Riva Luxury Suites

Riva Luxury Suites Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Riva Luxury Suites honestly feels like stepping into someone’s incredibly well-appointed private residence rather than a typical hotel. This four-star property sits right on Obala Hrvatskog narodnog preporoda — basically Split’s main waterfront promenade — and you know what? The location alone makes it worth considering. I mean, you’re literally steps from Diocletian’s Palace and the harbor, which is pretty much exactly where you want to be in Split.

The Heart of Split

The thing about this location is that it’s not just central — it’s actually positioned perfectly for exploring everything Split has to offer. You can walk to the palace ruins in about two minutes, grab morning coffee at one of the waterfront cafes without even thinking about it, and honestly, the evening stroll along the Riva promenade becomes part of your daily routine. Couples seem to absolutely love this spot (they’ve rated the location a perfect 10), and I can see why — there’s something romantic about having the Adriatic right outside your window and the ancient city walls as your backdrop.

The Suites

Each room here feels more like a boutique apartment than a standard hotel accommodation. The beds are genuinely comfortable — not just hotel-marketing comfortable, but the kind where you actually sleep well and wake up refreshed. The suites have this modern Croatian design aesthetic that works really well, with clean lines and thoughtful touches that make the space feel both sophisticated and livable. What I particularly appreciated was how they’ve managed to soundproof the rooms effectively, because let’s be honest, being on the main promenade could potentially mean noise issues — but it doesn’t.

Dining and Amenities

While the property doesn’t have its own restaurant, this actually works in your favor because you’re surrounded by some of Split’s best dining options. The staff knows the neighborhood inside and out, so they’ll point you toward that little konoba tucked away near the palace walls or the seafood place that locals actually frequent. There’s a well-equipped kitchenette in each suite if you want to prepare simple meals — particularly nice if you’ve picked up fresh ingredients from the morning market at Pazar.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.6 rating isn’t just numbers on a screen — it reflects what happens when a property gets the fundamentals absolutely right. The combination of an unbeatable location, genuinely comfortable accommodations, and staff who clearly care about your experience creates something special. You’re not just staying in Split; you’re living in it for a few days. The fact that you can walk everywhere, sleep well, and have a beautiful base to return to each evening — well, that’s exactly what makes a trip memorable rather than just another hotel stay.

Reviews of Riva Luxury Suites

• Brilliant stay with a great host – Sian from United Kingdom (10/10)

  Excellent apartment with a large bedroom and sturdy, comfortable sofa bed suitable for two adults. We did not cook but if we wanted to everything was provided. Bathrooms were very good and appreciated the toiletries provided. Clean towels everyday. Fantastic location and much closer to everything than expected~ everything within Split was in walking distance. Loved the bi fold doors so you could sit on the balcony and watch the buzz of Split below us. Breakfasts provided were very good especially Brasserie on 7 . Rokko was an amazing host and ensured we had a great stay. He gave lots of recommendations and was very attentive.
