Weddings, Rituals and Pampering at the Hotel Astoria in Montenegro
The Hotel Astoria is an architectural masterpiece of modern luxury constructed from a medieval place. Yet the conveniences and creature comforts are among the best in the world. Montenegro is a wonderful place to visit and to bring your dreams.
One of the dreams of women on every curve on this planet is to be married in a medieval palace in a city which reeks of history. Flowing gowns made of velvets, brocades and silk – all are part of the weddings and rituals which occur at the fabulous Hotel Astoria in Kotor, Montenegro and which bring those types of dreams to life.
First, let’s get a sense of the place and terrain: Montenegro is a small but vibrant country located on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. Only a short distance from the coast, the landscape rises into mountains, with strong jutting cliffs and steeply sloped valleys. The blue of the Adriatic can be seen in glimpses as the roads wind higher, but high lakes and surging rivers replace that blue with a darker set of hues. That variety of landscape is Montenegro.
But while still in the lowlands, near the beaches, the City of Kotor can be found — the site of the Hotel Astoria. Kotor is a UNESCO protected town, renowned for the Venetian rampart walls, and merger of Christian, Turkish, Roman, and Greek influences over the history of more than three thousand years. As a World Heritage Site, Kotor bears the listing “Natural and Culturo-Historical Region of Kotor.” As a Mediterranean port Kotor has been active since well before the time of Christ. The Bay of Kotor is often referred to as the most southern Fjord of Europe. The UNESCO protection extends to the overhanging limestone cliffs of Lovcen and Orjen from modern influences so that the ‘Fjord’ and its entrance into the Adriatic are safeguarded.
The Hotel Astoria in Kotor, Montenegro has been built from one of the medieval palaces of a noble family in Kotor. The structure has been occupied continuously since the 14th century when it was constructed in the gothic style. Subsequent owners (and conquerors) have modernized and fortified it, however throughout its existence this fortress has remained a palace overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Among its many special features is its own private beach. Now, as a luxury hotel, it offers guest services which rival those of the most modern facilities, but Astoria retains the ambiance of its eminent history. The interior of the hotel is decorated in warm tones and strong materials. Wood and stone remain most of the interior walls and floors, with accessories giving flight to fancy. What if I was the princess being courted in this castle? What if I were the Knight fighting within the battlements to rescue the lady? Can I have a ceremony which provides more elegance or historic ritual anywhere in the world? Yes, to our dreams. No, it could not be more dramatic or imposing anywhere else. Any dream can come to life in the surroundings as breathtaking as these in Montenegro. The Hotel Astoria can be the site of your rituals, the location of your creative impulses, the luxurious place to be pampered. All of these and more and occur at the Hotel Astoria in Kotor, Montenegro.
