Croatia
Trip Planning & Itineraries
Only 15 years ago Croatia's principal visitors were peacekeepers and aid workers. Now it's become Europe's latest 'gotta go' destination. Yachts glide up the coast, movie stars discreetly arrange to buy an island or two and no Mediterranean cruise is complete without a stop in Dubrovnik.
Despite the hype, Croatia's pleasures are more timeless than trendy. Crystalline water laps gently at a 1778km-long coast and no less than 1,185 islands. Away from the coast, eight national parks protect pristine forests, karstic mountains, lakes and waterfalls in a landscape of primeval beauty.

Just a couple of miles from Dubrovnik's Old Town, the Palace is Dubrovnik's top business choice for a super-classy blend of high comfort, great facilities and stylish modernism. The hotel's nine floors are stepped up in layers, etched into a rocky headland. There's no beach but every one of the rooms faces the sea and has a private balcony, ideal for watching the sunset. Another bonus are the four swimming pools, including an indoor one with big windows offering a panoramic view across the bay to the mountainous Dalmatian coastline.
This well-located seafront complex has hosted famous guests from Margaret Thatcher and Michael Bloomberg to Richard Burton and Liz Taylor. Think rich decor, marble bathrooms and all the ritz you can imagine. The main hotel offers luxury suites and sleek, well-serviced rooms with bright, airy decor and bold paintings. Enjoy swimming in the indoor and outdoor pools, or jump into the sea from the rocks next to the hotel.
The luxurious Imperial was built in 1895 and is superbly situated within a near the Pile Gate. The obliging staff at the Imperial seem noticeably brighter and friendlier than at many of Dubrovnik's other top hotels. Guests love the generous king-sized beds and unlimited tea- and coffee-making facilities. Another feature is the indoor pool, which, with its glass dome covering, feels like a latter-day Roman spa. Book a Guestroom for a good view of the Old Town or an Executive room for a private terrace.
Suggested Itineraries: Croatia
Dubrovnik's appeal lies in the old town of Stari Grad, with its marble-paved squares, steep cobbled streets, tall houses, convents, churches, palaces, fountains and museums, all cut from the same light-colored stone. Although Dubrovnik was heavily shelled in 1991 and '92, it has been largely restored.
Dubrovnik's city walls were built between the 13th and 16th centuries, and are still intact today. Arguably the finest city walls in the world, they are 25m (82ft) high, with 16 towers. You can't beat the view, and a walk along the walls will probably be the highlight of your visit to Dubrovnik.
