The house
RadissonGlass-fronted seaside resort
It runs as an easygoing coastal resort, trading Split's stone alleys for open horizons and breezy waterfront decks.
What it’s good at
Notable
A twenty-metre indoor pool and cold plunge hydrotherapy overlooking the Adriatic Sea.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Trstenik's pebble beach sits right below. Diocletian's Palace and the historic core of Split are a ten-minute drive west.

The rooms
Sea-facing rooms have private balconies that look straight out across the channel toward the island of Brač.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Palm trees shade the outdoor pool deck at sunset, and indoor whirlpool tubs sit behind glass facing the sea.
The spa and gym
Private treatment suites feature freestanding soaking tubs, while the spa adds Finnish saunas and a dedicated yoga studio.
Restaurant
The Fig Leaf
The morning buffet serves local Dalmatian dishes from live cooking stations, with seating spread across an open sea-facing terrace.
At the table
Grilled Adriatic seafood is served along the open terraces, and The Door Bar pours Croatian wines and evening cocktails.
How it began

It stands on the site of the former Hotel Split, a local seaside fixture that operated for nearly fifty years.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
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.
