Our take
I would choose Heritage Hotel Cardo for a stay inside Diocletian's Palace, where the building itself is the attraction. Baroque and Roman architecture, a continental breakfast and the Konoba Korta restaurant on site make it easy to settle in, and the Peristyle and the Riva Promenade are a short walk away. It is adults-only, so families cannot book it. Being inside the old walls means a lively setting around the door.
- ✓Explore the Diocletian's Palace early in the morning to avoid crowds and experience its quiet charm.
- ✓Dine at Konoba Korta, the hotel's restaurant, for a convenient and authentic local meal.
- ✓Take advantage of the 24/7 front desk for local recommendations and assistance with your plans.
Why we love it

Why guests love itHeritage Hotel Cardo is an adults-only hotel inside Diocletian's Palace in Split, so I would not suggest it for a family with children. For couples and adult travellers it blends Baroque and Roman architecture, with air-conditioned rooms, satellite TV and minibars. A continental breakfast is served, and the restaurant Konoba Korta is on site. The Peristyle and the Riva Promenade are a short walk away. The guest rating is excellent.
