3 best rooftop pool hotels in Split

Rooftop pool hotels in Split blend classic Adriatic city views with a proper “cool-down” spot above the streets. In Split, the most rewarding locations sit around the Old Town core—near Diocletian’s Palace—and along the Riva waterfront, where you can step out for harbour life and walk back to your hotel in minutes. The Riva Promenade runs alongside Diocletian’s Palace, stretching from the ferry area to Prokurative Square, making it a natural base for short trips on foot. For skyline-and-sea panoramas, staying on the west side toward Marjan brings a calmer rhythm: Marjan is Split’s green peninsula, known for viewpoints over rooftops and the harbour.

These rooftop pool stays suit travellers who want a bit of luxury without sacrificing convenience—couples celebrating something special, repeat visitors who know the sights and want downtime, and business guests who prefer a quieter evening routine. Expect hotels to be best experienced at golden hour, when the rooftop terrace setting turns into the highlight of the day.

Where to stay, in practical terms: - Old Town / Diocletian’s Palace edges for maximum walkability (and easy access to the Riva). - By the Riva waterfront for an “arrival-and-explore” holiday pace, especially if you’re using the port frequently. - Toward Marjan for a more relaxed feel while still staying close to the centre.

Examples from our inventory that fit this rooftop-and-view brief include Ambasador, Dioklecijan Hotel & Residence, Art Hotel, Marvie Hotel & Health, and Amphora’s Garden.
