Solo, The Pucic Palace works.
One of the only true luxury hotels within the walls, in a restored 18th-century baroque palazzo overlooking the daily fruit-and-veg market. You step out the door into the heart of the medieval city — atmospheric and central, with the trade-off of street noise and no sea pool. Two in-house restaurants: Lucijan, with terrace tables right on Gundulić Square, and the quieter first-floor fine-dining Magdalena.
