Hotel Vardar has the most central address in Kotor: the Square of Arms, the main square just inside the Sea Gate, facing the clock tower. It is a four-star hotel with 24 rooms, 18 standard doubles and six larger junior rooms, and it makes an easy, comfortable base for a first visit. There is a small wellness area with a sauna and Turkish bath, a compact gym, and a terrace on the square serving selected dishes, cocktails and drinks. Guests also get a discount at the hotel’s partner Galion restaurant, about ten minutes’ walk away, with a terrace looking towards the city walls and the sea. Everything in the Old Town, from the cathedral to the walls entrance, is within a few minutes on foot.
Living in it: you are on the doorstep of every Old Town sight and the waterfront, with taxis and buses just outside the Sea Gate, which makes it practical for day trips to Perast, Budva and Lovćen.
Trade-offs: the square is the busiest spot in town, with cruise crowds by day and music some evenings, so ask for a quieter room if you are a light sleeper. Parking must be arranged outside the walls.
