The Villa Argentina was built as a gilded private residence at the beginning of the 20th century, and, along with three other private villas, converted into a hotel complex in the 1950s, thus creating an exclusive enclave just minutes from the gates of Dubrovnik’s old town. Attracted by the hotel’s opulence and splendid location, stylish and noteworthy guests began arriving shortly thereafter making the resort one of the most prestigious destinations on the Adriatic.
