As part of the Sheraton brand’s goal to open 150 new hotels by 2020, the latest opening marks the inaugural entry of the brand into southern Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, complete with charming beach, full-service spa and luxurious outdoor pool.
“As Starwood’s largest and most global brand, we are thrilled to open our second Sheraton hotel in Croatia, in the historic city of Dubrovnik,” comments Dave Marr, Global Brand Leader, Sheraton Hotels & Resorts. “Croatia is a strategically vital market for Starwood, and Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera Hotel will reinforce the brand’s position as a leader in global travel.”
Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera Hotel is set on the spectacular Adriatic coast along the Dubrovnik Riviera. Easily accessible from Dubrovnik airport, the hotel boasts 240 spacious guestrooms, including 11 suites with terraces, and provides sweeping views of the secluded bay and mountainous backdrop. The hotel’s contemporary interior design is inspired by Dubrovnik’s culture and surroundings, including the medieval terracotta rooftops, coral from the Adriatic Sea and traditional Dalmatian filigree jewelry.
With 1,400m² of meeting and event space, including a 900m² congress room, Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera Hotel offers the largest hotel conference facilities in the region, while the range of leisure facilities such as Shine Spa for Sheraton, the well-equipped Sheraton Fitness Centre, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, tennis courts and a picturesque beach add to the level of luxury.
The hotel features several restaurants and bars, serving both international and local Croatian cuisines, and providing a stylish setting with floor-to-ceiling windows and impressive views. The lobby also serves as a relaxing social space where guests can indulge in Paired, Sheraton’s imaginative new lobby menu comprised of artisanal small plates and bar snacks paired with premium wines and craft beers.
“It brings us great pleasure to strengthen our partnership with Hoteli Dubrovacka Rivijera and strategically enter into a prime European tourist destination,” concludes Michael Wale, President, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, Europe, Africa and Middle East. “Dubrovnik is aptly described as the jewel of the Adriatic, and we look forward to welcoming guests to Sheraton Dubrovnik Riviera Hotel.”
