Hotel Adriana

Overlooking the quaint fishing harbour and Hvar's Old Town, this fashionable hotel is perfectly placed to explore the buzzy island, and a relaxing retreat after sun-filled days of exploring, with the rooftop terrace offering breath-taking bay, hill and city views away from the crowds. The 59 rooms are stylish and contemporary, and alongside the minimal interiors of the communal spaces provide a harmonious contrast to the 1970s style of the building. Hotel Adriana's impressive spa is not to be missed. It spans three floors, complete with sauna, gym, outdoor/indoor seawater pool on the roof, and offers treatments using local oils and herbs in curtained cabanas. There's also a private beach club in summer months on Amfora's  eastern shores.
