MICE

Mirroring other well-known Mediterranean port towns such as Naples or Porto, Split is often seen only as a gateway to the islands or as the end of a ferry line from Italy. Despite this, Croatia's second largest city is discarding its port image and forging its own reputation as an exciting city with its own attractions and history going back over two millennium. The centre of the tourist trail begins in the heart of the city, where the Roman Emperor Diocletian established his summer palace some 1700 years ago. The brilliantly preserved underground Catacombs, used as prisons during medieval times, today are home to an impressive museum and gallery as well as many traditional craft stalls and designer boutiques. Although the Diocletian's palace is its main historical attraction, popular Riva promenade is where the action takes place. Situated just off the Diocletian's palace, separating the palace from the sea, Riva is a place to see and be seen, relax in one of the bars or cafes lining the seafront, or simply to sit and watch the world go by.

Hotel Le Méridien Lav is located in Podstrana, about 8 kilometers south of Split. Its beautiful settings features 800 meters of beach frontage, gardens landscaped by award-winning designer Jim Nicolay, and fantastic sea views overlooking the city and the surrounding islands. Designed by acclaimed Italian designer Lorenzo Bellini, all interiors have a warm, inviting ambiance. A combination of eight restaurants and bars in the hotel and set along the Marina Promenade allow guests to experience a variety of cuisines. The hotel's Marina Promenade features shops, restaurants, bars, and cáfes, and the Yacht Marina is home to 60 yachts.
