City Hotel - City Center

City Hotel, formerly Hotel Ljubović, is a business hotel in central Podgorica, set beneath Ljubović hill with direct boulevard access and a short commute to the airport. This listing is a room for 2 guests, with 1 bedroom, 1 bed and 1 private bathroom — a practical base for a couple or a pair travelling together, or for a solo business traveller who wants to be in the centre. The hotel comprises 70 rooms and 9 apartments, all with central air conditioning, cable TV, ADSL internet, a safe and a mini bar. On site you'll find an aperitif bar on the ground floor, a restaurant serving à la carte and catering for formal dinners, receptions, banquets and cocktails, plus a business centre, shop, travel agency and gym. Two conference halls — Ljubović (70 seats) and Gorica (40 seats) — and a 15-person meeting room serve work trips, and there is a 50-space car park.

About the area

Crnogorskih serdara sits at the foot of Ljubović, a wooded rise on the northern edge of central Podgorica that the city treats as its nearest patch of forest. Paths climb through pine and oak to viewpoints over the rooftops and the ring of mountains beyond, and the loop fills with runners and dog walkers at either end of the day. The street feeds straight onto the boulevard, which means the airport road and the exits toward Nikšić and the coast can be reached without crossing the congested middle of town.

Podgorica was flattened in 1944 and rebuilt broad and green, and this quarter shows it: wide avenues, plane trees, small parks, and enough café terraces to sustain the local habit of a two-hour coffee. The centre, with its squares and galleries, is about fifteen minutes on foot. East of the city the Cijevna river drops over a wide limestone ledge in a fall that runs hard through spring and dries back to bare rock by August — a short drive out, and a favourite local escape from the heat, along with the swimming holes in the Morača below the city bridges. Skadar Lake and the mountain roads north are both within an hour.
