Where to stay
Baroque palaces converted into hotels. Almost every room in Perast looks directly onto the bay and the two islands. The problem is not finding somewhere beautiful to stay. The problem is leaving.
The finest hotel in Perast — an 18th-century Venetian palace right on the waterfront, restored with spa, indoor pool, sauna, hammam, outdoor pool, and a beach club area. Spacious suites in historic stone buildings, many with private balconies looking directly across the bay to the islets of St George and Our Lady of the Rocks. Multiple dining options including a panoramic breakfast terrace and the Riva Terrace restaurant — the most elegant place to eat in Perast — on the waterfront below the palace. The hotel sends a golf cart to collect guests from the car park. Book early; it is the most sought-after address on the bay.
Spread across several historic Baroque buildings along Perast’s waterfront — some with private entrances, internal courtyards, or outdoor jacuzzi options. Thick stone walls, timber beams, and modern comforts throughout. The Conte Restaurant and wine bar, attached to the hotel, is one of the most celebrated in the town and specialises in Montenegrin and Mediterranean cuisine using local ingredients. The combination of the architecture, the on-site restaurant, and the bay views makes this the most characterful place to stay in Perast.
A smaller boutique hotel on the Perast waterfront — what it lacks in scale it more than compensates with bespoke luxury and personal service. Well-appointed rooms with bay views, attentive staff, and a setting that makes it one of the most sought-after addresses for couples and honeymooners. The hotel’s compact size means the service-to-guest ratio is high and the experience genuinely feels private in a way that the larger palace hotels cannot quite replicate.
The only hotel in Perast that sits above the town rather than on it — a 5-star boutique property on the hillside with panoramic views over the entire Bay of Kotor, the two islands, and the town below. The rooms and suites have modern amenities and the kind of uninterrupted view that the waterfront hotels, as beautiful as they are, cannot offer at this scale. A quiet, elevated alternative for those who want to look down at Perast rather than be in the middle of it.
A boutique hotel inside an 18th-century Venetian palace on the waterfront — the classic Perast experience distilled into a smaller, more personal format. Original stone walls and wooden beams alongside contemporary design; well-appointed rooms overlooking the bay. A good choice for those who want the palace aesthetic without the scale of Heritage Grand, and who prefer a more independently run property.
All waterfront hotels in Perast are reachable only on foot from the parking area at the edge of town. Confirm arrival time with your hotel and they will send a golf cart. Those arriving by bus from Kotor are dropped at the edge of the village and have a five-minute flat walk to most properties.
