Culture & History At Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik, also known as the 'Pearl of the Adriatic', is a city that holds many historical stories that are waiting to be discovered. Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik boasts a proud history, which links its past back to major intellectual, social, cultural and artistic movements during its one hundred years of existence. Dubrovnik is home to an array of incredible buildings, including a fairytale fortress exhibiting all styles of architecture and wonderful Baroque, Gothic and Renaissance churches, which illustrate how the Old Town has transitioned throughout the centuries. With the break-up of Yugoslavia in 1991, Dubrovnik was heavily bombed, paving the way for restoration works that resulted in the city emerging as one of the top tourist destinations in the Mediterranean and earning UNESCO World Heritage Site status.
