The Top 16 Hotels Near Sun Gardens Dubrovnik
-
Cave Bar More, a cocktail bar carved into a series of underground rock chambers that open onto the waterfront, gives this adults-only hillside hotel its personality. The 77 rooms and suites on Lapad peninsula sit a couple of miles from the Old Town, most with balconies over the bay. Two sea-view terrace restaurants lean into local catch and the broader eastern Adriatic pantry, and a bathing deck below the building offers direct sea access.
-
The rooftop Zenith Bar may be the most persuasive argument for booking a room here rather than commuting from the old town for sunset. Hotel Kompas sits on Lapad Bay, a couple of miles west of the walls, with a thoroughly renovated interior that plays its mid-century modernist bones into something genuinely crisp: whites, creams, balconies on every room, and heated bathroom floors keeping things comfortable.
-
The cliff-face location above Miramare Bay means every one of the ninety-one rooms faces the water, a promise the name Bellevue makes and the glassy façade keeps. It's a mid-sized hotel, relaxed rather than fortress-like, with a canvas-and-dark-wood palette that stops just short of nautical kitsch. Two restaurants, one tucked into a cave in the cliff, and the old city a pleasant walk away round things out nicely.
-
A former cistern now serves as a vaulted sitting room, which tells you most of what you need to know about this small hotel just outside Dubrovnik's Old Town. The stone buildings have been around forever, and the warm golden facades still carry the work of the original mason. Rooms spread across the main house and several stone outbuildings, Restaurant Natali pulls from local farms and the Adriatic, and the team can arrange a boat for the islands.
-
A baroque nobleman's mansion on Gundulic Square, converted into a 19-room boutique hotel inside Dubrovnik's old town walls. Each room is named for a local writer or artist, traditionally styled but with freestanding tubs and Bulgari in the bathrooms. There's a café spilling onto the square, a Mediterranean restaurant, and a leather-clad wine bar pouring Croatian bottles. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels.
-
A four-room boutique hotel tucked inside an old townhouse in the Adriatic's most dramatically walled city, The Byron wears its age under a clean white-on-white refresh, with Molton Brown in the bathrooms and kitchenettes in most rooms for when you'd rather stay in. No restaurant, but Dubrovnik is hardly short of options, and the concierge knows where to send you.
-
A three-room boutique tucked inside a 15th-century stone house, right against Dubrovnik's old city wall with St. John's Fort as a neighbor. The family who owns it also runs it, which makes the whole operation feel less like a hotel and more like borrowing a well-appointed friend's apartment, complete with underfloor heating and SMEG kitchenettes. No breakfast service, but the owners know Old Town cold and will point you everywhere worth going.
-
A former royal villa on the Adriatic waterfront, just outside Dubrovnik's old town, the Excelsior is the kind of hotel that has hosted Queen Elizabeth II and Elizabeth Taylor and seems unsurprised by the whole thing. Rooms across both buildings run contemporary, with spa-like bathrooms stocked with L'Occitane. Three restaurants, an indoor pool, and a rocky-beach perch give guests every reason to stay put once they've arrived.
-
A century-old waterfront villa on Cavtat's promenade, a short ferry hop from Dubrovnik, this boutique hotel holds a Michelin Key. Open-air decks shaded by white umbrellas overlook the Adriatic, citrus trees frame the pool, and a wine bar pours local varietals. Attic rooms have sloped ceilings and romantic writing desks; others go marble bathrooms and patterned wallpaper. No cars in the historic center, but the hotel runs buggy rides and the Dubrovnik ferry stops across the street.
-
A 1732 Venetian lazaret turned luxury hotel on the Bay of Kotor, with enough original stonework to make a new build weep with envy. Weathered walls sit alongside contemporary art and bold accent colors, and the suites run generously large. Two restaurants, a gastro bar in the marina building, and a spa with hammam, jacuzzi, and pools round things out. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels.
-
-
A boutique hotel on a tucked-away beach inside the Bay of Kotor, with just twenty rooms and suites, all with balconies facing the Adriatic. The building mixes contemporary comfort with old stone walls that feel less like decor and more like something the place earned. The Bocasa Restaurant runs the beach club with fresh seafood and those views. The spa has an indoor pool and all the cold-water punishments you could want. It holds a Michelin Key.
-
Rooms here come standard with a yoga mat, resistance bands, and a pillow menu, which tells you exactly what kind of hotel this is. SIRO is a fitness-and-wellness resort on Boka Bay, Porto Montenegro, where the real draw is the Recovery Lab, a serious setup with a 25-metre outdoor pool, compression and red-light therapies, and IV drips for guests who find a standard spa insufficiently medicalized. The restaurant runs on a nutritionist-approved logic. One Michelin Key.
-
A former Yugoslav Navy shipyard turned superyacht marina is an unlikely backdrop for a luxury hotel, but here we are in Tivat, and the cognitive dissonance is kind of the point. Regent Porto Montenegro holds a Michelin Key and sits inside a sprawling nautical village complex, with rooms done in Venetian stripes and nautical blue by Tino Zervudachi. Balconies look out over the bay, the infinity pool is waiting, and the Bay of Kotor does the rest.
-
Stone walls, antique furnishings, and ten rooms in an old sea captain's mansion on the Dobrota waterfront: this intimate boutique hotel wears its 18th-century bones lightly. Breakfast goes out to the garden, there's a pool, and a private platform drops you straight into the Bay of Kotor. It's the kind of place that makes a big resort feel like a lot of unnecessary effort.
-
Eight suites in a Baroque-inflected Adriatic villa, with gilt mirrors, chandeliers, and balconies close enough to the water that the waves fill in for a sound machine. The property doubles as a working winery focused on the bold reds of the Pelješac Peninsula, so the tasting room is essentially just outside. A house yacht handles coast cruising when the view from the balcony stops being enough. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
