✨ BACK TO DUBROVNIK… AND STILL JUST AS MAGICAL ✨🇭🇷
It’s always a risk returning somewhere for a second time… will it still have the same wow factor? Will the memories be as fond this time around? 💭
After revisiting Dubrovnik, Rebbeca can officially confirm — it really is every bit as incredible as the first time 💙
With its terracotta-roofed villages, ancient fortress city, crystal clear water and locals who will treat you like an old friend, Dubrovnik is a fairy-tale hotspot ✨
Rebbeca stayed at the Hotel Excelsior, a waterside jewel with a dazzling heritage and views of Dubrovnik old town 🌊🏰
When past guests have included kings, queens and Hollywood royalty, you know a hotel is going to be special. Architecturally speaking, this hotel has something of a split personality: there’s the handsome historic section, Villa Odak, which dates back to 1913, and the modern but equally majestic Tower. After a captivating renovation, this boutique hotel remains one of the most enviable addresses in Dubrovnik.
💙 Rebbeca’s favourite room?
I love the Superior Rooms set in the historic Villa Odak, especially number 208, which has high ceilings, a ravishing terrace, an antique carpet and a bath tub with an overhead shower. This room is dangerously romantic (you might put a ring on it, if you haven’t already) 💍✨
👠 Packing tips:
Bring fashionable comfy shoes, diamonds and an appetite for seafood 🦞✨
🍸 What not to miss:
Start with what’s just beyond your bedroom: splash in the sea and top up your tan on Excelsior’s rocky beach. Toast the sunset with ice-cold drinks at the bar; you might get to watch a band play or a DJ work the decks.
🍽 Restaurants:
Fall hook, line and sinker for Excelsior’s three brilliant restaurants. Salin Restaurant serves breakfast on a dreamy terrace; we also love elegant Sensus, where you can spy on the chefs in the open kitchen, or nab tables on the terrace and soak up the cityscapes. There’s also a beachside restaurant called Prora, which comes with knee-weakening views.
