Hotel Stari Grad

Hotel Stari Grad is a small boutique hotel at Od Sigurate 4, in the heart of the Old Town of Dubrovnik, Croatia, just off the Stradun, the main limestone-paved street of the walled city. The location places the Pile Gate, the Rector's Palace, the cathedral and the harbour within a few minutes on foot, and the hotel is reachable only on foot, since the Old Town is closed to vehicles. It occupies a historic stone house with about 8-11 rooms, so stays feel personal and quiet despite the central position. The interiors combine old stone walls with comfortable modern furnishings, and rooms are offered as Deluxe Double Rooms and Double Rooms, with air conditioning and wifi. The signature feature is the rooftop restaurant, which overlooks the red-tiled roofs of the Old Town and the Adriatic beyond, and is a popular spot for dinner at sunset and for breakfast, which is also served to guests. There is no spa, pool or fitness centre, as the appeal lies in the setting, the views and the intimacy of the property. Service is boutique in style, with a small team able to advise on walls tickets, boat trips, restaurants and luggage handling. Rates are in the upper-middle bracket, commonly about €110-350 per night, with July and August at the top of the range. The hotel carries a guest rating of about 4.6. The building has no lift, so guests with heavy luggage should expect to carry bags up stairs, and the surrounding lanes include steps. Travellers who want to stay inside the walls, wake to the sounds of the Old Town and walk everywhere, tend to value this hotel. Phone enquiries can be made on +385 20 322 244. Evenings are lively in the lanes nearby, so light sleepers may want to ask for a room away from the street.
