Samstag Split

Carved into a 19th-century townhouse on Petrinjska ulica, Samstag Split sits three blocks from Diocletian's Palace peristyle, close enough for the morning Riva walk without the price premium of the old-town core — a fit for couples and independent travelers who want quiet nights and a short stroll to the Roman walls.

Rooms keep original ceiling heights and stone window sills, updated with modern bathrooms rather than period fittings. The four-star property runs a small breakfast room rather than a full buffet.

Split's ferry terminal for island hopping to Hvar and Brač lies a ten-minute walk down toward the harbor.
