Hotel Libertas Kotor
Tucked away on the calmer side of the Bay of Kotor in Prcanj, the Hotel Libertas sits right on the waterfront and is housed in a chic 18th-century stone house. The 4-star hotel is named after the largest sailing ship of the former Prcanj Fleet, the Libertas, which is also exhibited in the main dining room as a miniature model.
The nautical theme continues throughout the building: all rooms are named after other Venetian-era sailboats that were once docked here. Much loved by travelers who are looking for an authentic retreat, the Libertas offers a touch of discreet luxury, cordial service, and striking sea views towards Dobrota.
The hotel is easily recognizable by its lime green window shutters, a color it adopted in 2018 when it welcomed its first guests, after having undergone a full renovation that lasted several years, and instantly took its position amongst the best hotels in Kotor. This pretty boutique inn features just 11 individually appointed rooms that combine exposed stone walls with handpicked furnishings and wall decor.
Bay of Kotor
The Bay of Kotor is a 105-kilometer-long inlet of the Adriatic, dotted with some of Montenegro’s most charming coastal towns villages such as Prcanj and Perast.
Best Hotels in Kotor
Some of the best hotels in Kotor are little gems tucked away from the well-beaten tracks, just steps away from the Adriatic such as Hotel Libertas.
The Hotel Location
The hotel is situated on the southern edge of Prcanj right at the waterfront, and just a 45-minute walk (10-minute drive) along the bay from Kotor’s Old Town, and yet a tranquil retreat from touristy crowds. A nearby bus stop serves Kotor (2.5 miles/4 kilometers) and Tivat (8 miles/13 kilometers). It is 10 kilometers from Tivat Airport, and there is free parking for hotel guests – a rarity in Kotor.
Kotor Old Town
Meander through charming cobbled lanes and soak up the vibe in Kotor’s Old Town. Discover unique restaurants, museums, and small shops.
Lovely Tivat
Tivat is appealing year round with an abundance of new trendy restaurants, luxury boutiques, and waterfront cafes in the marina, perfect for people-watching.
Unwind and Indulge
True to its motto, ‘enjoy your stay and we will take care of the rest’, Hotel Libertas provides the sort of personalized service that only a small boutique retreat can achieve – expect a warm welcome, individual suggestions on activities and excursions, and to be treated more as a close friend than a patron.
From the cozy outdoor swimming pool deck, planted with fragrant rosemary and potted palms, stone steps lead down to a private beach and swimming area, with comfortable sun loungers, parasols, easy access into the smooth Adriatic, and breathtaking bay views. The hotel is a good four-star option, a fine choice for both families and couples.
Enjoy a la carte breakfast on the picturesque waterfront terrace, from the comfort of your sunbed, with boats bobbing in the glistening blue sea, making an adorable start to the day. There is a generous choice of savory classics, egg dishes, fresh fruits, and lots of freshly baked pastries to choose from. The hotel doesn’t serve lunch and dinner, but there’s a good range of restaurants nearby in town.
Prcanj
Prcanj is similar in architecture to Perast and sits on the opposing side of the bay. It is a charming yet quiet coastal escape with a rich history.
You Will Sleep Here
The eleven rooms include doubles, superiors, a junior and a deluxe suite with a second bed & bathroom.

It is a project with Mediterranean living at its heart, and those with a love for the ocean will feel right at home here.
