Description
Hilton's first hotel in Croatia isn't within
the walls of the Old Town, but with a location just steps outside
the Pile Gate, it's as good as it gets. The 1897 Imperial (and its
guesthouse across the street), which sheltered refugees from
Croatia's civil war and took a direct mortar hit on the upper
floors, has emerged as the undisputed jewel of the Dubrovnik hotel
market. The hotel's new redbrick-and-white stone facade and
Habsburg yellow filigree balcony railings are Hilton's face to the
world, but the hotel personnel are its link to guests. Unlike many
Dubrovnik hotel workers, Hilton staff members are a class act and
extend the same courtesies to Brioni-suited businesspeople and
backpackers alike, an anomaly in Croatia's resident-tourist
relationship. While Hilton was changing worker attitudes, it kept
whatever it could of the old Imperial--its stone staircases, the
lobby footprint--but everything else is brand-new. Rooms are
spacious and done in the similar earth/sun color schemes. All are
loaded with amenities, whether you stay in a single room or a
suite. It's easy to get comfy in your room with room service from
the hotel's restaurant or in the huge lobby bar where you can read
a newspaper or get a snack with your coffee frappe. And you have to
see the air-conditioned garage and its stainless steel "car mover"
to believe it.
