Hotel Princess - Beach & Conference Resort in Bar

Hotel Princess is a beach and conference resort in Bar, set in one of the most attractive parts of the town beside the promenade and seafront, surrounded by greenery, sports facilities, and a museum housed in the former royal palace complex. The name honours the daughters of Montenegrin King Nikola, who spent time here. This particular listing is a one-bedroom unit for two guests, with one bathroom and one bed, making it a straightforward choice for couples or solo travellers. Rooms across the resort's 135 units include a mini-bar, air conditioning, satellite and cable TV, a safe, room service, and a private terrace overlooking the sea, park, or mountains. Guests can use the resort's rocky-sandy beach with water sports equipment and beach bar, indoor and outdoor pools, a wellness and spa centre with sauna, Turkish bath and hydro-massage, three beauty salons, a fitness centre, restaurant, and lobby bar. Three conference halls seat 25–150.

About the area

This is Bar at its most open: the seafront edge of town, where the promenade, the park and the beach all run together. On one side stands the former royal residence of King Nikola, now the town museum, its gardens full of palms, magnolia and trees carried back by nineteenth-century ships; on the other, sports courts and green space give the shoreline an unusual amount of breathing room for a working port city. Evenings belong to the korzo — the whole town walking the waterfront slowly, ice creams in hand, until the light goes.

The beach along this stretch is shingle and stone, with the horizon wide open towards Italy, and the sea deep enough close in for proper swimming. Within a few minutes you have the marina, the port where the overnight ferry sails for Bari, and the railway station for the spectacular climb inland through tunnels and viaducts towards Podgorica. Bar's food is worth attention — olive oil from the groves behind town, fish from the harbour, and the Sunday market with produce off the Skadar Lake plain. Stari Bar, the ruined city on its hillside about four kilometres inland, makes the natural half-day trip, ideally in the cooler hours.
