“ Hotel Excelsior: First Class with Spectacular Views!

Dubrovnik was our second to last stop on our three week Croatian vacation last October. We were with our two older kids (27 & 30)
A phenomenal hotel located right on the Adriatic with spectacular views of the Old City. Below is breakdown.
Checkin:
Was a Breeze. Friendly faces greeted up and
Service/Staff: First class, eager to please, always someone to help. Room always made up. Even as far as we LOVED how the hotel smelled. Went to concierge desk and asked. Sure enough, they told me and the Rituals of Karma are sitting in my house and I can always remember and have a piece of Dubrovnik with us by the glorious smell and not to mention the views.
Hotel Decor: Describe in one word - Elegant! Sitting areas in and out side to take advantage of the spectacular views.
Minor nit pick: elevators sometimes took a while so we often had to go up and down three floors of the spiral stairs. I definitely got my fitbit steps in.
Location: Perfect! Close enough to walk to the Old City but far enough away from the crowds.
Room: We booked a Villa Odak Deluxe Room w/Terrace (in the original part of the hotel). The extra money for the walk out terrace is definitely worth it. The room itself was nicely appointed with a stylish bathroom. But again the best part was the terrace overlooking the Adriatic and Old City. One of the best hotel rooms views we've ever had in our travels.
Restaurants/Food: We had all our dinners outside the hotel so we cant really comment on the restaurants. The Sensus looked very elegant but expensive.
We did eat the day we arrived for a late lunch outside at the Prora. The food, the views incredible. Their fries were delicious.
Their buffet breakfast was superb. They had EVERYTHING!
Overall: Five star all the way and strongly recommend
If you're a runner I strongly recommend an early run to and throughout the Old City before the stores open. Its so quiet, scenic with an incredible vibe. If you go the other direction out of the hotel you can find a path that goes high up along the water. Incredible views (yea its hilly and long but its worth it)

Where to begin - we received a very warm welcome on arrival & given information on breakfast, dining, spa facilities & the city centre. Our room was bright, airy, spacious & had the most spectacular views over the Adriatic, Old Town & Lokrum Island from the balconies. We took advantage of the balconies everyday & never tired from the truly breathtaking views or sunsets. Like others we slept with the balcony doors open & drifted off to the sound of the waves in our big & comfortable bed. The bathroom had every essential item you could possibly think of & luxuries too such as big fluffy towels, dressing gowns, slippers & L'Occitane toiletries - felt very pampered & absolutely fell in love with L'Occitane.
The breakfast room had stunning views too & the staff were extremely attentive, efficient & genuinely seemed happy to serve you. The food & drinks at the breakfast buffet were fresh, replenished regularly & loved the egg & waffle station - the waffles from the menu were also divine. They also had a separate gluten free section, with a great variety of offerings.
The hotel was spotlessly clean & well maintained. All staff members encountered had smiles on their face, went out of their way to help & were extremely friendly.
Villa Odak & the new building are both delightful, just comes down to personal preference - old or new. If you book a seaview room, you will not be disappointed. If not, there are many areas in the hotel were you can relax, unwind & enjoy the stunning scenery & views. The terrace is also a great place to enjoy the late afternoon sun or watch the sunset.
The location is just a short walk from Ploce Gate & Old Town.
We thoroughly loved our stay at the Excelsior & wouldn't stay anywhere else now in Dubrovnik. This truly is a wonderful 5* luxury hotel, with lots of nice touches & in the most perfect location.
