Heritage Hotel Life Palace

Amazing hotel in the heart of the old town. Beautifuly old stone building refurbished with great taste. Matei has been an excellent Ambassador of the city and cordial with all suggestions. Loved it!

There are many heritage hotels in Croatia, comprising historic buildings sensitively repurposed as hotels. The Life Palace was our first experience of a heritage hotel and it certainly has the required historic credentials. As you would expect, the hotel is well-located in the old centre of Sibenik. It’s within a few minutes’ walk of the town’s main sights, although there can be a lot of climbing involved in those short walks! Given its location, it’s not possible to drive right to the hotel. We parked our car in Poljana Public Garage, which is a modern underground carpark close to the hotel. The staff we encountered at the Life Palace were a mixed bunch, ranging from slightly surly to extremely welcoming (the latter very much outnumbered the former). Breakfast was a highlight, with helpful staff who gave us the option to eat inside the building or outside in the square which the hotel fronts. Our room was very pleasant, with a slightly whiffy bathroom. We soon discovered that this is a feature of many historic hotels in Croatia.

What a delight. Lovely boutique hotel (17 rooms) housed within an old palace in the heart of the Old Town. Bed (large en-suite rooms) and breakfast (no dining, but surrounded by quaint restaurants). Clean, with excellent service from friendly and helpful staff. Thank you.

Stayed here because we also stayed at this hotel in 2018 and we were super happy back then. Unfortunately the hotel has gone backwards slightly over that time but it is still very good. Breakfast is excellent and generous. Rooms are clean and a little funky. Shower pressure in room 103 is very poor, but our friends who stayed in room 104 had good pressure. Location is perfect in the middle of the old town. They no longer have an arrangement regarding car parking. Would probably stay here again if we ever visit Sibenik again.

Beautiful hotel! The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, friendly and thoughtful. They heard it was my birthday and surprised me with champagne and a gorgeous cake - with sparkers, birthday song and all! Their restaurant recommendations were excellent, and cafe AMAZING. Cake was out of this world! Room was clean, comfortable and quiet - we slept very well. We left rejuvenated and so grateful for the kindness of the staff at Heritage Hotel Life Palace.
