Hotel Peristil sits on Poljana kraljice Jelene, directly against the Silver Gate of Diocletian's Palace and immediately next to the Peristyle square at the heart of Old Town Split. Few hotels in the city offer a more central footprint — the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, the Peristyle colonnade, and the daily green market at Pazar are all within a minute or two on foot.
The building is a modest, family-run property built into the historic urban fabric adjoining the Palace walls, giving it genuine old-city character without the scale of a large hotel. Its position next to the Silver Gate means guests step directly from the entrance into one of the busiest and most atmospheric corners of the Old Town.
Rooms are offered in Standard, Superior, and Triple configurations, each fitted with air conditioning and a flat-screen satellite TV. The hotel's a la carte restaurant, set on a terrace facing the Peristyle, is a notable draw in its own right, serving Dalmatian cuisine with a view over the ancient square — a setting that attracts diners beyond the hotel's own guests.
There is no spa, pool, or gym, consistent with the compact scale of an Old Town property in this position. The 24-hour reception provides straightforward, personal service suited to travellers who want to be inside the Palace walls and within sight of Split's best-known landmark from their own terrace table.

Tips for visiting
- Reserve a table at the terrace restaurant even if not dining in, as the Peristyle view is one of the best in the Old Town
- Expect street noise given the proximity to the Peristyle, one of the liveliest squares in the city, especially at night
- Book a Triple Room if travelling with a third guest, as it is more cost-effective than two Standard Rooms
- Arrive on foot or by taxi drop-off point, since no vehicles can reach the hotel entrance directly
