KAZBEK BOUTIQUE HOTEL

LAID-BACK LUXURY IN DUBROVNIK'S HISTORICAL SUMMER RESIDENCE

Dubrovnik is a popular tourist destination known for its UNESCO protected old town. However, during the Republic era, the city's nobility preferred spending their leisure time outside the walls in elegant summer residences. Nowadays, these villas still stand and offer a glimpse into a more refined and leisurely lifestyle.

One such villa is Hotel Kazbek, situated on the Lapad peninsula's coast in the safe and sheltered port of Gruž. The hotel offers a luxurious and relaxed experience, with a swimming pool and the Adriatic Sea just a few meters away. The restaurant was once a medieval shipbuilding site and now serves excellent food and regional wines. Despite being close to one of the world's largest tourist destinations, Boutique Hotel Kazbek provides a peaceful and intimate atmosphere, allowing visitors to explore Dubrovnik's slower and more private side. It's a perfect place to experience laid-back luxury in Dubrovnik's historical summer residence.

PAVE MILOGLAV, HOTEL MANAGER:

“The true boutique experience embraces unique design, intimate laid-back atmosphere, personal approach and in our case additionally historical background. But what is most important about boutique is that you make your guests say that staying with you feels like a visit to a good friend. And that they keep returning…"
