Stari Grad
Reopened in 2015 after a major renovation, the Metropol Palace on Bulevardul Kralja Aleksandra reclaims its mid-century grandeur with 234 rooms and suites of quietly confident luxury. The rooftop pool and terrace, elegant ballrooms, and prime position near Kalemegdan Park make it a natural choice for those seeking the full luxury Belgrade experience.
Stari Grad
The finest luxury hotel in Serbia occupies a dramatic position overlooking Republic Square, its clean-lined contemporary design a quiet statement of confidence amidst Belgrade's turbulent architectural history. The rooftop pool and bar offer unrivalled views across the city skyline; the restaurant's Serbian-Mediterranean menu is consistently among Belgrade's best. Service here operates at a standard that would impress in London or Paris.
Stari Grad
The Mama Shelter brand's Balkan debut brought its signature playful-chic design language to a building in the heart of Stari Grad — rooftop bar with Belgrade's most photogenic city views, restaurant with a raucous atmosphere and genuinely good food, and rooms that make you feel considerably cooler for having chosen them. A reliable hit with creative professionals and younger luxury travellers.
Stari Grad
Belgrade's most iconic hotel has graced Terazije Square since 1906, its Secession-style terracotta façade a defining feature of the city's skyline. The ground-floor café — where every Belgrade intellectual and politician has held court since the Austro-Hungarian era — remains the finest place in Serbia to drink coffee and watch the world go by. Rooms are comfortable if architecturally modest; the address is everything.
Stari Grad
A polished four-star property on Nemanjina Street near the main train station, Mona Plaza delivers reliable contemporary comfort, an excellent spa, and warm Serbian hospitality at a price point that represents exceptional value for a central European capital. The rooftop restaurant's views over the Sava are a bonus that guests rarely mention in advance and never forget.
Stari Grad
A sharp, design-conscious boutique hotel on Palmotićeva Street — well within walking distance of Kalemegdan and the main boulevard — Hotel In delivers clean, characterful rooms at a price point that makes it one of Belgrade's best-value propositions. The ground-floor bar has a loyal local following and an excellent wine list focused on Serbian varietals.
