Boutique Hotel Within The Unesco Zone Of Split

In a city that grew out of the ancient palace of Emperor Diocletian, where every stone-paved alleyway tells a millennia-old story, an authentic heritage hotel is for sale—a real rarity on the market. Literally just a two-minute walk from the Riva and Diocletian’s Palace, in the very heart of a UNESCO World Heritage site, this property combines history, refinement, and exceptional investment potential.

The 18th-century building, formerly a Franciscan friary, has been meticulously restored and transformed into an elegant boutique hotel featuring six luxuriously appointed guest units. The only one of its kind in the city, the hotel offers guests an authentic stay in the heart of Split, while providing the future owner with a stable and profitable business opportunity. Situated in a quiet stone street, secluded enough from city bustle yet just steps from all key urban destinations—Riva, Pjaca, the Palace, restaurants, and cultural landmarks.

The total area of the property is 350 m², spread across four floors, functionally organized down to the last detail. The accommodations include standard rooms (20–22 m²), executive and superior rooms (22 m²), and spacious suites (32 m²), each offering complete privacy and comfort. Guests also have access to a fully equipped common kitchen with a dining area, while the interior courtyard provides peace and respite from the urban rhythm—a true private oasis in the city center.

A particularly valuable feature of this property is its full accessibility for wheelchair users—every space is designed to allow effortless and dignified movement. Additionally, the building was constructed and restored to the highest safety standards: with thermal and sound insulation, anti-seismic structural features, and 60-minute fire-rated doors. All documentation is in order and ready for ownership transfer.

This hotel is already operating successfully, with excellent reviews and a constant guest base. Thanks to its exclusive location and unique offer, it achieves high seasonal occupancy and premium room rates. Return on investment is fast and certain, and the business model can easily be extended—whether as a luxury B&B, boutique wellness retreat, medical tourism facility, or even a private residence in the most beautiful part of the city.

This is not just a building—it’s an opportunity to become the guardian of a piece of Split’s history. To invest in a space that has character, soul, and lasting value. If you’re seeking something beyond mere square meters and location—something with a story—you’ve just found it.
