Palace Elisabeth Hvar is the grande dame of Croatia's sunniest island, the first hotel ever built in Hvar, opened in 1899 and beautifully restored on the main square of Hvar Town, its arches and loggias facing the yacht-filled harbour and the Pakleni islands beyond. It is a piece of living history in one of the Adriatic's most glamorous ports.

The dining crowns the town. Restaurant San Marco sits atop the famous Renaissance town hall with uninterrupted sea views, serving innovative Mediterranean cuisine under chef Josip Jukić; and the harbour-view Bar and a stylish Cigar Lounge complete the offering.

For a historic, glamorous Hvar stay, Palace Elisabeth is a benchmark.
