Hotel Diadem

Hotel Diadem suits you if you want a straightforward base in Omiš rather than an isolated resort. The town centre is close, the hotel has a restaurant, and the practical basics are covered for a stay built around being out during the day and back in town by evening.

English is spoken by the hotel staff, so arranging the useful things should be simple. There is also free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a 24-hour reception and an airport transfer service to organise with the hotel.

The hotel is in Omiš, Croatia, close to the town centre. That gives you an easy starting point for a walk through town, with Omiš City Beach, Velika Beach and the private beach of Croatian Beach House Omiš among the nearby coastal options.

You can arrive by car and use the hotel parking, or arrange a vehicle through the hotel. An airport transfer service is also available, either as part of the hotel’s transfer arrangements or through a service organised with the property.

You have a broad spread of room categories to choose from, including economical and standard doubles, triple accommodation, suites, apartments, studios and cottages. For two, the double rooms with balconies and private bathrooms keep the choice simple; for a more spacious stay, the apartments and suites make more sense, particularly when you want somewhere to sit rather than treating the bed as the entire floor plan.

The suites add the more comfortable details: air conditioning, a minibar, a bath, a safe, a television, a hairdryer and toiletries. Several categories bring a balcony with a sea, water or city view, while some apartments and cottages also come with a view. Room facilities vary by category, so check the individual room card before booking rather than assuming every minibar and bathtub has travelled through the whole building.

The hotel has a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, so you can keep meals on site when the day has already taken enough out of you. The restaurant’s listed dishes include sushi, shabu-shabu and sukiyaki, giving the dining offer a distinctly Japanese direction rather than the usual generic hotel menu.

The restaurant covers the main meals. The exact meal arrangement depends on the booking selected, so check whether breakfast, lunch or dinner is included when you reserve.

The useful recovery option here is the spa bath: a place to let your shoulders remember that they belong to you after a day of travelling or diving. Beauty treatments are also available for anyone who prefers a treatment room to another round of sightseeing.

Families have an outdoor play area for children, while the nearby beaches give you an uncomplicated alternative to staying indoors. The hotel also has a private beach listed among the nearby places to explore, alongside Omiš City Beach and Velika Beach.

Check-in starts at 14:00 and check-out is by 11:00. Reception operates around the clock, with a lift for access to the upper floors, and luggage storage is available if your travel timetable refuses to line up neatly with the room timetable.

Free Wi-Fi, parking, an ATM, currency exchange, a safe, wake-up calls and telephone access are all available. The hotel can also arrange an airport transfer and car hire; ask the hotel for the current arrangements when you book. Laundry, ironing and shoe-shine services are available, and the property includes a conference room and business facilities.
