Where You Will Sleep

The guest rooms and suites provide sleek and comfortable accommodations, underscored by modern accent walls and warm wood finishings. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open onto glass-fronted balconies, from where the best views look out onto the glimmering sea. At night, you can enjoy the magically lit waterfront homes and boats anchoring in the Bay of Kotor.

Wake up the next day refreshed and alert, being greeted by incredible coastal views and breathtaking scenery. Just as throughout the entire building, contemporary beiges and greys preside, with splashes of crimson-red and navy blue added by blankets, upholstery, and scatter cushions.

The large double beds, with ultra-plush mattresses, are exceptionally comfortable. The commodious rooms are well-equipped with up-to-date amenities, an abundance of sockets, and lots of closet space. All bathrooms come with a walk-in rain shower and are stocked with premium toiletries.

The hotel staff are friendly, hospitable, and highly professional, and the receptionists are happy to arrange day excursions and transfers. The hotel bar is on the ground floor, boasting a cozy outdoor courtyard, but the star attraction is the soul-stirring infinity pool and adjacent deck lined with slick and modern sun beds and parasols.

Should the lounging and splashing prove too much, you can retreat to an impressive rooftop jacuzzi (prior reservation required), with equally sweeping bay views and magnificent sunsets. The hotel is a fine choice, especially for couples, and is currently one of the best hotels in Kotor.
