Dubrovnik, Croatia: Kid-Friendly Luxury at the Hilton Imperial

When you are traveling with a baby, location becomes even ore important and nothing beats the Hilton Imperial in Dubrovnik on that front. Sitting just at the edge of the old city, the Hilton has the old-world charm of a 19th century restoration with the facilities of a five-star resort.

We found the service impeccable : the staff was friendly and helpful, and laughed and played with Karam at every turn. The breakfast buffet was your typical spread with some Croatian specialities like cuttlefish ink bread ( which Karam devoured) and chocolate pancakes (which I devoured). The concierge and receptionists were accommodating and ready with information (and beach towels) at any time of the day. After our first night we asked for Karam's cot to be changed as it seemed to have a bit of a ridge in a mattress and it was done promptly. They also offer babysitting services. 


The duty manager checked in on our satisfaction, and even sent us a cake to celebrate our anniversary!

All in all a very pleasant experience if you are willing to spend about USD 300 for a basic room. But nothing beats a full day of tourism that doesn't involve a major journey to get the baby to bed!
