There's one way Game of Thrones fans can tide themselves over till the final season of the show returns in 2019: with a trip to the seaside city of Dubrovnik, Croatia, where many of the show's remaining scenes were filmed. But if viewers want to make their trip particularly authentic, they should opt to stay where most of the cast holed up during filming—in the ocean view accommodations at the famous Hotel Excelsior, part of the Adriatic Luxury Hotels collection.

The property arguably has the best views of both the Adriatic and Old Town, and it has been a piece of the city's history for 104 years, once as a royal villa. In fact, the building exterior is protected by UNESCO, so the original structure remains intact. Inside, 19 luxury suites across the hotel's original section—Villa Odak—and the more modern part—the Tower—housed cast members, including Emilia Clarke and Kit Harrington, between filming. Created by local artists and designers, the hotel's color scheme comprises understated earth tones, like walnut and gray, with touches of blue and green, mirroring the iconic surrounding of Dubrovnik.

The newer Tower section features similar relaxing neutral textiles with hints of warm gray. Splashes of bright yellow and vibrant blue hues were added to create a fresh, more modern look. And in all the ocean-view rooms, the use of reclaimed woods, sleek finishes, and expansive windows make the unobstructed panoramas of the Adriatic Sea and Old Town the best decor element.

Though other Hollywood royalty (Elizabeth Taylor) and actual royalty (Queen Elizabeth II) have stayed at Hotel Excelsior, the hotel welcomed the Game of Thrones cast following a renovation last spring in 2017. Along with the room updates, the lobby and piano bar were overhauled and now include bespoke pieces of furniture, paintings, sculptures, and digital-art pieces to create a gallery-like feel.

And for those few cast and crew members who didn't stay at Hotel Excelsior, they found lodging at equally gorgeous Villa Orsula and Villa Sheherezade. But for anyone who can't make it to Croatia before the final season of Game of Thrones, you'll just have to make do with the cover story of Emilia Clarke—or Daenerys Targaryen—from Vanity Fair this month. While the actress didn't reveal an abundance of spoilers, she did describe a handful of love scenes with her onscreen romance, Jon Snow (Kit Harrington), and that her character's final scenes were wrapped. We just happen to know that was in Dubrovnik.
