Marija Hotel Montenegro

Some have called it the southern-most fjord in Europe, but it is a ria, a submerged river canyon and together with the nearly overhanging limestone cliffs of Orjen and Lovćen, Kotor and its surrounding area form an impressive and picturesque Mediterranean landscape. Anyone looking for a hub from which to explore it shouldn't overlook this cosy hotel set in a traditional stone building, within the Unesco heritage-accredited city walls. It stands at just 100 metres away from the waterfront and the marina, and its guests will be within a 10-minute walk from the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon and the many bars and restaurants of the lively city centre. Now, those who prefer a quieter ambience will be in the perfect place at the onsite restaurant, there they can treat themselves to home-like dishes and special wines that can rarely be found anywhere else.
