At a glance
Set on Dubrovnik’s Gundulić Square, in the heart of the Old Town, The Pucic Palace occupies a restored 17th-century Baroque mansion where each of the nineteen rooms and suites is named after a Croatian poet, musician, or artist from the city’s history.
Wooden-beamed ceilings, wrought-iron balustrades, and antiques on loan from city museums sit alongside contemporary touches like Bulgari bath products and Tempur-Pedic beds.
Mornings can start at the hotel’s Parisian-style café spilling onto the square, and the location makes exploring effortless: Pile Gate is a five-minute walk away, Banje Beach seven, and the hotel is genuinely steps from several of the city’s Game of Thrones filming locations, including the Jesuit Stairs used for Cersei’s Walk of Shame. Guests receive complimentary access to Banje Beach with a towel, parasol, and sunlounger included, along with porter service from outside the city walls for anyone arriving by car.
For travellers who want to be inside the Old Town walls rather than a transfer away from them, The Pucic Palace is the most central luxury option in Dubrovnik and the natural base for our Game of Thrones itinerary.
Highlights
- 19 individually named rooms and suites within a restored 17th-century Baroque palace on Dubrovnik’s Gundulić Square.

Croatia
Croatia is one of Europe’s hidden gems. This stunning and mysterious country is full of history. You can go island hopping and enjoy pristine beaches without being surrounded by loads of tourists. What’s more, Croatia is cheap by European standards so you can really splash out. Go before everyone else realises what they’re missing. Here’s our gay Croatia travel guide.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.

Dubrovnik, Mostar & Kotor: A Balkans Coastal Discovery

This itinerary treats Dubrovnik as a base rather than a single stop, using it to reach two neighbouring countries most travellers never quite make time for. A day trip crosses into Bosnia and Herzegovina to reach Mostar, a city defined by its 16th-century Ottoman bridge and a history of destruction and rebuilding still visible at every turn.
