Best Hotels with Swimming Pools in Kotor (2026)

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.

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.

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.

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.
