The old wing of the building, dating from the 1920s, is rather noble, with a stone façade and a series of archways giving onto peaceful gardens. and down to a pool deck at the water’s edge. The new wing was added in the 1960s. Furnishing throughout is palatial, with plush carpets and brocade fabrics, softened by the fantastic sea views.

This was Dubrovnik's first purpose-built hotel when it opened in 1897, and throughout its long history has hosted many leading dignitaries; for instance, Edward VIII andWallis Simpson stayed here in 1936. It has been carefully preserved and the original 19th-century architectural features such as the sweeping stone staircase and stone columns have been retained, but the plush, old-fashioned furnishings and interior colour schemes of the hotel's past have given way to a contemporary aesthetic, with shades of white, grey and blue, and antique-look mirrors to accentuate natural light and spaciousness.
