the lively bars and restaurants of Bosanska Street.

Meje

Split's most prestigious residential address, offering upscale hotels and villas overlooking the Adriatic. Close to the Meštrovič Gallery and a short walk from the Riva waterfront promenade.

Bačvice

A lively, youthful neighbourhood centred on the famous picigin beach. Packed with bars, clubs, and seafood restaurants, it appeals to travellers who want nightlife and a sandy shore nearby.

Veli Varoš

A quiet, characterful quarter of narrow limestone lanes and traditional Dalmatian cottages just uphill from the Old Town. Excellent value and genuinely local, yet within easy walking distance of the centre.

Airport and Transport Guide

Split is served by Split Airport (SPU), officially known as Split Airport Resnik, located around 25 kilometres west of the city centre near Trogir. Regular shuttle bus services operated by Pleso Prijevoz connect the airport to the main bus terminal in Split, with a journey time of approximately 30–40 minutes. Buses run in line with flight schedules throughout the day, with taxis available around the clock for late arrivals.

Within Split, the city bus network run by Promet Split covers the main areas including the Old Town, Meje, and Spinut. A single journey ticket costs around 1.30 EUR when purchased in advance, and day passes offer good value for sightseeing. Taxis from the city centre to most local destinations typically cost 10–20 EUR; ride-hailing via Bolt is widely used and generally cheaper than street taxis.

Tips for Finding the Best Hotel Deal in Split

  • Book 8–10 weeks ahead for peak summer dates — Ultra Europe festival in July and Pol&Bear events fill Split hotels almost instantly.
  • Staying in Meje or Spinut offers quieter streets and lower nightly rates than the Old Town, with frequent Promet Split bus connections.
  • Look for hotels that include breakfast — waterfront café prices in Split are high, so a good hotel breakfast saves meaningful daily spend.
  • Choose free cancellation rates where possible, as summer weather and ferry schedules can shift plans at short notice in Split.
  • Weekend stays command noticeably higher prices in Split throughout summer; midweek arrivals from Tuesday to Thursday offer better value.
  • Join loyalty programmes with chains well represented in Split — Marriott and Best Western both operate properties here with regular member rates.

When to Visit Split for Lower Prices

Winter (Low Season)

November to February brings mild but quiet days and the lowest hotel prices of the year. The Old Town is peaceful and atmospheric without summer crowds. Expect rates from around £45–£75 per night at mid-range hotels.

Spring (Value Season)

March to May offers warming temperatures, blooming coastal scenery, and prices well below summer peaks. The Diocletian's Palace area is comfortably walkable and ferries to the islands begin running more frequently from April.

Summer (High Season)

June to August is Split's peak season, driven by beach tourism, music festivals, and Adriatic sailing holidays. Temperatures regularly exceed 32°C and hotel prices reach their annual high. Booking several months ahead is strongly advised.

Autumn (Value Season)

September and October retain warm, settled weather with noticeably fewer visitors than July and August. Prices drop steadily from mid-September, and the sea remains warm enough for swimming well into October.

Popular Areas to Stay in Split

Diocletian's Palace

The historic heart of Split, where Roman walls enclose boutique hotels, bars, and restaurants. Unbeatable for sightseeing but expect noise and premium prices, particularly in summer.

Manuš

A quiet residential quarter just inland from the palace, favoured by locals and business travellers. Good transport links, calmer streets, and noticeably lower rates than the waterfront.

Bačvice

Split's most popular beach neighbourhood, lively in summer with seafront bars and the famous picigin tradition. Well-suited to leisure stays but can be noisy on weekend evenings.

Spinut

A largely residential marina district northwest of the centre, popular with yacht travellers and longer stays. Quieter atmosphere, marina views, and competitive pricing away from tourist crowds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Diocletian's Palace puts you at the very centre of the old town, ideal for sightseeing but pricier and livelier at night. Bačvice suits beach-focused leisure travellers. Manuš offers a calmer, more local atmosphere with good value. For business travel, Manuš and Spinut provide easy access to the port and city offices without the tourist premium.
Yes, budget options exist, particularly in Manuš and the residential streets behind Bačvice, where nightly rates typically range from £40 to £75 in the shoulder season. In peak July and August, even budget properties rise sharply, so booking early is essential. Outside those months, availability is good and last-minute deals are common.
Bačvice is the top family choice, with its shallow sandy bay ideal for children and easy access to Bačvice Park, a large green space with playgrounds and walking paths. The Croatian Maritime Museum in the old town also appeals to older children. Avoid staying directly inside Diocletian's Palace if travelling with young children, as bar noise continues late into the night throughout summer.
November through February offers the lowest rates, with many properties discounting significantly mid-week compared to weekends year-round. Prices climb from Easter onward and peak sharply in July and August. Avoid booking around the Ultra Europe music festival in July, the Split Summer Festival in July and August, and the Feast of Saint Domnius on 7 May, when demand and rates spike considerably.
Split is an excellent short-break destination; three to four nights is ideal. The UNESCO-listed Diocletian's Palace, the waterfront Riva promenade, and the nearby islands of Brač and Hvar give it real depth. Croatia Airlines and several low-cost carriers serve Split Airport directly from across Europe, making it straightforward to reach from most UK and continental cities year-round.
Free-cancellation rooms are widely available in Split and easy to filter for when searching. It is worth booking early with a flexible rate during the peak Adriatic summer season, particularly July and August, and around the Ultra Europe festival in July, as demand spikes sharply. Expect to pay roughly a 10–15% premium over non-refundable rates for the added flexibility.
The Radisson Blu Resort & Spa Split and the Hotel Vestibul Palace are among the most acclaimed luxury options, the latter occupying a remarkable space within Diocletian's Palace itself. Reliable mid-range stays include properties under the Best Western banner. For boutique character, the lanes inside the Old Town palace walls and the Manuš neighbourhood both offer charming independent hotels.
Split Airport (officially Resnik Airport) lies around 25 kilometres west of the centre. Pleso Prijevoz runs a dedicated airport bus service that stops at the main bus terminal on Domovinskog rata, with a journey of roughly 30 minutes. A taxi or ride-share takes around 25 minutes and costs approximately 250–350 Croatian kuna equivalent in euros, depending on traffic.
