Today’s Split is the product of 17 centuries of building, renovating and remodelling, so that the new of today meshes with the old of yesterday. At the core of this sprawling cityscape is the palace that Emperor Diocletian built for his golden years at the turn of the 4th century. What began as an imperial residence and fortified camp is today an intriguing warren of narrow cobblestone streets, where pre-Romanesque churches live alongside Gothic chapels, histroy-filled museums abut galleries of contemporary art and delicious-smelling restaurants compete with bustling cafes for the attention of passers-by.

The recently renovated hotel is completely air-conditioned and enriched with new amenities, offers 54 luxurious equipped rooms and 3 suites, a first class restaurant, conference facilities, a wellness centre and a large terrace with palm trees and real Mediterranean atmosphere. All this together with traditional hospitality and professionalism of the staff Hotel Park will become the hotel of your trust for sure.

The rooms are richly furnished, enhanced with modern technology, equipped with Internet, TV, mini bar, safe, direct telephone line and completely air-conditioned. The hotel is located in the elite part of town, next to the famous beach Bačvice (blue flag award), 10 minutes walking to the centre (Diocletian’s Palace) and 5 walking to the ferry, bus, and railway terminals.

The old town of Split is built on and around the spectacular Roman Palace erected by the Roman Emperor Diocletian (born in Salona – today’s Solin) in the 4 th century. The walking tour starts with a visit to the cellars of the Palace that are still very well preserved. The cellars offer a good view at how the life in the Palace was organized.
