Admiral Hotel Perast
The Admiral Hotel in Perast is beautiful 18th century baroque palace converted into a small and romantic hotel, located in the heart of an ancient coastal settlement of Perast, in the stunning Boka-Kotor Bay. Perast is a UNESCO heritage site, small sleepy fishermen village in Kotor Bay with an amazing history and today one of the most beautiful examples of baroque architecture in the Adriatic, thanks to its subtle urban palaces and structures which mostly date from the 17th and the 18th century. Perast lies beneath the St. Elijah Hill (873 meters), on a cape that separates the bay of Risan from the bay of Kotor /two smaller bays within the Boka Kotorska Bay/ and overlooks the Verige strait, the narrowest part of the Boka Bay. The Verige point is the straits named after huge chains that used to be risen from the both shore sides, so to prevent pirate and enemy boats and sailing ships enter the Boka Bay and plunder the rich inner settlements. So this Verige straits was of the great strategic importance for the last third area of the Boka bay, where several settlements greatly developed – Morinj, Risan, Perast and Kotor, guarding wealth and reputation of rich Boka merchants and their families, hidden and protected from unforeseen attacks.
