Royal Blue Hotel

Royal Blue Hotel is a five-star spa hotel inside the Importanne Resort at Kardinala Stepinca 31, on the Babin Kuk-Lapad peninsula of Dubrovnik, Croatia. The peninsula lies a few kilometres northwest of the Old Town and is a wooded, resort-style district of pebble coves, promenades and hotels, linked to the walled city by frequent city buses and by taxi. The hotel belongs to the Importanne complex, which shares grounds and facilities across several properties, so guests are surrounded by pine trees and sea outlooks rather than the dense stone streets of the historic centre. The atmosphere is calm and wellness-oriented, aimed at couples and travellers who want a refined base away from the summer crowds. Rooms are offered as Standard Rooms and Suites, with air conditioning and wifi throughout. The main attractions are the spa centre, the indoor pool and the sauna, which allow the hotel to work as a year-round retreat as well as a summer one. Treatments and massages are available at the spa, and the indoor pool remains usable when the weather turns. Dining is typically handled through the Importanne Resort restaurants and the hotel's own breakfast service, with additional restaurants and cafes along the nearby Lapad promenade. Service is polished and discreet, with the emphasis on quiet and privacy rather than a children-focused programme. Prices sit in the upper bracket, commonly about €250-600 per night, rising in July and August. The hotel holds a guest rating of about 4.6. Visitors who want a luxury spa stay with beach and sea access on the Lapad coast, and who are happy to take a bus or taxi into the Old Town for sightseeing, usually find it well suited. Walking along the coast toward Lapad Bay takes in several beaches and cafes.
