Hyatt is putting the off-the-beaten-track nation of Montenegro firmly on the map.

The Chicago-headquartered hotel chain has opened the glorious new Hyatt Regency Kotor Bay Resort in the Balkan state of Montenegro.

“The Balkan region serves as a driving force for the rapid growth of the hospitality industry, and our Hyatt Regency brand is strategically positioned to enter emerging markets,” said Takuya Aoyama, Vice President of Development for Hyatt.

Here’s what you can expect from a stay at Hyatt’s hottest new hotel.

Located on Kotor Bay — a UNESCO World Heritage site on Montenegro’s captivating coastline — the painstakingly-renovated property promises to be a hit with both domestic and international travelers alike.

“The property draws inspiration from the surrounding area to offer guests, locals and World of Hyatt members a stay centered around relaxation and tranquility, creating the ultimate stress-free experience,” said Saša Saveljić, Executive Director of Krolbay d.o.o Podgorica — the property’s ownership group and operator.

When the final stages of the hotel are complete, the 205 rooms with their carefully-crafted contemporary design will provide guests with a modern, upscale retreat just a stone’s throw away from the magic of the preserved old town of Kotor.
