Old Town

Palazzo Drusko

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.

La Citadelle Hotel

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.

About This Guide

The view from above changes everything. Kotor's best rooftop hotels don't just offer a room with a view — they offer entire elevated experiences. Rooftop bars where the city's skyline becomes your backdrop, infinity pools that seem to merge with the horizon, and open-air restaurants where every table has a panorama. La Citadelle Hotel boasts what many consider the finest rooftop panorama in Kotor, with 360-degree views and a cocktail programme curated by an award-winning mixologist. Palata Venezia Hotel features a stunning infinity pool that's become one of the most photographed hotel features in the city. We've evaluated not just the views but the complete rooftop experience — quality of food and drinks, atmosphere, seating comfort, and whether the space feels genuinely special or merely elevated.

Insider Tips

1
Time your rooftop visit for golden hour — typically 1-2 hours before sunset.
2
Make dinner reservations for rooftop restaurants well in advance, especially on weekends.
3
Pack a light layer — rooftop temperatures can drop significantly after sunset.
4
Request a west-facing room for in-room sunset views as well.
