“We are beginning to find booking the luxury hotels we recommend in the city to be a challenge,” says Wanda S. Radetti, the founder and president of VisitCroatia.com-Tasteful Croatian Journeys, cited by Conde Nast Traveler as the World Top Travel Specialist for Croatia for more than a decade. “We start checking availability for desired room types and booking for July and August at least seven to eight months in advance.” Among her recommended places to stay are the Hotel Bellevue Dubrovnik [Adriatic Luxury Hotels], which recently underwent an extensive refurbishment. “It is located on a cliff overlooking a beautiful pebble beach away from the crowds and yet is just a 15-minute walk to Pile Gate [the entrance to the Old Town]. We love it and so do our travelers.” Another property on Radetti’s list is St. Joseph’s, a restored 16th-century property in the Old Town. “This is a small family-owned-and-run hotel. What makes St. Joseph fresh and new for me is its ability to weave old and new, and to have a combination of superlative service and the magic of being within the walls of Dubrovnik.”
