Rixos Libertas, Dubrovnik, Croatia

Originally built in the early 1970s when Croatian modernism was at its peak, Rixos Libertas is spread across a steep hillside in a succession of curving terraces, near the beautiful walled city of Dubrovnik. The hotel was damaged during the 1991-2 siege but reopened in 2007 having been restored to its former glory. Features include 254 sea-view rooms and suites, a majestic two-floor spa, two pools and the only casino in town.
