Most of the most sought-after hotels in Kotor are not located in the Old Town itself, but all around the bay that surrounds it. This is where the highest-quality accommodation is concentrated: establishments situated along the coast, in Dobrota, Prčanj or further on towards Perast, with direct views of the water and the mountains plunging into the sea.

The charm of the bay makes all the difference. Waking up to a panoramic view of Boka Kotorska, sipping coffee on a terrace overlooking the water, or simply watching the boats glide by in the distance: it is this experience that draws travellers to these spots rather than a more traditional hotel in the city centre.

Here are the options that stand out, depending on your preferred style and budget.
