Restored Venetian lazaretto
The 18th-century Venetian quarantine fortress now fronts Kotor Bay, housing guests between weathered limestone walls and a sheltered yacht marina.
“Centered around a sensitively restored 300-year-old Venetian Republic lazaretto or quarantine station with its own small chapel and covered piazzetta, the hotel has 128 rooms”
What it’s good at

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
meticulously preserved, restored, and expanded into the Lazure Hotel & Marina, a luxury hotel with a perfect seaside location and the kind of classic atmosphere a new build couldn’t hope to match.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Savina Monastery's coastal vineyards are a five-minute walk away, and Herceg Novi's terraced Old Town sits just down the coast.

The rooms
Historic wing rooms expose original limestone walls hung with Montenegrin art. Newer suites have generous balconies overlooking the water.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A sunken fire pit sits inside the beachfront infinity pool, and the heated indoor pool opens toward the marina.
The spa and gym
Gym treadmills look straight out over the water, and the spa uses Skeyndor formulas for wraps and facials.
At the table
Courtyard tables sit under black pergolas, and Rosemarine serves Mediterranean seafood on terraces facing the marina.
How it began
Venetian builders constructed the quarantine station in 1729 using white stone originally quarried for nearby Savina Monastery.
