The Royal Princess Hotel is tucked away on the scenic Lapad peninsula, one of Dubrovnik’s most desirable coastal enclaves. A seafront promenade runs right past the hotel, backed by pine trees and pebbly coves, with cafés and bars dotted along the bay.

Lapad resort centre is within walking distance, while medieval Dubrovnik Old Town – all terracotta roofs and city walls – is just a short taxi or local bus ride away. From the nearby harbour, boat trips run to the Elaphiti Islands for car-free beaches and forested walking trails, making this an excellent base for combining city, coast and islands in one stay.
