Art Hotel Split-Where Design Meets Dalmatia
Just a short stroll from the ancient stone walls of Diocletian’s Palace in Split, Art Hotel Split offers a refined urban stay infused with Adriatic charm. Founded on the idea of “comfort, confidence and centrality,” the hotel invites you into a world where modern design, local culture and effortless luxury converge.
Arrival & First Impressions
You arrive at Ulica Slobode 41, greeted by a crisp façade and discreet signage that hints at something polished but unpretentious. Inside, the lobby blends contemporary lines with warm stone surfaces—a subtle nod to the city’s layered history. As you check in, the staff welcomes you with a calm professionalism: you’re here to explore Split, and the hotel gives you the space and comfort to do so.
Wandering up to your room, you look out across city rooftops toward the sea beyond. You sense that your base is both “in town” and apart enough to feel restful.
Rooms & Interiors: Comfort with Character
Art Hotel features a range of rooms—from standard doubles to the rooftop junior suite with balcony—giving you options to match your travel style.
The décor leans into thoughtful minimalism: clean lines, light woods, soft materials, and details that reflect the hotel’s modern-comfort ethos. One guest review highlights:
“Very clean, modern and spacious rooms. Staff was very helpful and friendly.”
Some rooms come with balconies for city or partial sea views; others focus on interior calm. Whatever you choose, you get a sense of style without flash.
Rooftop & Wellness: A Pause Above the City
One of the standout features is the rooftop pool and terrace, where you can lounge in sun, swim, or simply take in the view of Split’s skyline and sea. Guests often mention the rooftop as a highlight of their stay.
Downstairs, the hotel offers a wellness centre (sauna, fitness) to complement the city-break pace. With this combination, you can stride out into Split’s old town in the morning, return midday for a dip or sauna, then step back out for evening light.
Dining at Art Hotel Split: Where Design Meets Local Flavor
The Art Restaurant & Lounge Bar
Concept: The hotel’s own restaurant emphasizes quality over quantity. According to the hotel website, they source “only the best ingredients” to blend local Dalmatian fare with a more international, modern style.
Atmosphere: The lounge bar & restaurant is designed to feel like a refined yet relaxed space — modern interiors, warm materials, and thoughtful lighting all give it a sense of sophistication without being overly formal.
Wine & Pairing: A highlight of the dining offering is the wine list: Art Hotel curates local Croatian wines, giving guests a chance to pair regional varietals with carefully composed dishes.
Location: Central & Strategic
The hotel’s location is a strong asset: a ~10-minute walk to Diocletian’s Palace, close to the ferry port, and within reach of beaches and cafés.
You’re walking distance to the heart of Split’s historic centre yet far enough to enjoy a quieter retreat when you return. It’s perfect for travellers who want to explore by foot, catch a sunset by the water, or drift into Split’s local rhythm.
Why This Hotel Stands Out
Design-aware, not design-dominated: The interior supports comfort and aesthetics equally.
Urban & relaxed mix: You get the city access and the calm base both in one.
Strong guest reviews: High marks for rooms, service, comfort, with location rated “excellent”.
Rooftop escape: The roof terrace adds a memorable layer to a city stay.
Art Hotel Split offers a stay where you feel connected to both Split’s history and its modern pulse. It isn’t the largest luxury property, and it doesn’t pretend to be a resort—but it provides a smart, stylish base for seeing the city, returning to calm, and waking each morning ready for the next discovery.
