Hotel Splendid

Hotel Splendid is a three-star Maestral-group hotel at Masarykov put 10 on Lapad Bay in Dubrovnik, Croatia. It sits in a Mediterranean garden beside the pebble beach of the bay, in the Lapad district a few kilometres northwest of the Old Town, which is reached by city bus in roughly 20 minutes or by taxi. The surroundings are green and relaxed, with palms, pines and a seafront promenade that leads to cafes and restaurants. The architecture is traditional seaside-hotel style, low and spread through the garden, and the atmosphere is that of a classic Adriatic family holiday rather than a luxury resort. Rooms are offered as Double and Twin Rooms with air conditioning and wifi, and breakfast is included in many rates, which suits guests who plan full days of sightseeing. Parking is available at the property, a useful feature in a city where it is scarce. Beach access is the main draw, with sun loungers and swimming from the nearby shore, and the hotel shares the bay with its sister properties Hotel Vis and Hotel Uvala. There is no large spa or pool, so activities revolve around the beach and the promenade. Service is friendly and informal, with staff able to advise on boat trips to the Elaphiti Islands, Cavtat and excursions to Montenegro. Rates are in the mid-range, commonly about €70-200 per night, with peak summer at the top. The hotel can be contacted on +385 20 433 633. Families, couples and budget-aware travellers who want sea access and a quiet bay setting, with the walled city still within easy reach, typically choose it. Evening strolls along Masarykov put are a pleasant way to end the day.
