Palace Elisabeth
A five star heritage hotel in the heart of Hvar Town, set above the main square with terraces that look out over the Venetian harbour and the open Adriatic.
Palace Elisabeth is the first full service five star heritage hotel on Hvar, a restored landmark on the town square with origins that reach back centuries and Venetian and Austrian detail throughout. Its terraces sit above the harbour, so the sea and the old town are the backdrop to the day.
It suits couples who want a polished town wedding with a sense of history, an in house team and the glamour of one of the Adriatic's most fashionable islands a short walk from the door.
Palace Elisabeth is a five star heritage hotel on the main square of Hvar Town, on the island of Hvar in Croatia, with sea facing terraces above the Venetian harbour. It hosts up to around 140 guests outside and around 100 inside, with the main terrace seating up to around 80. As an indicative 2026 guide the setup fee starts from around 4,000 euros, with food and drink charged on top at roughly 300 euros per person, and the hotel asks for a minimum privatisation of three nights. Late spring and early autumn give the kindest weather. Confirm capacity, the current package and ceremony options directly with the venue.

Style and setting
Palace Elisabeth stands on the main square of Hvar Town, directly above the town hall, a restored heritage building with Venetian and Austrian architecture and a quiet, considered five star finish. The mood is historic yet contemporary, with an indoor pool, a spa and terraces that frame the harbour and the sea beyond.
Capacity
The hotel hosts up to around 140 guests for an outdoor celebration and up to around 100 indoors, while the main terrace seats up to around 80 with an open view of the harbour. That spread suits an intimate gathering or a larger party that takes over the terraces. Confirm the exact seated figure for your chosen layout with the venue.
The ceremony spaces
Couples marry on the sea facing terraces above the harbour, with the Red Salon and interior rooms available for dinner and dancing. Music is permitted on the terrace until just before midnight, after which the celebration moves inside to the Red Salon into the early hours. The hotel asks for a minimum privatisation of three nights to prepare and host the wedding.
What it costs
As an indicative 2026 guide the setup fee starts from around 4,000 euros, with food and drink charged on top at roughly 300 euros per person, so a full celebration scales with your guest count and how much you produce. Treat every figure as indicative and confirm the current package directly with the venue.
