Kotor Hotels

It doesn’t matter whether mountainous vistas or glistening coastlines are your thing, you get them both when you book one of the best hotels in Kotor. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this quaint town is characterized by its cobblestone streets and ancient walls. If you want to chill on the beach, it’s never more than a few minutes’ walk away. But if you prefer a more adventurous break, you can hike to the San Giovanni Fortress, which is just a few miles away.

Hotel Monte Cristo

When it comes to rustic charm and quintessential Montenegrin character, there’s just no beating the Hotel Monte Cristo. This four-star haven was frozen in time to protect the building’s rich architectural charm. Yet step inside, and the fixtures and fittings are pristine. This 13th-century hotel is located on the Maritime Museum Square in the heart of Kotor and offers an immersive, authentic experience more modern hotels in Montenegro can’t live with.

A huge amount of effort has gone into preserving the character of the rooms in the Hotel Monte Cristo, which is why it’s easily one of the best hotels in Kotor. That said, each room features an HD TV, satellite channels, a minibar, and free high-speed internet access. There’s also air conditioning, which isn’t always guaranteed in a hotel of this age.

One of the highlights of staying here is the daily breakfast, which guests can enjoy outdoors on the terrace – surrounded by Medieval magnificence. This is also a great base if you plan to take boat trips from Kotor to other towns and ports on the Adriatic coast. Kotor Marina is just a short walk away.

Top Tip: Ask for a room with a view of the courtyard – you won’t be disappointed.

Hotel Forza Terra

Five-star luxury sometimes comes in small packages. That’s definitely true of Hotel Forza Terra, which is a gorgeous little boutique hotel and spa on one of the most picturesque streets in Kotor.

Every room features its own unique style and decor. So, you could stay in this hotel multiple times and never get the same experience twice. Everything about this designer accommodation says ‘decadence’ and ‘indulgence’ – from the 24/7 concierge service to the impeccably designed reception area.

Whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee or sitting down to a sumptuous dinner, you’re always promised a premium dining experience at Forza Terra. La Piazza offers everything from classic Italian coffee to original cocktails. For a selection of Asian and Mediterranean culinary treats, book a table at La Bistecca. There’s even an on-site winery to complete what has to be one of the best hotel experiences in Montenegro.

Top Tip: Don’t stay here without a visit to one of the few authentic Roman baths in Montenegro.

Hotel Libertas

You’re looking for something a little special that involves all the trappings of luxury and decadence. What do you do? You book a room at Hotel Libertas Prčanj area. One of the prettiest boutique hotels in Montenegro, this 18th-century architectural gem offers the perfect combination of five-star service and four-star prices.

Made completely from stone, you won’t find a more characterful hotel in Kotor. As well as pristine interiors and designer furniture at every turn, guests can look forward to a heated outdoor pool, a private beach area, and mountainous landscapes. Every room offers all the amenities you’d expect from a top European hotel, but we recommend the Junior Suite with Sea View, which offers picture-postcard views of the Adriatic.

Two on-site restaurants, an extensive daily breakfast, and free guest parking round off one of the best hotel experiences in the country.

Top Tip: Grab a taxi and explore the Old Town district, which is only four kilometers away. If you’re feeling adventurous, however, you can rent a bicycle just outside the hotel and explore the area on two wheels.

HUMA Kotor Bay Hotel and Villas

The HUMA Kotor Bay Hotel and Villas is one of the best hotels in Montenegro for people who want to step out of their room and almost straight into the ocean. The hotel’s private beach is just a few short steps from reception. But if you don’t fancy sand on your feet, there are two on-site swimming pools and a spa/wellness center to enjoy. The rooms are modern and equipped with all the facilities you’d expect from a four-star hotel.

There are three on-site restaurants to choose from, as well as some relaxing bars. But if you want to sample a wider range of local delicacies, Kotor Old Town is just 3 km away. If you do decide to stay on-site to eat, you have three a la carte restaurants and a buffet to choose from. While there are many classic Mediterranean dishes to sample, guests can also enjoy one of Montenegro’s widest selections of Japanese cuisine.

Top Tip: Head to the hotel’s infinity pool as early as you can, as loungers are in short supply!

Hotel Vardar

This is definitely one of the best hotels in Montenegro if the reviews are to be believed. Choose between a stylish double bedroom or a modern and spacious suite. Either way, you can look forward to the ultimate in comfort and relaxation. It’s also a great place to get some work done, thanks to reliable WiFi and spacious work areas.

The building is the real star of the show here. Hotel Vardar is an authentic Montenegrin structure that’s located in the heart of Kotor Old Town. But step inside, and you’ll find modern fixtures and fittings, a restaurant, a fitness center, and a concierge-style front desk that’s staffed 24 hours a day.
