Located at 2 Ulica kraljice Jelene 3, this exceptionally rated hotel (boasting an impressive 9.4 rating) offers guests an authentic Croatian experience within the ancient stone walls of Šibenik’s Old Town. The hotel’s privileged position on Queen Jelena Street places visitors just moments away from Šibenik’s crown jewel, the UNESCO-protected Cathedral of St. James, and within the labyrinthine medieval streets that have witnessed centuries of Mediterranean history.

The accommodations feature thoughtfully appointed rooms that capture the essence of Dalmatian design—think exposed stone walls, wooden accents, and a palette inspired by the Adriatic landscape—while providing all essential amenities for a comfortable stay.

What truly distinguishes ST. CLARA OLD TOWN is its perfect embodiment of Croatian hospitality, where the warmth of the staff creates an environment that feels more like a welcoming home than a hotel.

As evening falls, the hotel’s proximity to Šibenik’s waterfront promenade invites guests to experience the magical transformation of the city at sunset, when the ancient limestone buildings glow golden and the Adriatic Sea sparkles under the fading light.
