Heritage Grand Perast by Rixos has become an immersive resort destination offering guests a luxury experience. To mark the occasion, a signing ceremony took place at the hotel, attended by the Prime Minister of Montenegro Dr. Dritan Abazović, and Chief Business Officer of Rixos Francois Baudin. This milestone marks Accor and Rixos’ first hotel in the country.

Following the restoration and renovation of the palace, the present hotel is composed of four buildings — Smekja, Jadran, Grado and Teodo — offering 130 rooms, including eight duplex rooms, a royal suite and royal duplex suite.

Heritage Grand Perast is now home to a diverse range of restaurants and bars, including Panoramic, a restaurant located on the first floor of Smekja Palace; Piazza, a restaurant serving a range of á la carte dishes; and three seafront terraces including Riva, situated next to the outdoor swimming pool. The hotel offers a spa with a 60-foot indoor heated swimming pool, a hammam sauna and ice fountain, and a private beach dock serving hotel guests cocktails and snacks.

The former palace is one of 16 preserved palaces in Perast, a picturesque coastal town on Bay of Kotor. The hotel is surrounded by breathtaking views of mountains and crystal-clear waters, a prime location on the shore of the Adriatic Sea. Its Baroque architecture is a tribute to the culture and history of the idyllic location from which it is named.

Heritage Grand Perast by Rixos offers an immeasurably rich heritage thanks to the ambience of the modern-age Republic of Venice and is ideal for travelers looking for a luxurious and historic stay in Montenegro, featuring traditional décor and elegant furnishings complementing the town’s historic architecture.

Additionally, the hotel’s location in Perast allows guests to easily explore the town’s rich cultural heritage, including its well-preserved Baroque-style buildings and historic churches. The hotel’s panoramic terrace is a popular choice for events, as it offers stunning views of the bay and the surrounding landscape.

Review: Sushi by Scratch at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley

Husband-and-wife team Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee made their mark by reinventing the term “hidden gem” through their surprising and intentional collection of destination restaurants. While they launched the original Scratch Kitchen in 2013, an expired lease prompted them to relocate to an unassuming strip mall in suburban Encino in 2015 and rename it Scratch Bar & Kitchen. Even at a time when the San Fernando Valley was not known for innovative 5-star dining, the Lees’ concepts gathered such a strong buzz that discerning diners cheerfully followed them “over the hill.”
