Located along the steep southern slopes of Lustica, Montenegro, the hotel is a key part of a much larger development aimed at creating a resort town experience. Each guestroom is positioned to have a private, yet unique view of the sea. The design aims to blend the best of the local vernacular and heritage of Lustica by carefully melding in the contemporary. The arrival court is a thoughtful reminder of the local town square, which opens into a contemporary lobby overlooking the sea. A unique lobby bar sits above the entry lobby and is directed to provide views of dramatic mountains to the east. The multi-tiered terrace approach was developed to minimize the impact of cut and fill impacts to the site. Guest amenities were located at key points along a continuous herb lined pedestrian path. The guest experiences range from a day at the spa and pool, cooking classes or a walk along the cliff’s edge to the beach below.
