Hotel Split is at Strožanacka 20, in the Strožanac area of Podstrana, a coastal town south-east of the city. It is a sea-view hotel rather than a city-centre one: the page puts the Split Riva and the port within about ten kilometres, the airport about twenty-five minutes away by road and the Predgrade railway station about sixteen minutes away. The property is classed as a four, with no star rating stated. Facilities include a seasonal outdoor pool, a spa offering sports massage, aromatherapy and body scrub treatments, a garden, a coffee shop, a rooftop terrace, an on-site art gallery, a meeting room, secured bicycle storage, an electric car charging station and a 24-hour front desk. Free wifi and air conditioning are in the rooms, and breakfast with local cuisine is included in the rate.
Rooms are described as superior doubles or twins with a balcony and sea view, standard doubles with a partial sea view, superior triples with a sea view and a premium suite with a sea view. Triples and the suite give families and small groups some space, and the balconies are the main draw in summer. The sea views and the quiet of the coast are the reason to stay here instead of in the old town. Expect a calmer atmosphere, with the sound of the sea rather than the sound of bars.
Think about transport. Podstrana is linked to Split by a coastal road and local bus services, and a taxi or a car makes getting into the city easy, though the journey takes time in summer traffic. The hotel offers an airport shuttle for a surcharge and self-parking for a daily fee, so a rental car is a practical choice if you plan to explore.
The electric charging point is a bonus for drivers of electric vehicles. If you rely on public transport, check bus times in advance, since evenings can be sparse, and plan to return before the last service.
Who it suits
Couples looking for a quieter seaside stay with a spa, families who want pool time and sea views, and travellers with a car who plan day trips to Omiš, Klis, Trogir or Krka. The coast around Podstrana has pebble beaches and promenades, and Omiš and the Cetina River are a short drive to the south-east.
It is less suited to people who want to walk to the palace in the evenings or to do all their sightseeing on foot. The pool is seasonal, so winter stays are more about the spa, the terrace and the sea air.
Compare it with the Radisson Blu and Le Meridien Lav on the same coast, which are larger resorts, and with the old-town hotels, which put you within walking distance of the sights. Hotel Split sits between: a modest-sized hotel with a spa and a sea view, at a distance from the bustle. Check the room options for your dates, and ask about parking and shuttle arrangements before you arrive.
