hotel fjord
Hotel Fjord stands located very centrally in the town of Kotor, Montenegro which is an UNESCO-protected site.
The hotel was commissioned by the Yugoslavian government and the design was put to a competition which was won by Zlatko Ugljen, a Yugoslavian architect of Bosnian origin. Ugljen's hotel was named "Hotel Fjord", and comprised of 155 rooms, 4 suites, restaurants, outside pool, tennis courts, bars and a conference centre, the hotel was opened in 1986.
The hotel ran until 2005 when it was sold to a private developer former Irish Nationwide banker named Fingleton who bought the complex for around 5 million Euros, with a promise to bring it back to its former glory. Fast forward 10 years and despite continual promises from Fingleton the hostel sits undeveloped with only the tennis courts in use, while we were in Croatia there was a news story that the Montenegrin government is looking to sue Fingleton for the lack of development with the hotel, this may explain the newly erected fence and the very curious security guard.
