Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik

One of the most famous hotel in Dubrovnik. Spa, a la card, finding, restaurant " Prora ", top staff and spectacular view on Dubrovnik... ... The Queen slept here... do you need any more recommendations...

Dubrovnik was our last stop on our two week Croatian vacation last September/October. A phenomenal hotel located right on the Adriatic with spectacular views of Adriatic, Lokrum island and of the Old City from the balconies. We originally just booked a regular garden view room but decided to upgrade to a sea view a few months before and so happy we did. It was amazing. Where to begin - we received a very warm welcome on arrival and were given all necessary hotel information (breakfast, dining, spa facilities, etc.). As mentioned our room had spectacular views of the Adriatic and the room was bright, airy, and spacious. We stayed in the old Villa Odak which was recently renovated and we loved it. It truly was fantastic. 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 in the big & comfortable bed. The hotel was spotlessly clean & well maintained. The best part about the hotel was its staff. The staff of the hotel was simply amazing, each and every one of them. They always had smiles on their faces and were eager to help. We started our nights off with drinks and food at the bar and got to know the team there before heading off for dinner. They were all terrific. They remembered each afternoon/evening what wine we liked and had it for us when we sat down. The concierge was wonderful and she made a few terrific dinner reservations for us. She also knew that we were celebrating an anniversary and when she called the restaurant to tell them they sat us up above on the balcony which was amazing. Every one of the team had a smile on their face, went out of their way to help & were extremely friendly. Thank you so much team for making our stay at your incredible hotel a fantastic one. The hotel has elegant sitting areas in and out side to take advantage of the spectacular views. 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. But most importantly an INCREDIBLE TEAM OF PEOPLE. We look forward to going back to this amazing hotel and we highly recommend it. Thank you again Hotel Excelsior for an incredible stay. Best, Donna & George (NYC)

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)
