Hotel Luxe is a labour of love for its owners, Mr and Mrs Parčina. It stands on the site of a factory that burned down in the early 1980s, and Mrs Parčina hand-picked the furnishings for a fresh, sleek look that sets it apart from Split’s traditional hotels.

Setting and arrival
Check-in was efficient and quick. The hotel is in the middle of the city, close to Diocletian’s Palace, the bell tower of St Domnius and the Grgur Ninski monument, and it can arrange private tours.
The rooms
Bold colours and amazing sea views define the rooms. Mine had a queen bed, a lounge area facing the balcony and a desk with minibar. Suites and Superior Rooms have Wi-Fi, a safe, LED TV and beds that convert between twin and queen. Glossy blue and purple tiles continue into the bathroom, where large mirrors make the space feel generous.
The verdict
Trendy design, sea views, friendly staff and a central location make Hotel Luxe one of Split’s most stylish boutique stays.
