Hanami Design Hotel sits on Svetozara Markovića in Vračar, a leafy residential district south of the old town, and it has a guest rating of 9.4 from a smaller pool of about forty reviews. It has seven room types, from Standard and Superior Doubles to a Business Suite, Royal Suite and President Suite, all with queen beds, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, memory-foam beds, Egyptian cotton sheets and smart TVs. The offer includes a free breakfast buffet, a spa with sports massage and body scrubs, coworking spaces and a restaurant, Hanami, plus a coffee shop and garden. Slavija Square is three minutes on foot and the Nikola Tesla Museum five, with the Temple of Saint Sava about thirteen. It is a good fit for visitors who want a calm base with style rather than a central address.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at Svetozara Markovića 40, a quiet square in the Vračar district. Belgrade Waterfront is about eleven minutes' walk and Knez Mihailova about sixteen, so the old town is a stroll but not a short one, and trams and buses at Slavija connect you to the rest of the city. Nikola Tesla Airport is about 20 minutes by car, with a round-trip shuttle for a fee on request.
Rooms and facilities
Expect modern rooms with premium bedding, workspaces and electric kettles, and a small spa. Valet parking is offered for a fee. Pets are not allowed. Be aware that a few guest reviews say some advertised extras, such as a jacuzzi, a courtyard garden or the vineyard, were not available, and that the restaurant sometimes serves only breakfast, so confirm what is operating when you book.
Who it suits
Couples and business travellers who prefer a design hotel in a calm, residential area, and visitors who plan to see the Tesla Museum and Saint Sava first. It is less suited to travellers who want to walk to Knez Mihailova at night or who need a full-service restaurant on site. Look at the room size before you book, since a few guests found rooms smaller than described, and ask for a quieter side if you are a light sleeper.
Around the hotel
Slavija Square is a major transport hub, with trams, buses and taxis, so the rest of the city is easy to reach. Kalenić Market, the Temple of Saint Sava and the Nikola Tesla Museum are all within walking distance, and the neighbouring streets have grills, pizzerias and cafes at ordinary local prices. If you want a long evening in the old town, plan a taxi back, which is quick and inexpensive after dark.
