Right in the centre of Split, on the Riva promenade, you'll find this navy-style hotel where as soon as you come in, you wish to sit at the bar with a glass of whiskey and talk about your adventures on the open sea. Ideal location to explore all the attractions in Split.
Probably one of the more charming hotels in Split, because today you'll probably find white, artificial materials instead of lacquered wood and brass. It makes you sit there and wonder what the life in Split was like before all the tourism thing, when steamboats delivered coffee and lumber from overseas.
Hotel is relatively new, with restaurants and bars on the ground floor. Rooms are fully equipped and some feature a sea view, while others have city-view.
This hotel is pet-friendly and there are no extra charges for your pet.
