Room 234

It is hard to conceive when you visit Dubrovnik today that this fantastic city of orange-tiled roofs and marble streets, whose centuries old walls rise high above the clear, blue waters of the Dalmatian coast, was only recently bombarded in the war between Serbia and Croatia that occurred on the break up of what was once Yugoslavia.  For the scene today is entirely pacific, the damage from the war has been repaired, and the city has become a center of tourism.   Clearly the hotel to stay in is the Excelsior.  Only a short walk from the “ old town,” the hotel has dramatic views of the island of Lokram just offshore and the ancient walled city itself. There are several corner rooms with wonderful views; we stayed in Room 234, a large suite that features floor to ceiling windows and a large balcony from which we watched the sun setting over the walls of the "old town.”
