Editor-in-Chief: Jai Michael

Hotel Dubrovnik stands on Ban Jelačić Square, where the trams meet, an easy start for a ski morning on Sljeme. It opened in 1929 and has 214 rooms and 8 suites, the art deco Kavana Dubrovnik, an American steakhouse and a fitness centre open around the clock. See our Zagreb guide.

On Zagreb’s main square

Hotel Dubrovnik stands at Gajeva ulica 1 on Ban Jelačić Square, the heart of Zagreb, where the trams meet; from here it is an easy start for a morning on Sljeme. The site began in 1829 as a merchant’s house with a large café on its ground floor. In 1929 the café made way for a new hotel, and in 1942 it took the name Dubrovnik.

A gym, not a spa

There is no spa. The fitness centre is open 24 hours for hotel guests, and airport transfers can be booked at reception.

A century of stories on Zagreb’s main square, in the hotel’s words.

Rooms and suites

There are 214 rooms and 8 suites, from standard singles to Deluxe King rooms and Junior and Executive Suites. Every room has air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a safe and soundproof windows, which matter on the main square. The Presidential Suite on the sixth floor has 70 m² and a 30 m² terrace over Ban Jelačić Square. Small pets up to 10 kg are accepted for a fee.

Eating and drinking

Kavana Dubrovnik, the art deco café, has been a meeting place for Zagreb’s business and cultural life for generations, with its lobby bar alongside. The American Steak & Grill House serves T-bone, New York strip and porterhouse steaks. Breakfast runs 6.30–10am, until 10.30am at weekends and on holidays, and room service 7am–10pm.

Our advice: ask for a room facing the square, take the tram towards Sljeme early, and come back to coffee at Kavana Dubrovnik.

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Hotel Dubrovnik before you go.
