CUE Podgorica

Top choice in Podgorica


The elegant rooms displaying prints of the New York skyline only emphasise how un-Podgorica-like this slick design hotel actually is. The impression starts in the 'living room lobby', where coloured-glass lamps illuminate dark grey walls, raw-concrete ceilings, leather couches and designer chairs. The hotel is housed within the swish Capital Plaza centre, alongside shops, bars and restaurants.
