Split's four-star hotels are mostly brand-new establishments and are about equally divided between those that focus on business travellers and those that focus on leisure travellers. The business-centered establishments are less centrally located in order to give maximum parking space (a big problem in Split's historic centre). The decor is modern and no-nonsense and conference facilities are well-developed.

All the four-star hotels in Split are equipped with fitness centres, non-smoking rooms and a sauna. The few five-star luxury hotels in Split have more elaborate wellness centres.
