Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik
Walled City of Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik’ s terracotta rooftops, medieval walls, grand buildings and deep blue sea team up to form a striking, cinematic scene. Known as the“ Pearl of the Adriatic,” the city’ s main thoroughfare, the Stradun, is paved with limestone smoothed by the footsteps of thousands of travelers. Follow your curiosity into narrow lanes scented with lavender from artisan shops. From the top of Mount Srd, reached by cable car, marvel at the sweeping sunset vistas of nearby islands and turn from the sea to view neighboring country Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Time a visit to attend the Summer Festival from mid-July to August and see performances of theater, classical music, opera and dance. Or go off-season to the UNESCO-listed festival commemorating the Feast of St. Blaise held annually on February 3. The beloved patron saint of Dubrovnik is celebrated with blessings, processions and costumed folk dances.
With magical vistas of the walled city across the bay and private swimming access, the Excelsior is a peaceful coastal resort, only five minutes’ walk to the Ploce Gate entrance to the Old Town. Dine out on the cobblestoned terrace at the oceanfront restaurant, Prora. Tableside service of the day’ s grilled catch complemented by a bottle of crisp, white Bogdanuša(“ given by God”) wine as the sun dips into the sea makes for a memorable meal.
