About Rixos Premium Dubrovnik
- For decades the Libertas was a social and gastronomic hub of the former Yugoslavia until heavily damaged during the 1991 to 1992 siege of Dubrovnik.

History
The Rixos Premium Dubrovnik occupies one of the city's great modernist landmarks: originally the Hotel Libertas, designed in 1968 by architect Andrija Čičin-Šain (with collaborators including Raul Goldoni) and built into the cliffside in 1971 in a dramatic terraced, 'ocean-liner' form overlooking the Adriatic. For decades the Libertas was a social and gastronomic hub of the former Yugoslavia until it was heavily damaged during the 1991–92 siege of Dubrovnik.
The Turkish Rixos group acquired the property (reported around 2004, following earlier post-war ownership by a Bulgarian corporation) and completely rebuilt it, reopening as Rixos Libertas Dubrovnik. During a thorough renovation begun in November 2019, the hotel was rebranded as Rixos Premium Dubrovnik in June 2020, elevating it to the Rixos Premium tier (now within the Accor group).
The setting
The old Hotel Libertas cliff above the Adriatic, on the Lapad side of Dubrovnik rather than inside the walls. The Rector's Palace is about two kilometres into the old town.
