Hotel Royal Ariston

Perched on Dubrovnik’s Lapad peninsula, this family-friendly beach hotel sits steps from Poluotok Lapad and an 11-minute walk to Copacabana Beach. Minutes from Gruz Ferry Port and a short drive to the UNESCO-listed Old Town, it’s a seaside base for sightseeing and coastal walks.

Rising above the Adriatic Sea with expansive sea views, Hotel Royal Ariston offers 115 newly renovated rooms that blend elegant comfort with simple, modern touches. Rooms feature minibars, LCD TVs with satellite, bathtubs and complimentary toiletries, plus safes and work desks. Expect calming wellness vibes and the sound of waves as your wake-up call.

Relax in a full-service spa and wellness zone with an indoor pool, or soak in any of the three outdoor pools, two hot tubs and a sauna. Sip at the poolside and beach bars or unwind in one of the hotel’s two bars/lounges. Concierge services, babysitting (surcharge), a fitness center, seasonal outdoor pool access and on-site parking add practical convenience while you wake up to sea-breeze mornings.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet throughout the property, a business center and extensive event space — roughly 12,249 sq ft (1,138 m²) of conference and meeting rooms — make this a solid pick for meetings and corporate stays. Roundtrip airport and cruise terminal shuttles are available for a surcharge.

Three on-site restaurants, including Mediterraneo, offer outdoor dining options with sea views. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served each morning from 6:30–10:30, while limited room service, poolside and beach bars keep drinks and light bites close at hand.
