Hilton Imperial Dubrovnik

Occupying a grand, fin-de-siècle building near the Pile Gate, the Hilton has location without the beachside grace of other five-star venues in town. With its gym and indoor pool open 24 hours, this is a place for execs to convene. Bedrooms are comfortable but unmemorable, many standard ones without sea views. The Porat restaurant is worth a visit in its own right.
