La propriété — Hotel President
Hotel President is a straightforward, no-frills 3-star on the western edge of Split’s Bačvice beach strip. The lobby has tired parquet and a small reception desk, but the selling point is pure location: you walk out the door and onto the city’s main sandy cove. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want beach access and don’t mind basic rooms; families and young groups are the core demographic.
Chroniques de Split
Split grew from the retirement palace of Roman emperor Diocletian, built around AD 300, and his mausoleum later became the city’s cathedral. After the seventh-century collapse of nearby Salona, refugees moved inside the palace walls, founding a town that expanded outward over centuries. Venetian, Austrian and Yugoslav rule all left layers on the architecture — Renaissance townhouses sit against Roman columns. Today Diocletian’s Palace is a living UNESCO site, with hundreds of residents still living inside the ancient walls, and the Riva waterfront is the city’s social spine.

Guide complet de Split →Meilleurs mois
May, mid-September and October offer warm sea temperatures (21-24°C) and far fewer crowds than July-August, plus ferries to nearby islands still run on a reliable schedule.
Peak / Festival surge
July and August are absolute peak, driven by European school holidays and major festivals like the Split Summer Festival (music, theatre in the Peristyle). Hotel prices double or treble; booking for President in July 2026 will likely cost €100-140 a night for a double room.
La saison des épaules
Mid-June and mid-September are the budget sweet spots: hotel rates drop roughly 30-40%, the sea is still swimmable, and queues at Diocletian’s Palace shorten. October can also work for quiet walking.
Météo & Emballage
Split’s July climate is reliably hot (daytime highs 30-34°C) with strong midday sun, but a bora wind can whip up the coast and cool off evenings. Pack light linen or cotton clothes, sturdy sandals for the pebble beaches, and one long-sleeved layer for sudden breezes.
Briefing de la ville — Split
- Split’s Riva promenade has completed a repaving project in early 2026; pedestrian access is now fully open, but some café terraces have shifted layouts.
- The city introduced a digital tourist tax payment system via the ‘Split Visit’ app in late 2025 – visitors staying in hotels must register their details through check-in systems that link directly.
- New direct ferry routes from Split to Vis (summer 2026) start 1 June, with three daily crossings; check the Jadrolinija schedule, as these tend to sell out in July.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel President, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor, facing the courtyard (north side) — these get afternoon light but minimal street noise, and the top floor avoids foot traffic from above.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 2nd floor overlooking the street — the bars spill out until 1am, and the lift stops here every trip. Also skip ground-floor rooms near the lobby due to early-morning luggage noise.
Best views
Rooms on the south side (odd-numbered rooms, if that’s the naming scheme) look over the old town rooftops and bell towers — request number 10 or 14 for a direct line to the Riva seafront.
Quietest floors
Floors 3 and 4 (of 4) — furthest from street and lift motor, with good sound insulation on the courtyard side.
🔊 Noise notes
The hotel is on a pedestrian street off the Riva, so foot traffic, restaurant terrace chatter, and occasional scooters pass by until 2am in summer. The lift is central and rattles on floor 2. Ice-machine room on floor 2 hums all night.
Insider tips
1. Check in after 3pm to avoid the cleaning crew’s vacuuming on floor 2. 2. Request a top-floor courtyard room (noting quiet floors) when booking by phone — the front desk can override online assignments for returning guests.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Principales attractions à Split
💡 Bring a book or picnic from Pazar and sit on the far eastern end near the fish market, where locals outnumber tourists. Avoid paying 30 kuna for a coffee at front-row cafes—walk one street inland for half the price.
💡 Buy a bag of sour plums (višnje) and almonds for a cheap snack. Haggle only if buying in bulk—locals pay listed prices. Best visited before 11am when produce is freshest.
💡 Enter through the Bronze Gate from the waterfront for a dramatic view under the vaults. Go early (before 9am) to avoid crowds.
💡 Walk up the 500 steps from Sustipan for a quieter route than the main road. Take a swim at Kašjuni beach on the western side—free and less busy than Bačvice.
💡 From the fortress, walk downhill slightly to a restaurant above the quarry to see the dragon skulls left from filming. Take bus 22 from the main station (10 kuna).
