Hotel developments on the Dalmatian coast

Dalmatia is an increasingly popular destination for meetings and incentive groups, and while Dubrovnik and Hvar remain the favoured destinations, Split is growing in appeal. Both Dubrovnik and Split airports have seen major terminal upgrades and increased international flights and there have been plenty of exciting developments in the hotel scene too.

Hvar will finally welcome its first 5-star hotel this summer, as the Palace Elisabeth, Hvar heritage hotel will open its doors in June 2019 on Hvar's fabled main square. Located on the spot where organised tourism began in Europe in 1868, Palace Elisabeth is directly opposite the oldest public theatre in Europe, which will also reopen in May 2019 after renovation.
The hotel's history dates back to the 13th century and its heritage is well-preserved in all aspects, including its name. Formerly known as the Spa Hotel Empress Elisabeth when it opened in 1899, the hotel takes its name from Austrian Empress Elisabeth 'Sisi', whose generosity was responsible for the hotel's construction. Five suites and 45 luxury rooms will complement the indoor pool, luxury spa and two outdoor terraces.

Split is booming, and there are many new additions to the hotel scene which are bringing even greater choice to meetings and incentive tourism. Among them is Hotel Ambasador, which will open in June 2019.
Located on the site of a former hotel dating back to 1937, Hotel Ambasador is a waterfront hotel in Split's centre on its fabled riva. An investment of 17 million euros has produced a delightful addition to the Split hotel scene, with its 101 hotel rooms and suites, spa and a nightclub.

The Dalmatian capital will also be getting its largest hotel, as the first phase of Hotel Amphora resort will open its doors in May 2019. Located it in the popular district of Znjan, this waterfront 4-star hotel will initially open with its 207 rooms. This will be followed by the second phase, which will include a complete resort, including large spa, three swimming pools and a congress hall with capacity for 400 people. Amphora takes its name from the owner's large collection of amphorae. These date back to between 1800 and 2500 years and this important cultural heritage will be on display in the hotel.

An incentive favourite, Dubrovnik spoils event planners with a wide selection of hotels. Adding to the hotel options, the landmark hotel Bellevue opens its door after a large renovation.

Hotel Bellevue in Dubrovnik has also undergone its biggest renovation since 2006. The look of this iconic Dubrovnik hotel, which is carved into the rock in a spectacular waterfront location just 10 minutes from the old town, has had its look completely transformed by the Portuguese design studio Tereza Prego.

The 77 rooms and 14 suites are all individually designed and have been completely refurbished, offering a clean contemporary style and level of pampering and comfort to match the outstanding views. Bellevue is scheduled to reopen in May 2019.
