Is Hotel Excelsior worth it for history buffs?
DependsFor history
Hotel Excelsior offers some history & culture, but not enough to make it the reason to go.
A grand, history-laden hotel on the waterfront just east of Ploče Gate, with full-on Old Town and Lovrijenac views, a spa and seaside terraces. Polished and a touch old-school, with one of the best walls-and-sea panoramas in the city.
