Heritage Hotel Santa Lucia, Split

4.5 (13 reviews) · Comfort
Charming heritage hotel with a secret garden for breakfast and a tradition-rich restaurant with terrace dining

Overview

For centuries, the Heritage Hotel Santa Lucia has been distinguished in Split's cultural, social, and political scenes. It's nestled in Pjaca—also known as People's Square—which has served as the core of the old city since the 1770s. This historic hotel, restored and reopened in 2021, is a gateway to the past, just a 1-minute stroll from Jupiter's Temple and three minutes from Saint Domnius Cathedral. Since you'll be in Diocletian's Palace, everything is within walking distance, though the beaches are a bit farther out, between 10 and 30 minutes. 

With just over 30 rooms, Heritage Hotel Santa Lucia is quaint yet offers contemporary comfort and tradition. Each room is clean, spacious, and well-lit, with wooden parquet floors and neutral tones that reflect Split's natural environment. Families have found the rooms with a shared terrace to be particularly fitting. And for those looking for a bit more space, the Deluxe Suites are equipped with seating areas and beautiful views.

Within the hotel, you'll find a few different dining options. Start your day with a breakfast spread in the Secret Garden, and cap it off with a fine dining experience on the La Luce terrace, which offers views of the Old Town and the bell tower of Saint Dominus. For a casual setting, enjoy a cup of coffee paired with homemade cakes.

Gorgeous hotel right in the heart of old town split. Staff were welcoming, efficient, and helpful throughout our stay. The rooms were bright, clean, and spacious. We occupied a family suite with a view overlooking the square - we were able to catch the Euro final locally, and were treated to Spanish fans singing heartily at the conclusion of the final. Despite being over a busy square, the rooms were quiet and comfortable. Read more
