Hotel Mogren in Budva

Hotel Mogren is a 4-star hotel set in one of Budva's most authentic buildings, originally constructed in 1934 and since renovated while keeping its standing as an icon of the city. It sits directly opposite the ancient stone fortress walls of Budva's Old Town, raised during Venetian rule, and takes its name from nearby Mogren Beach. This room sleeps 2 guests, with 1 bedroom, 1 bed and 1 bathroom — a straightforward fit for couples or a pair of friends wanting to be within walking distance of the Old Town, the main square and the marina. Inside, a renovated reception opens onto a spacious, richly decorated lobby, and a central atrium planted with greenery holds a fountain and bistro tables for dining and wine tasting. The hotel's two terraces seat 800 in total and operate as the City Tavern, with a restaurant and a bakery serving homemade pastries.

About the area

Few addresses in Budva are as central as the square outside the Old Town's main gate, and this is one of them. The Venetian walls stand across the way and the marina lies on the other side, so the day's soundtrack is halyards, gulls and the shuffle of people crossing the paving. This is where the town gathers: the Song of the Mediterranean festival, the Fish Festival, carnival and New Year all happen on these few hundred square metres.

Through the gate, the Old Town is a compact grid of stone lanes with three churches sharing a single square at its seaward end and the Citadela above them, its ramparts open for the view down the coast. Ričardova glava, a small pebble beach, sits directly under the walls, and a cliff path continues to the two coves of Mogren, the beach this hotel takes its name from. In the other direction the promenade runs the length of Slovenska plaža. Mornings are for swimming before the crowd, evenings for a terrace table and the boats coming back in.
