Slavija, Split
A serious injection of
cash has transformed a
formerly grungy dive into
this clean and welcoming
3-star hotel. Set inside
Diocletian’s palace, it has
simply furnished en-suite
rooms. If you can afford
it, splash out on suite 401,
with its separate sitting
area. Buvinina 2 • Map

as Split’s best hotel, the

the waterfront at Bavice.

Split, Split
Located 40 minutes’
walk from the old town,
the position of the Split
deters some guests,
though the stroll around
the bay is pleasant and
its rooms are light and
spacious. Book a room
with a balcony and sea
view. The hotel has its
own beach, outdoor pool
and parking. Put

Bellevue, Split
The simple rooms at
the Bellevue are light and
of a good size. Some have
views out towards Split’s
waterfront, others onto
the attractive Austro-
Hungarian influenced
square. The café spills
out onto Trg Republike
and is a pleasant place to
while away an hour or so.

Fontana, Trogir
This old-town hotel
offers large, if slightly oldfashioned,
rooms. Those

the extra charge and the
hotel’s well-equipped
apartment suits families.

combination. Some rooms

points. It is the only hotel

word of warning: adjacent
to a lively bar, the hotel
is not for light sleepers.
