"Newly renovated five-star on a south-facing headland."
Concierge
"The ten-story building is no thing of beauty, but who cares when the design (with its bulging front and setbacks) allows for all 308 rooms to have a private, full-sea-view balcony?"
Fodor's
"The rooms are decorated in subtle shades of beige and gray, and all have a sea view and balcony affording stunning sunsets, and a flat-screen TV."
Frommer's
"As a luxury tourist destination, the Palace deserves no more than a mixed review even though it has reigned over Dubrovnik's hotel scene for years."
