Pet-Friendly Hotels in Split for Families
5 family-friendly hotels with pet friendly in Split . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Split suits families travelling with a dog: Diocletian's Palace is a short walk from several hotels, Marjan park is close to the old town and there is a dog beach at Žnjan. Five published hotels on this page list a pet policy: Radisson Blu Resort & Spa, AC Hotel by Marriott Split, Cora Hotel, Hotel Globo and Marmont Heritage Hotel. All five provide pet bowls, and several add a basket, a pool, family rooms or a beachfront setting. I have compared them on location, what each listing says about pets and what to confirm before booking, since fees and rules are set by each hotel.
Split sits between the Adriatic and the limestone Mosor mountains, with Diocletian's Palace at the centre and beaches stretched along the southern coast. The old town is a working warren of stone alleys where dogs and prams move at the same speed. Marjan, the city's forested park, climbs from the harbour and gives dogs an off-leash zone among pine trees. Bačvice beach is sandy and shallow for kids, and the dog-friendly stretch is at Žnjan, 15 minutes east on foot.

🐕Why Split Works for Dog-Owning Families
A pet-friendly hotel works best when the rest of the stay suits children too. These five hotels offer family rooms or suites, and some add a pool or a beachfront setting. Pet bowls are supplied at all five, and the listings mention a basket at three of them. The pet rules are not identical: Radisson Blu allows pets in family suites only, and Marmont Heritage charges its pet fee per stay. Ask each hotel about the rules for your dog before you book.
Radisson Blu Resort & Spa is a five-star beachfront resort in Žnjan, four kilometres east of Split's old town, with a private beach, a pool complex and family suites. It is rated 8.5 from 3,347 reviews, the most reviewed of the five. Its listing documents a pet policy, with pet bowls in the room, and says pets are allowed in family suites only, so book that room type. It is the right choice for families who want a beach and a pool more than a walk to the old town, though the old town is a drive or a bus ride away.
AC Hotel by Marriott Split is a four-star modern hotel near Žnjan beach, rated 9.4 from 2,044 reviews, the joint highest score on this page. Its listing places it 15 minutes' walk from Diocletian's Palace and 10 minutes from Marjan park, with the dog beach at Žnjan across the street. Pet bowls and a pet basket are provided in the room. For a family with a dog that needs a daily swim and a run, this is the most convenient of the five. I would choose it for the dog beach, and accept the longer walk to the old town.
Cora Hotel and Hotel Globo are the two four-star hotels closest to the old town after Marmont. Cora Hotel is a contemporary hotel in the Bačvice area, 10 minutes' walk from Diocletian's Palace and eight minutes from the seafront promenade, rated 9.3 from 1,305 reviews. Hotel Globo is a family hotel five minutes' walk from the palace and eight minutes from Bačvice beach, with an on-site pool and family rooms, rated 9.0 from 1,142 reviews. Both supply pet bowls and a basket. Globo's listing adds that staff can arrange a vet visit if needed. I would choose Globo for the pool and Cora for the promenade.
Marmont Heritage Hotel is the most atmospheric of the five: a four-star historic hotel inside Diocletian's Palace, 50 metres from the cathedral. It is rated 9.4 from 343 reviews, the joint highest score, with fewer reviews than the others. Its listing says pets are allowed with bowls provided, and that the pet fee is charged per stay and capped for stays over five nights, a clear rule that helps when planning a longer visit. I would choose it for a family that wants to sleep inside the palace walls and does not need a pool or a beach on site.
Parent's take
If I were booking Split for a family with a dog, I would choose Hotel Globo for its pool, family rooms, five-minute walk to Diocletian's Palace and the pet basket and bowls. For a beach stay, I would pick AC Hotel by Marriott Split, rated 9.4 from 2,044 reviews, with the dog beach at Žnjan across the street. I would ask either hotel to confirm the pet rules for my dog before booking.

Marmont suits longer Split stays where the per-stay pet fee cap pays off. The hotel is inside the old town walls, which means morning walks straight onto Roman stone alleys before the day gets busy. Rooms are heritage-style with a bit less floor space than modern hotels but enough for two kids and a small dog. Pet bowls supplied; bring your own dog bed.
