Hotels in Kolašin, from the town centre to the katuns

Finding a bed in Kolašin is easier than in almost any other northern town, simply because there’s more choice. MONSTAT counted 139,418 overnight stays in the municipality in 2024, and the Kolašin tourist board notes that most of the accommodation is in the town itself. The slopes are 12 km away and new hotels are going up there, but for now the town is the base. I’d choose by what you plan to do rather than by star rating.

The centre, for train travellers and car-free skiers

Central Kolašin is compact and walkable. The railway station, the restaurants and the stop for the daily ski bus, which the national tourist board says leaves from the centre, are all here. Hotels in this part of town are mostly family-run and mid-sized. The Čile is on a quiet street two minutes’ walk from the main square, according to its official listing, and the three-star Brileje has been trading in the centre for more than 30 years.

If you’re skiing in Kolašin without a car, this is the practical choice, because everything is on hand when you get back from the slopes. Pansion Kolašin has a restaurant serving Montenegrin food, and Dream House has 15 units across doubles, triples and suites.

The spa resorts

Kolašin has two large spa hotels that work as destinations in their own right. Wulfenia is a five-star with rooms and suites, a restaurant, a spa and meeting rooms, according to the national tourist board, and its website places it within a residential complex a few minutes from the centre and the ski areas. Its official listing gives two different room counts, 105 in the description and 42 in the data panel, so I wouldn’t rely on either without checking.

Bianca Resort & Spa has the longer history. Its website says it stands where the Hotel Bjelasica opened in 1948, and it reopened as Bianca in 2005, among pines within walking distance of the centre. The tourist board describes 25 hectares of pine forest with views of Bjelasica. The national tourist board also names the Four Points by Sheraton among the hotels for the ski season.

Cabins, katuns and camping

Out of town, the offer takes on a different feel. The tourist board lists apartments, mountain cabins, katuns (summer shepherds’ settlements, some set up for guests) and a campsite 1.8 km from the centre. Inside Biogradska Gora National Park, the parks body rents out 12 bungalows by the lake and runs the Kraljevo kolo campsite.

When to book and what to ask

The two busy seasons are winter, with skiing from December, and summer. In 2024 visitors stayed about 2.7 nights on average, so short breaks are the norm. Always ask whether the rate includes tourist tax and, if you’re skiing, whether the hotel runs a shuttle to the slopes or has a ski room. To compare with other areas, see the general guide on where to stay in Montenegro and the one on hotels in Žabljak, the other big mountain town.
