Vibrant harbor boutique
Vibrant harbor boutique
This harbor boutique brings sharp modern flair to Split, keeping things intimate and lively just above the docks.
What it’s good at
Notable
Bold purple satin, metallic accents, and ceilings studded with fiber-optic starry lights.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The bold design is especially noteworthy considering the simple building the hotel is located inside — an old waterfront factory.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Diocletian's Palace is a five-minute walk away, and the ferry port sits just around the corner.
The rooms
South-facing rooms feature white surfaces, striped lilac carpets, and floor-to-ceiling windows taking in the harbor light.
The sauna and whirlpool
A Finnish sauna and an illuminated mosaic whirlpool sit downstairs beside a private massage room.
At the table
The dining room lays out a morning continental buffet with local cheeses, charcuterie, and fresh fruit.
How it began
A 1920s steam dyeing factory once stood here, left abandoned for decades after a fire destroyed the building.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
