Within the walls of Diocletian’s Palace in Split, Hotel Vestibul Palace incorporates Roman masonry, Gothic details and Renaissance fabric into a compact contemporary hotel. Suites place clean-lined furniture, glass and soft neutral tones against exposed stone walls and irregular historic spaces. A striking glazed atrium forms the principal lounge and dining area, bringing daylight into the ancient structure without disguising it. The bar and restaurant remain intimate, while the hotel’s entrance opens directly onto the narrow lanes, courtyards and monumental remains of Split’s UNESCO-listed centre.
