HOTELS

 

 

With stunning views of the Old Town and the Adriatic Sea, the iconic Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik has been opened through the entire pandemic providing the accommodation to the health care stuff and it will remain open for the season. Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik is only 50 meters from the historic entrance at Pile Gate. As it has always been, the safety and security of their guests and team members remained their highest priority. Check-in is adjusted and physical contact with the guests has been reduced introducing a new standard of hotel cleanliness and disinfection by HiltonCleanStay program. They measure body temperature to all employees as a measure of prevention when arriving at work. If staying at their hotel, it is not necessary to use public city transportation for sightseeing or for going to the beach, which is currently a priority.

6 kilometres south of Dubrovnik, along with Dubrovnik Riviera Sheraton hotel, is situated in the vicinity of sandy beach shopping mall and numerous bars and restaurants. It’s the perfect location if you want to enjoy the sun and sea opening its doors July 1st. It’s the place for hiking and tracking or just walking around exploring nearby fishermen villages and some abandoned locations. As Sheraton hotel is huge it’s easy to keep a social distance. Given the current situation, it is likely that they will have a custom rather than a standard breakfast buffet. They will adapt their usual workstations where meals are displayed and the breakfast buffet is set up by directing guests to ‘show cooking’ stations instead of workstations.

Keep up to date, as they will present special offers that will, for example, include a free transfer, massage or discount in their restaurants and bars when booking accommodation.
