Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik

A waterside jewel with a dazzling heritage and views of Dubrovnik old town

When past guests have included kings, queens and Hollywood royalty, you know a hotel is going to be special. Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik is exactly that, pairing luxury style with a passion for hospitality that saw it welcome guests throughout a turbulent 20th century. After a captivating renovation, this boutique hotel remains one of the most enviable addresses in Dubrovnik.

This luxury hotel is one of two halves: the original 1913 royal villa and a sleek contemporary wing. This mingling of past and present is echoed in the interior styling by Franić-Šekoranja studio. Think understated colour themes with pops of bright citrus and decadent velvet furnishings. The real wonder of this hotel is where indoors meets out. Whether that’s sipping coffee on your balcony, enjoying breakfast on the sun-soaked Salin terrace, or a romantic dinner under the waterside arches at Prora restaurant.

Actively sustainable luxury hotels

Environmentally Conscious

For this Travelife Gold certified hotel, protecting the UNESCO heritage site of Dubrovnik’s medieval Old Town and nearby islands of Lokrum and Mljet is at the forefront of its ‘light touch’ approach to tourism. Private sightseeing tours of the Old Town are available on request, followed by a short boat ride to the island of Lokrum which is home to a forest reserve of roaming wildlife and resident peacocks. Guests are given guidelines on how to follow the conservation-driven rules of the national park during their stay on in-room IPTV slides, as well as energy-saving tips to support Hotel Excelsior in its eco efforts. These include smart room controls which help the hotel reduce its overall energy consumption, installing e-vehicle charging stations and water-saving applications, and removing single-use plastic. The hotel’s parent company, Adriatic Luxury Hotels, has partnered with Dubrovnik & Mljet Eco Actions to support the annual cleaning of local marine ecosystems, in addition to donating to local ‘plastic-free Adriatic’ organisations which encourage guests to collect and repurpose plastic waste removed from the Adriatic coastline and seabed.

Cultural Custodians

With a wealth of UNESCO-protected history on its doorstep, Hotel Excelsior continuously educates guests on how to sensitively visit ancient sites of archaeological, cultural, and spiritual importance through guided tours and digital communication. Many of the original artefacts which were found during the hotel’s renovation have been preserved and displayed, while special parts of the heritage buildings were kept intact and cleverly blended with more contemporary architecture – which is why some of the hotel’s villas have been placed under cultural protection. Villa Odak – in the old wing of Hotel Excelsior - is a former royal villa which has hosted international figures from Queen Elizabeth II to King Olaf of Norway, and a landmark building in its own right. Villa Agave was constructed on the foundations of the 16th century St. Lazarus chapel, where two of the original walls remain and a valuable treasury of fine art and antiques has been preserved – and later became the summer house of famed archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans. Adriatic Luxury Hotels also sponsors a list of cultural institutions and artistic festivals, including the Dubrovnik Museum of Modern Art.

Community Minded

Locality and authenticity are at the heart of Hotel Excelsior’s ethos. Guests can immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Dubrovnik and its artisan community through a number of locally-run experiences – including a private tour of the Ston oyster farm on a traditional fisherman’s boat, where you’ll learn how to gather oysters from the sea and open them the ‘old-fashioned’ way. A local farmer also welcomes guests into his agritourism estate in nearby Konavle, to gather ingredients from the garden, fresh eggs from the coop, and milk the goat in preparation for traditional cooking classes – accompanied by stories from the farmer’s 500-year family tree. The hotel’s chefs take great interest in the provenance of their ingredients, to reduce food miles and support the local supply chain, featuring traditional local delicacies on the menu such as ‘mantala’ – a Dubrovnik fruit dessert – washed down with a carefully curated wine list from local vineyards.

The hotel was quiet as it was the end of season.

Dinner at Sensus was a wonderful and memorable experience with Chef and the service staff.

outstanding service and view

outstanding service, amazing view and convenient location. Spa/sauna is disappointing and pretty noisy. Americanized lunch menu with burger, sandwiches and no local food

By Werner Sep ’23 Trip Type Couple

Very nice staff and location but anything but small! It is a modern highly effecient hotel.

We enjoyed the help and support of the concierge. She was awesome and the diner reservations made were excellent.

By Paul Sep ’22 Trip Type Business

By Taylor Sep ’22 Trip Type Friends

The only major flaw was the wrong bill and check out

The nice dinner and friendly attitudes of Mr. Petar Obad.

By Nobuyuki Aug ’22 Trip Type Business

Nice, but not small hotel. Rooms at Villa Odak very nice. Restaurant for dinner could be better.

Close to the old town, just a few minutes walking. Bar is very nice with nice modern atmosphere.

By Peter Apr ’22 Trip Type Couple

Gem of a hotel

Very much appreciated the generous upgrade to the Villa. The room was super well equipped and had great seas views and was luxurious. Being able to jump straight into the sea is such a bonus as you can avoid busy beaches. Super near the old town

Food And Drinks

At Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik, it may be a struggle to tear yourself away from the bewitching views long enough to look at the menu. Each of the three hotel restaurants and the laid-back piano bar are in sublime settings with slightly different characters. Salin is made for leisurely breakfasts. Chic Sensus offers the perfect excuse to dress up. While Prora is pure romantic, waterside bliss. When you finally open the menu, expect a feast of beautifully prepared seafood, with local oysters a standout dish. You are right beside the Adriatic, after all.

Restaurant Prora

Served Meals: Lunch, Dinner Set directly by the sea- offering intimate views of the picture-perfect of the Lokrum Island and the Old Town- Prora Beach Restaruant serves sun-drenched summer lunches or romantic dinners showcasing local seafood alongside regional fish and meat.

Sensus Fine Dining Restaurant

Served Meals: Lunch, Dinner The menu designed for our Sensus Restaurant has been created to reflect its sleek and contemporary interiors- unconventional and creative dishes are made from fresh local delicacies and carefully paired with finest Croatian wines from from the shelves of our wine cellar that line the walls.

Restaurant Salin

Served Meals: Breakfast The light-adorned terrace of Restaurant Salin is one of the best places in Dubrovnik to start your day enjoying a classic international buffet breakfast overlooking the photogenic Old Town.

Spa

Pause, and let the sense of calm of the Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik spa wash over you. This is a place to relax, recover and re-energise in serene and stylish surrounds. Send ripples through the still, fresh water pool. Sink into a hot tub. Or choose your favourite steam room style – Finnish sauna, Turkish hammam or Roman bath? That’s all before you even get to the treatments. Sisley facials, detox rituals and post-plane massages will help you ease into holiday mode after a long journey.
