The Best Hotels Near Homa Central, by the Record
-
The lobby bar lined with Danish Modern furniture sets the tone for this boutique hotel, which sits on quiet Studentski Trg in Belgrade's Old Town and earns a Michelin Key. Architect Isay Weinfeld's design layers mid-century jet-age romance over parquet floors and Eastern-inflected carpets, with cashmere throws and linen wallpaper in 45 rooms. Limestone bathrooms come stocked with Hermès products, and the spa leans into a genuinely sleek calm.

The Art Nouveau façade on Karađorđeva has been turning heads since before anyone alive can remember, and the hotel behind it has been cleaned up nicely after a long and eventful life. The Bristol Belgrade holds a Michelin Key, and inside you'll find creamy guest rooms with burgundy furnishings and Art Deco touches, a bistro riffing on Serbian classics, afternoon tea in the courtyard, and a spa with a hammam. Old bones, fresh paint.
-
A boutique hotel on a pedestrian street in central Belgrade where you choose your room by aesthetic allegiance: Art Deco filigree or Brutalist concrete chic, both of them winking at local history rather than ignoring it. The building is a neighborhood landmark, close to most things worth seeing. Downstairs, the restaurant Cveće Zla keeps to classic Serbian cooking, which in this city is reason enough to stay in for dinner.
-
The rooftop bar books out fast enough that you'd think they were giving something away. Mama Shelter is a design-forward boutique hotel on Kneza Mihaila, Belgrade's pedestrian spine, where Jalil Amor's interiors go full riotous-whimsy in the public spaces and then dial back to something calmer in the rooms. The crowd skews young and the rates stay budget-conscious, which is a combination that gets harder to find the more a city heats up.

Artwork by Belgrade-born Gabriel Glid hangs in the rooms, which is one way to announce that this isn't another business-hotel chain. Townhouse 27 is a boutique hotel that keeps its design ambitions tasteful, leaning on inventive lighting and quirky textures rather than anything that might startle a conservative city still warming to the idea. City views and a shaded terrace come standard, and the all-day Serbian restaurant means you don't have to go far for dinner.

The monumental Fifties modernist facade makes Metropol Palace Hotel look like it was built to intimidate foreign dignitaries, and historically, it was. Inside, the 108 rooms and 128 suites have been brought firmly into the present with a residential-luxe feel, and the spa complex runs unusually large. The rooftop bar, Twenty Two, commands a proper view over Belgrade, where the city's social life has quietly circled back to this address.

A stately building in Vračar that spent most of the last century as political backdrop now operates as a boutique hotel with a Michelin Key and a very straight face. Stone bathrooms with rain showers, espresso machines, bedside reading lights, and rooms large enough to move around in without apology. The lobby bar handles business meetings and romantic cocktails with equal composure, and there's a sauna and massage room for good measure.
