Accommodation in Split | Junior Suite

Allow us to introduce you to the peaceful oasis in the bustling heart of Split. Just steps away from Diocletian’s Palace, the heart of the city, which due to its magical beauty has been a part of the UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 1979. The hotel’s great location allows you to instantly switch from cozy, serene hotel atmosphere to the seductive Mediterranean vibrancy of Split. The hotel offers authentic experience and introduce you to the Mediterranean state of mind.

A century-old building that is truly a pearl of Art Nouveau. Completed in the midst of World War I, it is a masterpiece by architect Petar Senjanović, who brought a touch of recognizable Viennese Art Nouveau to Split.

Originally, the building was intended for the needs of the cooperative union. Since 1974 it has been the seat of the University of Split. Archaeological artifacts, found during construction, testify to the existence of organized urban life in Split even before the Diocletian’s Palace was built. Discovery of a bath or fountain gives us a sense that spa or market place was located at this very spot. What a wonderful starting point to explore the fascinating history of the most beautiful city in the world and its rich surroundings!

Situated in an over 100yrs old Art Nouveau beauty, each of our 31 superbly appointed rooms and 4 suites are true representatives of a bygone era that our architectural and designer team has revived by bringing in a touch of modern, as well as paying careful attention to every detail and needs of contemporary travelers.

Plenitude of natural light that comes in through large windows, views of the charming old town and comfortable beds are just a few things that will enchant your senses while staying with us. Units with a balcony or terrace further enhance the Mediterranean atmosphere.

Selected room: Junior Suite (Breakfast included)
