HOTEL NAME
History & Story
The Heritage Grand Perast Hotel is a luxurious 5-star hotel in Perast, Montenegro, a historic town on the UNESCO-listed Bay of Kotor. The hotel is housed in the 18th-century Smekja Palace, originally built by a wealthy Venetian trading family during Perast’s maritime golden age. Under Venetian rule, Perast was a major naval hub, home to a prestigious naval academy and grand Baroque palaces.
A part of the hotel was once Jadran, a renowned fashion factory in the early 1990s, known for producing high-quality clothing in Montenegro. This unique blend of aristocratic heritage and industrial history adds to the hotel’s rich character.
After meticulous restoration, the hotel now offers elegant rooms, fine dining, a luxury spa, and breathtaking Adriatic views, blending history with modern luxury. Committed to cultural preservation, Heritage Grand Perast provides an exclusive experience that honors Montenegro’s Venetian legacy.
