Luxury hotel set in a historic building
Many of the hotels on Hvar’s sea-view main square have preserved the old-world opulence of yesteryear in their interiors – not this one. The façade of Palace Elisabeth might look traditional, but head inside and you’ll be greeted by super sleek contemporary interiors. The hotel is very well-placed for sightseeing, too – the St Stephen’s Cathedral and the Hvar Public Theatre are just around the corner, and the lively square is lined by bars, cafés and restaurants. Plus, it’s just a five-minute walk from the port, where you can hop on a catamaran to Split or the islands of Korčula and Vis.
Fancy a chilled day at the hotel? Look no further than its indoor pool, which has floor-to-ceiling windows and opens out to an alfresco sun terrace lined with loungers. For even more relaxation, head to the spa, which is kitted out with a sauna and a steam room, and offers a treatment menu of pampering massages and beauty services. If that sounds too slow paced, try out the state-of-the-art gym.
The hotel’s highly rated San Marco Restaurant and café offers an à la carte menu of Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Think fresh fish and seafood and a great wine list, as well as popular breakfast dishes that would fit in at a trendy London brunch spot. The restaurant overlooks the town square and the marina, so you can dine with a view. Elsewhere, you’ve got a bar, which makes the perfect spot for drinks before dinner. Take your drink out onto one of the open-air terraces and sink into one of the sofas or armchairs.
Your journey to the hotel will include a transfer from Split Airport to Split Port, where you'll wait for the next available ferry to take to Hvar Island. Just so you know, you'll need to carry your own luggage on and off the ferry, which will include a flight of steps. The crossing takes approximately 120 mins. From the port on Hvar Island, you'll take a transfer to your chosen accomodation. The same applies for your return journey. Please note, the total transfer time of approximately 3.5 hours does not include your wait time for the ferry.
