Hotel in Hvar, Croatia
Hotel Park Hvar
Renovated hotel in pine forest overlooks Hvar bay from peaceful hillside location. Modern rooms with balconies, infinity pool, good restaurant, and 10-minute walk to harbor balance serenity with accessibility to Hvar's action.
Hotel Park Hvar is a renovated mid-range hotel set within a pine forest above Hvar bay on the island of Hvar, Croatia. The property's hillside position in the residential Podstine area, roughly one kilometre west of Hvar Town harbour, gives it a notably quieter and more serene atmosphere than hotels on the main square, while the coastal path into town remains walkable in approximately 15-20 minutes. The hotel offers a well-balanced option in a market that tends toward either luxury or basic budget choices.
The 52 rooms are distributed across the hotel building with balconies facing the sea or the surrounding pine forest. Rooms are contemporary in style, featuring warm neutral tones, locally inspired décor, and quality mattresses. Categories range from standard double rooms to superior sea-view rooms and junior suites with larger terraces overlooking Hvar bay and the Pakleni Islands.
The hotel's defining outdoor feature is an infinity pool set on a terrace with unobstructed views across the bay toward the Pakleni Islands. The pool area includes sun loungers, a poolside bar, and shaded seating. A restaurant on the terrace level serves lunch and dinner, with a menu centred on Dalmatian seafood and regional Croatian dishes. The sea-view terrace is particularly popular for evening meals at sunset. Breakfast is served daily.
Beach access is available via a path through the pine forest that descends to the rocky shoreline below the hotel. Towels and sun loungers are provided at the waterfront. The clear water of this stretch of coastline makes it a good snorkelling spot. A small boat dock allows for water taxi connections to Pakleni Islands beaches during summer.
The setting appeals particularly to guests seeking a calmer alternative to the intensity of Hvar Town's summer scene — close enough to reach the harbour's restaurants and the ferry terminal on foot, but removed from the noise that persists around the main square into the early morning hours. The hotel is suitable for couples and families with older children.
