If you want to live like the emperor Diocletian once, in the palace itself, it is the ideal place. The seven rooms have clean forms, a modern decoration with natural colours and noble materials. The only drawback is: the constant noise of tourists visiting the palace. So what do we do to restore peace? Close the window and make the air conditioning work!

This is the best located hotel in Split- it is literally a 10 second walk to the Diocletian’s palace, but that’s it main pro. The rooms are very small, basic, and old fashioned. Definitely should not be a member of SLH as there really is nothing luxury about it! You are just paying for the location.

We stayed in the annex. The receptionist was quite clueless about Split, it felt like we didn't get the best service staying in the annex. It was quite pricy during peak season and we didn't feel like it was a good return on it as room and food were very average.

This was simply an amazing luxury boutique hotel. It is located in the heart of Diocletian's Palace and is centrally located to all the major attractions within the old town.
It can be difficult to locate (no thanks to Google Maps) if it is your first time in Split. The Diocletian's Palace precinct or the old part of Split is not accessible by vehicles so you will need to walk to the hotel. In hindsight we probably should have contacted the hotel before we arrived and had someone assist with our luggage. They did help us with our luggage when we left.
The hotel is located immediately adjacent to the ancient roman vestibule, a circular stone hall, and opposite the Ethnographic Museum. The internal lobby is light and airy with a glass roof - the area also doubles as the hotel's dining area. In there is an outdoor dining area on a cobbled courtyard at the hotel entrance.
Each of the eleven rooms are unique as they have had to fit them within the heritage listed Roman and Medieval walls of the buildings. I just loved the historic character of the hotel and how they had managed to fit it out with modern furnishings without compromising the building's heritage. We were lucky in that we had a standard double room on the lower floor so wasn't much of a staircase to climb but I would probably splurge next time and get the junior suite. The bed was very comfortable, and the room was well laid out. We even overlooked the vestibule and could listen to the singers performing there.
The staff were extremely helpful, providing us with great recommendations on where to eat, a pre-packed breakfast for when we were heading off on an early morning boat cruise, assisting us with dealing with a parking infringement we incurred earlier in our travels. The service the hotel provided was outstanding.

Great quaint place in the middle of the palace. Everything is probably a 3-5min walk or less to really get to. Great location to go around and learn about the history of the palace.
The best at Split and around

Our stay was broken up into multiple part as we spent a night visiting Plitvice Lakes and the staff was most accommodating to our needs— they prepared us a large breakfast to take on our travels and stored our larger luggage while we were away. They staff communicated with me via WhatsApp and made sure someone was Available to greet us upon our return, even though it was late in the evening.
Breakfast at the main hotel was superb and the was a beautiful walk to start our day.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Split— the hospitality they showed us from quickly responding to emails during our trip planning all the way through our stay has been outstanding!
