This lovely boutique hotel in a beautifully restored 16th-century stone building in Dubrovnik’s old town attracts discerning couples.

The Grand Dame of Dubrovnik hotels. The 19th-century Hilton Imperial stands just outside the medieval City Walls.

Despite its grandiose façade and imposing lobby, once you've checked in, the ambience is relaxed and unpretentious. The best bedrooms have balconies overlooking the sea and lots of natural light. Highlights include cocktails under the magnolia tree and afternoon tea with a live pianist. Read expert review From £ 141

'More' – pronounced 'mor-ray' – means 'sea' in Croatian, and the big plus of this hotel built into a hillside is the fantastic view over Lapad Bay. It’s popular with couples, and especially beautiful in the evening, when the sun sets over the sea, turning the sky hues of orange, pink and purple, with the rocky Grebeni islets rising into the horizon. There's a rock-and-concrete bathing area directly below the hotel, with sun beds and easy access into the sea, and a small spa has a steam room. The hotel arranges excursions (including a sailing trip, with skipper) and has a special honeymoon package. Read expert review From £ 146
