The 308-room Valamar Argosy Hotel is an upscale, chain property located in a complex with other hotels on a hill offering beautiful views of the sea and its islands. The downside of its hilltop location means there's no direct beach access and it's a 15-minute bus ride to the sights of Dubrovnik's Old Town. Rooms are pleasant and serene with pastel painted walls, stocked minibars, and free Wi-Fi, but some of the decor is more functional than stylish. The huge outdoor infinity pool has gorgeous views and a pool bar, and an indoor pool and spa offers additional space for relaxing. There’s a playground for the kids as well as an activity club during the high season. The on-site restaurant serves a buffet breakfast and dinner; beverage packages and half-board options are available. For a waterfront option, travelers could consider the hotel's sister property the Valamar Dubrovnik President Hotel, which sits on a private pebble beach.

A five-minute walk to the Pile Gate, the Apartment & Room Lukre is a two-room, budget property in a convenient location for exploring Dubrovnik's Old Town. The highlight here is the apartment, complete with a big, scenic, furnished terrace, along with a kitchenette and indoor dining area; there's also a smaller, homey room with mini-fridge and electric kettle. Guests appreciate the friendliness of the owners as well as thoughtful touches such as beach towels and pillow chocolates, but there’s no breakfast included and deposits are nonrefundable. Apartment & Room Lukre offers a good rate, free Wi-Fi, and a convenient location, but if rooms are full, guests may want to check out Villa Klaic, a bed-and-breakfast farther from Old Town, but offering free beer and a small outdoor pool.

Perched on cliffs above the Adriatic Sea, Hotel Bellevue Dubrovnik hides its own private cove with a pebble beach complete with a sea cave. The rooms are on the large side with desks and sitting areas, each facing the sea, though not all have a balcony to fully take in the view. The luxury amenities include a great Mediterranean restaurant as well as a more casual eatery on the beach, and a free breakfast. Meeting rooms and a full spa with an indoor pool and fitness center round out the necessities for both tourists and business travelers. The historic Old Town area is a way down the road, but most of its attractions are still within walking distance. Farther north along the coast, the highly rated Royal Princess Hotel is more thoroughly posh, but leaves out the free breakfast.
Missing photos of beachfront restaurant's cave dining room, the meeting rooms, spa, and fitness center (the latter two explained by photographer - separate owner would not allow access).

The 208-room Tirena Hotel is a mid-range chain hotel located in a complex with other Valamar brand hotels. Rooms are plain and no frills, with free Wi-Fi and furnished balconies but few other amenities. The hotel has a big outdoor pool with a swim-up bar and a children’s pool. The hotel provides entertainment on most nights for kids and adults, and the on-site restaurant serves a buffet breakfast and dinner. There’s a beach nearby but the popular sights of Old Town are a 20-minute bus ride away. Couples may want to compare rates with Hotel More, a seaside hotel with a cool bar in a natural cave.

The 19-room Pucic Palace is a luxury boutique set in a superbly restored 18th-century palace in the center of Dubrovnik's stunning Old Town. The building's original Baroque ambience has been meticulously maintained with original antiques and refined historic detailing throughout. Rooms are stately and grand with long drapes and carpets covering wood floors; marble bathrooms are a particular highlight. The lack of spa facilities is a minor gripe, and some rooms are smaller than others, but this is without doubt one of the finest, if not the finest, hotel within the city's ancient walls.

The Berkeley Hotel checks all the boxes within its rating category, and its affordability is another plus. The venue stands out among other three-pearl hotels in the area due to its various leisure and sporting boats (skippers included) that can be rented out and taken on private excursions. Apart from the Gruz Harbor ferry terminal, the location isn't convenient for tourists without cars, though nearby public transportation makes the rest of Dubrovnik easily accessible. The room furnishings and bathrooms have been updated, and the free breakfast spread is better than most.

The 56-room Villa Dubrovnik is a luxury boutique with top-class facilities overlooking the pristine Adriatic Sea. Located away from the main tourist hub, yet still with easy access to Old Town, the hotel's sense of seclusion blends with impeccable service and a romantic setting to create something rather special. Rooms are modern and inviting with big balconies and sea views; bathrooms have nice extras such as under-floor heating. Suites have private hot tubs. There are an indoor pool, spa, and fitness center on-site, along with multiple restaurant and bar options. It's certainly one of the pricier options available in the area, but if the budget can stretch, it's worth every penny.

The 13-room Hotel Kazbek is a boutique property housed in a nicely renovated 16th-century country villa two miles from Dubrovnik's Old Town. Its tranquil and relatively secluded setting is perfect for those seeking a bit of peace and quiet away from the city's touristic heart -- though might feel a bit detached for some. Rooms skillfully blend old-world decor with the latest tech and both pool and restaurant are first-class. High rates reflect the hotel's high-end quality and when you're zipping around their private speedboat chances are it'll feel well spent.

Located on the Lapad Peninsula, within walking distance of the eponymous beach, this seasonal three-pearl hotel was originally built as a private residence, and its exterior retains the appearance of a vintage villa. Inside, the style is more contemporary but less appealing: the lobby, for instance, looks rather institutional and the 24 guest rooms -- all outfitted with air-conditioning, digital safes, and flat-screen TVs -- are pleasant but uninspired. Since a buffet breakfast, parking, and property-wide Wi-Fi are all included in the rate, the Zagreb offers a good value. It is, however, short on features. Aside from lovely landscaped grounds and the popular restaurant/bar area that overlooks them, there’s little on-site… not even an elevator. Travelers looking for extras such as a pool, a full-service spa, or business facilities should consider upgrading to Hotel More.

A 2014 renovation of the 292-room Valamar Dubrovnik President Hotel has taken this high-end, holiday resort to the next level. With smart and tastefully contemporary interiors throughout and quality facilities, the property easily deserves its luxury-level rating with large pools (both outdoor and indoor) and an excellent spa as particular highlights. Sea-view sunsets can be enjoyed from every stylish, relaxed room, even from the comfort of sunbeds on spacious balconies. It might feel a little isolated, but Dubrovnik's renowned Old Town is still easily accessible by car. Rates are surprisingly low for this caliber and half-board options can provide even better value.
