guestroom and spa capacity to the hotel. Two two-bedroom penthouses top the central section of the fifth floor, and also have views down to the tranquil water garden outside and across to the Boka. All the guestrooms and apartments have generously sized balconies. Guestrooms are typically 40-45m2


, excluding


outdoor terraces. The retail street-facing elevation is set back behind planting and a water sculpture allowing easy access by car to both the main and the VIP entrances. Promenading along the arcade, guests will find the indoor/outdoor spaces of a patisserie café with its own bakery and the all-day-dining restaurant, the main lobby and a library. Sunken terraces surrounded by water channels provide secluded arbours for al fresco eating and drinking. Inside, the double-height atrium includes a grand café style tea lounge and leads out onto the water


garden with its reflection pool. A feature of the garden is a submerged stone path leading to an island in the middle of the pool. When the island is required, the surrounding water level is lowered, exposing the path and providing a truly exclusive area for private dining. A grand staircase leads to the first floor, on which the main banqueting hall extends the length of the hotel between the two wings. This floor also has a green roof that provides a private garden for guests. Again, views from the banqueting space over the water garden and towards the marina and sea are superb, with the extra twist of the hotel’s main, outdoor pool directly outside its glazed doors. Also on the first floor, the Regent Spa includes an indoor pool and the Regent Yacht Club with a members area comprising a lounge and several private rooms. The interior design of both Regent


Porto Montenegro and the residences, by Pisano Atelier, will be sophisticated and contemporary with regional Montenegrin references. The construction of the hotel will coincide with the expansion of the marina from 185 to 370 berths, 50 or more of which will be for yachts over 45 metres, and a new refit and maintenance facility for superyachts, as well as the continuing development of apartments, boutiques and restaurants. “The four years since we began to masterplan Porto Montenegro, transforming a decommissioned naval base into a world- class destination, have been engrossing and enormously rewarding,” says Ross Blunt, Associate Director of ReardonSmith Architects. “This is a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ project. The new Regent Porto Montenegro will undoubtedly be the outstanding hotel along this part of the Adriatic coast.”
