Grandeur on the Rocks of Dubrovnik
Perched on the cliffside just a gentle five-minute stroll from the medieval stone walls of UNESCO-protected Dubrovnik Old Town, Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik is an iconic five-star sanctuary celebrating over a century of timeless Mediterranean glamour. Originally unveiled in July 1913 as the aristocratic Villa Odak, the hotel has captivated kings, queens, presidents, and legendary film icons—including Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and Sir Roger Moore.
The property unites two distinct architectural worlds: the historic 1913 Villa Odak with its noble stone arches, high ceilings, and aristocratic grace, and the sleek contemporary Tower wing designed with minimalist lines, rich dark woods, and floor-to-ceiling glass that maximizes cinematic views of the turquoise Adriatic and the fortified citadel of Dubrovnik. Guests step directly from the sun-warmed seaside rock platform into the crystal sea, savor Michelin-caliber cuisine across four sea-facing dining venues, and retreat to the restorative haven of the Energy Clinic Spa.
