Our Selection Criteria
Ratings and standards
We prioritised five-star classification and consistently strong guest reviews. Quality was verified across the board — from bed comfort, bathroom standards and housekeeping through to reliable room service and professional concierge provision.
Distinctive advantages
Hotels offering a signature spa with local ingredients, a rooftop bar or sea-view terrace, direct sea access or a private jetty, and top-tier culinary experiences were all rated more highly. Membership of well-regarded hotel networks and considered sustainability initiatives also carried significant weight.
Location and surroundings
We looked for either prime addresses in Hvar's historic old town or secluded coves within easy reach of Stari Grad. Good transfer links from Split, the option of a private boat, and straightforward access to the Pakleni Islands were all central to our selection.
