Our take
Places Hvar Hotel by Valamar suits travellers who want a renovated resort on the water in Stari Grad, with pine trees around the pool and plenty to do. Tennis, the spa and the bike, scooter and boat rentals cover active days and slower ones. I would book it for a week of exploring the island from a calm base. Guests who want the nightlife of Hvar Town should stay there instead.
- ✓Take advantage of the bike and boat rentals to explore Hvar's coastline at your own pace
- ✓Spend an afternoon at the spa and wellness area for a truly relaxing experience
- ✓Enjoy breakfast at the restaurant and then head to the pool bar for a refreshing drink
Why we love it

Why guests love itPlaces Hvar Hotel by Valamar sits on the Stari Grad promenade, 50 metres from the sea, and I would suggest it to active families. The outdoor pool is shaded by pine trees, tennis courts give older children something to do, and bike, scooter and boat rentals make the island easy to explore. Parents can book time at the spa and wellness area. The hotel was fully renovated in 2020 and pets are welcome. A guest score of 8.9 supports the choice.
