There are aspects and touches about the Adriana that, at times, make the hotel feel like a five star hotel.

It has a fantastic location right in the centre of town, close to shops, bars, water taxis and sightseeing of historic monuments, on the waterfront just a few minutes walk from the main square. This is an elegant, boutique style hotel that was completely renovated in 2007.

Due to the horseshoe shape of the waterfront here, in July and August, noise from nearby bars can carry to the (double glazed) sea facing rooms at the front of the hotel though interestingly, music from the hotel’s own Top Bar has little similar effect. The hotel has a modern, vibrant feel, a great choice for couples.

ROOMS

59 stylish, air-conditioned rooms and suites with walk-in power shower and locally produced, lavender based toiletries, mini-bar, satellite TV, hairdryer, robes and slippers and free Wi-fi. Sea facing rooms are double glazed. Bathrooms are in semi-open plan style and have a glazed door to the main room.

LIVING

The Val Marina restaurant has a pretty terrace (with Happy Hour and the occasional pianist or guitarist) serves a set menu for half board guests with Mediterranean specialities on the à la carte option. The Top Bar has a dramatic 19 metre long turquoise mosaic style glass bar and lounge on the rooftop and is one of Hvar’s celebrated night spots with deep, luxurious sofas, candles, dancing and a chilled vibe. Views out to Galesnik island and beyond, the bay and the town from terraces.

The indoor swimming pool has heated seawater and is huge for a hotel of this size. There’s a surrounding terrace, relaxation area with sunbeds and outdoor massage cabanas.

The beautiful Sensori Spa offers a wide range of treatments including hydrotherapy, a movement studio, small gym and seven types of massage plus Yoga and Pilates.

Transfer time from Split airport – approx. two hours 50 minutes including ferry/ catamaran crossing.
