A landmark of Split's waterfront since 1937, reborn as the city's smartest five-star address. Hotel Ambasador joins the 2026 awards as event partner.
Hotel Ambasador is a five-star hotel on Split’s West Coast promenade, and joins the Travelling for Business Awards as an event partner.
Overlooking the Adriatic with Marjan hill at its back and the bustling Riva a short stroll away, the hotel puts guests 200 metres from the Old Town and the Roman streets of Diocletian’s Palace, with Split airport 26 kilometres up the coast.
The name carries real history. The original Ambasador opened on this spot in 1937, a fine example of the functionalist architecture that shaped Split’s west coast, and the hotel that reopened in 2022 after a complete rebuild honours that heritage while delivering thoroughly modern luxury. A member of Preferred Hotels and Resorts and listed in the Michelin Guide’s hotel selection, it has quickly become one of the most desirable addresses on Croatia’s coast.
Split has become one of the Adriatic’s most accessible business and bleisure destinations, with year-round direct flights from London, as our Andrea Thompson noted in Croatia’s secret city escapes. Hotel Ambasador is well set up to receive them: a conference space with natural light and flexible settings for meetings, workshops and seminars, free Wi-Fi throughout, and a rarity in central Split, private parking and a garage. Rooms and suites run from Classic through to the Diplomat and Ambasador suites, many with balconies facing the sea or the Old Town.
Restaurant Méditerranée brings Dalmatian culinary tradition into a new era, from the Adriatic catch of the day to an extensive wine list, while Bar Split serves coffee to cocktails with marina views and the rooftop terrace hosts private events above the city. The Hacelia Spa adds massage treatments, a Nuvola dry floatation bed and a fitness area, with an outdoor pool for the warmer months. It is a strong base for exploring a coastline growing greener by the year, from Blue Flag beaches to the islands beyond.
As an event partner of the Travelling for Business Awards, Hotel Ambasador brings Adriatic hospitality to the UK’s leading celebration of excellence in business travel. Book a stay at ambasadorsplit.com.
