Originally built in 1913 and fully renovated in 2008, the Excelsior Hotel & Spa in Dubrovnik, Croatia has opened its doors to distinguished guests throughout its history, from European aristocrats to Hollywood royalty.
This palatial seaside resort features over 150 well-appointed rooms (most with water views) while its two Presidential Suites are indeed fit for a king. For an even more exclusive experience, two separate Villas, including the art-filled Villa Agave, offer additional space and privacy.
Dubrovnik, a former Venetian colony, is steeped in European history, with the Excelsior located just five minutes away the magnificently restored Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Meanwhile, the Hotel offers all the modern comfort and amenities you'd expect to find at a world-class resort: there are four restaurants to choose from, including a piano bar, and between the spa, pool, sauna, massage room, and Turkish bath, relaxation is virtually guaranteed.
