St. Joseph's Boutique Hotel
A six-room 16th-century townhouse restored into an intimate boutique hotel a minute from Stradun. Feels like staying in a private Dubrovnik house rather than a hotel.

Location and neighbourhood
Inside the medieval walls — no cars, marble streets, and stairs everywhere. Unbeatable atmosphere, but every arrival ends on foot.

Getting there
- Airport transfer

- Taxi / Uber estimate
- Old Town ≈ 0 min · Cruise port (Gruž) ≈ 11 min · Airport ≈ 28 min. Uber operates in Dubrovnik but surges on cruise days and after midnight — a fixed private price is usually steadier. Check fare estimates.
- Longer journeys

Local insider tips
