A delightful destination and a matchless base camp...

The Balkans experienced countless upheavals and conflicts during the 20th century, which largely explains why they are so little known. Some countries, like Montenegro, are an intriguing mixing-pot of extremely ancient historic and cultural roots and very recent administrative systems. This makes them most appealing, all the more so as they are now highly accessible.

The brand-new Best Western Premier Hotel Montenegro was inaugurated on September 5th 2006, just a few weeks after the official proclamation of the birth of the independent state of Montenegro. It is generally said of good hotels that they are located in town or city centres. In this case, the hotel is not only in the heart of Podgorica, but in the heart of the country, which given the size and rich heritage of Montenegro, is a fantastic asset.

Montenegro is home to some of the world's most spectacular and most generous natural landscapes. This young nation is so conscious of this asset that it was the first in the world to include the protection of the environment in its constitution. Less than an hour's drive from the Best Western Premier Hotel Montenegro are a whole host of natural wonders such as Kotor fjord (the southernmost fjord in the world), the gorges of the River Tara (second largest canyon in the world) and Lake Skadar. The beaches of the Adriatic and the ski resorts of the Dinaric Alps are also close enough for you to be able to go skiing and swimming in the same summer's day!

One of the hotel's highlights is its terrace, where, shaded by huge parasols, you can relax in the comfort of armchairs and, basking in the mild Mediterranean climate, savour the scent of the nearby countryside, even though you're in the heart of the capital. In the distance, you can see the vineyards that surround the city and which produce Vranac, a full-bodied, pleasant red wine of renown that is ideal with tasty red meat. The hotel's excellent restaurant offers a fine selection of the region's rich gastronomic traditions and wines in a mouth-watering blend of Mediterranean and regional alpine influences.

Due to its youth, the hotel offers an exemplary quality of equipment in a setting devoid of any trace of ageing. The guestrooms, just as the rest of the hotel, are all generously proportioned and furnished and fitted with high-quality materials, in particular the wood and marble in which the region is particularly rich.

The Best Western Premier Hotel Montenegro, perhaps the best hotel in the country, is an ideal destination to relax and resource the batteries of weary urbanites. It also, and above all, makes an ideal base camp for excursions to the region's countless natural and historic wonders.
