libertas@rixos.com, www.rixos.com. This grandiose<br />
cliff-side hotel, once a Dubrovnik trademark, was totally<br />
ruined during <strong>the</strong> 1991-95 war and stood derelict for ages<br />
before finally receiving <strong>the</strong> full makeover <strong>the</strong> place deserved.<br />
With full-sized trees in <strong>the</strong> lobby and cool minimalist design<br />
throughout, it’s an impressive place. Rooms are decked out<br />
in subdued beiges and whites, many featuring glass walled<br />
bathrooms (so you can look seawards while showering).<br />
The wellness centre covers pretty much everything from<br />
a Turkish bath to chocolate massage and a Jacuzzi that<br />
can be filled with milk - if you’ve always dreamed <strong>of</strong> acting<br />
out your Anthony-and-Cleopatra fantasies <strong>the</strong>n you’ll<br />
never have a better chance. The hotel’s impressively<br />
large congress halls are situated right next door to <strong>the</strong><br />
24hr casino - is this a metaphor for <strong>the</strong> close relationship<br />
between corporate culture and <strong>the</strong> one-armed bandit? Q254<br />
