King Kresimir

A small boutique hotel in the old town of Šibenik

While staying at King Krešimir Heritage Hotel in Šibenik, you will find yourself right on the main town square, only a short walk from the UNESCO’s St James Cathedral and town centre. You will feel like a king at the place where history meets luxury and comfort. The outside terrace offers a lounge and a la carte area where you can enjoy refreshing cocktails, local dishes, and the best coffee in tow.

The building that is the home of the King Krešimir hotel today has always been the center of the rich cultural life of Šibenik. Its first owners, the Divnić family, were a noble family that led a rich social life and had cultural influence in Croatia and Europe. Musical evenings organized by the National Theatre were held in the palace in the beautifully painted salon, and today you can witness an impressive fresco on the ceiling. The first lamp installed 125 years ago can be found on the corner of the hotel, as a reminder of history since Šibenik was the second city in the world with street electricity. The building’s Gothic phase is represented by a portal from the 15th century that leads to the reception desk today.
