The Five Finest Hotels in Montenegro
Also known as the pearl of the Mediterranean, Montenegro is unique in several ways. Located south of the Adriatic, it is the only place you can find such a diverse range of natural wealth, gorgeous mountains, fast rivers, clear lakes, mild beaches, and beauty in a compact area like this. You get to wake up to the breathtaking Adriatic coast in the morning, have lunch along the banks of Skadar Lake, and then finish your day with an evening stroll in the Montenegrin Mountains. Of course, you will need a place to stay first.
Here are five of the finest hotels in Montenegro:
Regent Porto Montenegro
Situated inside the Porto Montenegro complex, this luxury five star hotel centers a 450 berth super yacht marina, complete with yachting outlets, boutiques, and excellent cafes. It lies in the Kotor Bay on the verge of Tivat, 4 miles away from UNESCO-listed Old Town. The closest airports are Podgorica (56 miles), Dubrovnik (29 miles), and Tivat (3 miles). The building itself is grand and refined, and was designed by Tino Zeryudachi of MHZ, who has also worked for Mick Jagger.
Warm and professional staff offer highly personalized services, while the Regent Spa provides massages as well as luscious body and face beauty treatments. In addition, there is a gym, an outdoor pool overlooking the marina on the first floor terrace, and a black indoor sea view pool complete with a hot tub. There are 35 suites & residences and 51 double rooms, all with balconies. The décor makes you feel like you are on a luxury yacht, utilizing cream & beige, blue fabrics, wood, and a linen canopy over the beds. The hotel also provides tea making facilities and an espresso machine.
The Dining Room restaurant sits over a wide space equipped with sweeping red curtains, cornices, and high ceilings, and comes with extra outdoor tables in the grand Italian Garden.
