Picolo recommends · Hotel in Split, Croatia
Hotel Park Split
Breakfast on a wide terrace under the palms, then a few minutes' walk down to the best-known town beach in Split.
The terrace is the heart of the place: tables set out under tall palms, coffee arriving, the morning still cool. Hotel Park has been part of Split for a long time, and it keeps a traditional style that feels unhurried.
Bačvice, the sandy town beach where locals play picigin, a splash-heavy ball game in the shallows, is just below. Walk the other way and you are inside Diocletian's Palace in around ten minutes.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Hotel Park Split
We like Hotel Park for travellers who want beach and history on foot, without a resort feel. The classic rooms and the terrace suit couples and older travellers who prefer calm surroundings and a hotel with some history.
Bačvice gets crowded on summer days and turns into a nightlife strip after dark, and some rooms can pick up the music. Anyone looking for sleek, modern design will find the style old-fashioned.
