Old Town
An intimate luxury boutique hotel installed within a 15th-century Venetian palace inside Kotor's Old Town walls — nine rooms and suites of restrained elegance, stone arches, and hand-embroidered linens sourced from Kotor's last traditional weavers. The private courtyard garden, shaded by figs and pomegranates, is the finest al fresco breakfast setting in Montenegro.
Old Town
A centuries-old Venetian palace transformed into Kotor's most atmospheric accommodation — the original arched loggia, stone portal, and inner atrium preserved as the centrepiece of a carefully considered boutique hotel. Rooms facing the inner courtyard offer quiet and character; bay-facing rooms on upper floors deliver views that justify every extra Euro of the rate.
Old Town
Taking its name from Kotor's Venetian designation — Cattaro — this sophisticated boutique hotel within the walls marries medieval stonework with warm contemporary design in a small collection of uniquely configured rooms and suites. The rooftop terrace, looking down into the maze of tiled rooftops and across to the bay, is where guests inevitably spend their evenings regardless of what else the Old Town has to offer.
Dobrota
The finest address on the Bay of Kotor outside the Old Town walls — an 18th-century baroque palace on the Dobrota waterfront, its terrace restaurant stretching to the water's edge and its rooms opening directly onto bay views of staggering beauty. The restaurant is one of Montenegro's finest, and the combination of historic architecture, sea-level position, and exceptional food and service makes Forza Mare genuinely world-class.
Old Town
Housed in a 16th-century patrician's residence on the Square of Arms — Kotor's main square — the Conte is the Old Town's most central luxury address. The rooms are handsomely furnished in a dignified neo-classical style; the restaurant on the square terrace is the best people-watching perch in the entire Bay of Kotor.
Old Town
La Citadelle takes the most dramatic position available within Kotor's walls — pressed against the base of the great medieval fortifications, its rooftop bar literally cantilevered over ancient battlements. The design is contemporary and confident; the standard of comfort surpasses many properties charging significantly more.
