The Hotel De la Ville is a lovely boutique property within the heart of the picturesque Old Town of Korcula. A fantastic location near the seafront, excellent service from the warm and caring staff, and elegant style that speaks of a time of glamorous minimalism. It is easy to understand why the De la Ville’s guests list ranges from celebrities to members of Britain’s royal family, even the always elegant style icon Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis stayed at the Hotel De la Ville!

Welcome

Welcome to the Hotel De la Ville

The oldest hotel in the town of Korcula, The Hotel De la Ville first opened in 1912, with its most recent renovations completing in 2015. The interior décor, with its color palette of soft purples and blues, mirrored bar, chandeliers, and vine covered terrace, speaks of la dolce vita – it is easy to feel transported to another age. The building retains its heritage, the rooms are not large, but are very comfortable, the property has only stairs, no elevator, but the fantastic staff will assure you are well cared for.

As with all our favorite properties, it is always about the people. The staff at the Hotel De la Ville exemplifies kind hospitality. The excellent team offers warm, attentive service and genuine kindness to each and every guest they welcome.

Within the heart of the picturesque Old Town of Korcula, the outdoor terrace is a unique feature of this property. Wanda recalls, 

“the terrace is a popular place for the ‘local elders’ to meet and have coffee throughout the day, as they discuss happenings of the town. After a day of viewing, and exploring, when you are ready to slow down, the terrace is a nice place to take a break and enjoy a cold drink or cocktail and savor the spectacular sunset views.”

The G&T restaurant offers Dalmatian fare. Their Club Lounge offers a list of 17 different types of gins, plus gin-based cocktails, wine by the glass, chilled beers,  herbal teas and coffee, served indoors or on the terrace in the center of Korcula town.
