Palace Elisabeth Hvar Hotel - The Leading Hotels of the World

Near Hvar's Trg Svetog Stjepana — the largest medieval square on the Dalmatian coast — Palace Elisabeth occupies a 19th-century building whose stone façade faces the cathedral steps and the harbor where ferries to Split and Korčula dock, a five-star base for travelers wanting the old town's stone lanes and waterfront restaurants at the doorstep rather than a taxi ride away.

A spa with sauna, steam room, and indoor pool sits below street level, built into the original cellar vaulting. Rooms carry marble floors and soundproofing against the square's evening cafe crowds.

Bike rental and boat tours are arranged through the concierge for reaching Pakleni Islands beaches nearby.
