Hotel Adria Dubrovnik

Overlooking Gruž Harbor with sweeping Adriatic views.

Perched above the Gruž harbor, Hotel Adria Dubrovnik delivers one of the city’s most enviable vantage points. Built in 2011, the property combines modern design with panoramic windows that frame the Elafiti Islands and Lapad Bay. The interior leans sleek and functional, with glass, stone, and neutral tones creating a contemporary feel throughout its 116 rooms and common spaces.

Rooms are air-conditioned, Wi-Fi connected, and fitted with essentials like flat-screen satellite TVs and minibars. Many open onto balconies, giving guests a private slice of the Adriatic view. Bathrooms feature walk-in showers or tubs, with well-lit vanities and hotel-standard amenities.

Downstairs, the restaurant extends onto a terrace, where breakfasts and evening meals are accompanied by the working rhythm of ships gliding in and out of Gruž port. The lobby bar has a quieter pace, perfect for an espresso before catching the shuttle into town.

Facilities include an outdoor infinity pool that appears to spill into the sea, an indoor pool for year-round dips, and a wellness zone with massage, sauna, and gym equipment. Free parking — a rarity in Dubrovnik — sits just steps from reception, and the hotel is well-served by public buses that reach the Old Town in under 15 minutes.

With its elevated position, Hotel Adria Dubrovnik appeals to travelers who prefer calm evenings above the bustle, yet still want the Old Town’s history and Lapad’s beaches within easy reach.
