Boutique hotels in Kotor

Kotor is a walled medieval town at the head of the Bay of Kotor, with Venetian palaces, a cathedral and a staircase of fortress walls climbing the mountain behind. Cruise ships arrive by day; evenings are quiet.

Where to stay

Hotel Cattaro is in the Old Town across three restored 18th-century buildings overlooking the main square. Hotel Forza Terra is a contemporary bay-side hotel with a spa and restaurant. Hotel Forza Mare is small and exclusive, with about ten rooms, a private beach and a seafood restaurant. Hotel Vardar has 24 rooms, a sauna and a courtyard two minutes from St Tryphon Cathedral. Astoria Hotel is a contemporary boutique with a bistro on the square, and Casa del Mare Vizura in Dobrota has an infinity pool and a panoramic restaurant.

Good to know

Climb the fortress at dawn. The Old Town can be loud on summer nights.
