Hotels in Montenegro: where they are and which have their own page

Montenegro isn’t a country with a chain hotel on every corner. Hotels cluster in a handful of coastal areas, and outside them private apartments and houses rule, which in 2024 actually welcomed more visitors than hotels, according to MONSTAT. This page pulls together the city guides and the named hotels with their own page, so you can go straight to what you need.

The Budva Riviera, the biggest choice

The Budva tourist board lists 67 hotels in the municipality, with ten five-star, twenty-five four-star, fifteen three-star, thirteen two-star, three one-star and one unclassified. That’s where nearly all the country’s big resorts are, especially in Bečići, the long beach beyond Cape Zavala. The beach is roughly two kilometres long, and four of the hotels with their own page in this guide stand along it, from the Splendid to the Eurostars Queen of Montenegro at the Rafailovići end. In 2024 the municipality as a whole recorded 848,515 arrivals, more than any other in the country. I go through them area by area, from the old town to Petrovac, in hotels in Budva.

The Bay of Kotor and Tivat

To me the Bay of Kotor is the loveliest place in the country to stay, if not the cheapest. Heritage Grand Perast, Hyatt Regency Kotor Bay, Regent Porto Montenegro and Hotel Palma all have their own pages, and the full range is in hotels in Kotor and hotels in Tivat.

Herceg Novi and the south

At the mouth of the bay, Herceg Novi and its coast have Iberostar Waves, One&Only Portonovi and Palmon Bay, each with its own page, and the rest in hotels in Herceg Novi. At the other end of the coast, Ulcinj’s official list has fifteen hotels from two to four stars, none of them five-star, with Azul Beach Resort on Velika plaža; they’re laid out by area in hotels in Ulcinj.

Podgorica and the mountains

The capital has international chain hotels, according to the national tourist board, and makes a practical base for the airport and Lake Skadar; I cover it in hotels in Podgorica. In the mountains, the same site lists mountain hotels, lodges, bungalows and katuns in Durmitor, Bjelasica and Prokletije.

Before you book

Your hotel handles the compulsory registration within the first 24 hours. The tourist tax usually comes on top, and some hotels add a local charge and insurance per person per day, as Montenegro Beach Resort did in its autumn 2026 offer, at €1.50 per adult per day, €1 for ages 12 to 17 and €0.50 for younger children. Always ask what the price includes before paying. The star ratings in these guides come from the tourist boards’ lists or the hotels’ own websites; I haven’t consulted the Ministry of Tourism’s classification.
