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 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
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.
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
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.
