About This Guide
Kotor has embraced pet-friendly travel with open arms, and these hotels lead the pack. Whether you're traveling with a Great Dane or a Chihuahua, each property on our list has been vetted for genuine pet welcome — not just a grudging 'pets allowed' policy, but thoughtful amenities that make your companion feel as pampered as you. Our top pick, La Citadelle Hotel, stands out for its dedicated pet concierge service and custom pet beds. Hotel Marija offers a particularly impressive pet menu, while Hippocampus Hotel provides a private garden area perfect for morning walks. When choosing a pet-friendly hotel in Kotor, location matters as much as pet policy. We've prioritised properties near parks, walking trails, and pet-friendly restaurants so you and your companion can explore together without constant taxi rides back to the hotel.

Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
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.
Dobrota
A family-run gem on the Dobrota waterfront — 12 rooms and a breakfast terrace built out over the bay on stone pillars, where you eat beside moored wooden fishing boats and watch the Venetian towers of the Old Town reflected in perfect morning light. The warmth of the hospitality here rivals the beauty of the setting.
Old Town
Named for the seahorse — emblem of ancient Kotor — this small, characterful hotel within the Old Town walls offers rooms of genuine personality, a passionate owner who knows every corner of the bay, and the kind of intimate hospitality that only a truly independent boutique hotel can provide. An excellent base for island excursions and hikes to the St John's Fortress.
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
A charming, well-run boutique hotel in the heart of the Old Town whose stone-walled rooms, warm service, and excellent location between the city gates and the cathedral make it one of Kotor's best-value proposals. The small breakfast terrace — squeezed between medieval walls — is one of the most atmospheric morning dining spots on the Adriatic.
Old Town
A beautifully restored medieval townhouse just inside the Sea Gate, Hotel Astoria offers eight rooms of quiet refinement — exposed Venetian stonework, four-poster beds, and rain showers installed with architectural sensitivity in converted attic spaces. The intimate scale means service is genuinely attentive in a way that larger Old Town properties cannot match.
