1. Heritage Hotel Park

Right above Hvar town’s harbor, we recommend staying at the Heritage Hotel Park, a stunning, comfortable hotel.

Its premium location, with views of the harbor, gives you easy access to the marina, restaurants, bars, activities, and everything else you might need during your stay in Hvar.

2. Villa Nora

One of our favorite hotels in Hvar town is Villa Nora, a small hotel with big rooms in a perfect central location, serving a delicious homemade breakfast.

Just keep in mind that there are some stairs to reach your room, as going up stairs is part of Hvar life. 😀 However, the friendly staff is ready to help with your luggage, and can also meet you at the port/marina if you’re coming by ferry to Hvar town.

3. Heritage Hotel Dea

Another historic hotel in the heart of Hvar town, centrally located yet quiet, is Heritage Hotel Dea.

It’s the perfect place to base yourself while visiting Hvar. They serve a fantastic made-to-order breakfast, and the staff is ready to help with anything you might need to organize.

While the rooms are a bit on the smaller side, they are beautifully decorated, well-equipped, and comfortable.
