Best 5* Star Hotels in Split, Croatia + Notable 4* Choices

Planning a luxurious trip to Split, Croatia and want the best of the best for hotels? Here are my top recommendations for 5 star hotels, as well as a few 4 star hotels that are definitely worth mentioning!

There are just two 5 star hotels in Split I would highly recommend: Hotel Posh (a very small, all suites hotel) and Hotel Park (a bit larger than Posh, but a classic, luxurious hotel).

If you aren’t able to book either of the 5 star options, then I would suggest booking a luxury 4 star hotel, like Palace Judita or Hotel Cardo (both very boutique hotels in the center). Hotel Cornaro (modern hotel, also very central) is also a great choice, along with a few others I’ll outline below.

Read on to discover more about each 4 & 5 star hotel, and what makes them the very best.

Hotel Posh 5*

POSH is the new All suites 5 ***** hotel in Split, a place where superb luxury is permeated with Mediterranean sun and hospitality. From the moment you step into the hotel, you will find yourself in a world of sophisticated luxury and exceptional service.

Staff members are friendly, caring, attentive and always available to help in any way possible. They’ll go above and beyond to make sure you’re comfortable in every way.
