Swissôtel Sarajevo

Swissôtel Sarajevo is a five-star hotel at Vrbanja 1 in the Marijin Dvor district, on the bank of the Miljacka river beside the Vrbanja bridge. It forms part of the Sarajevo City Center complex, which places shops, cafés and offices within the same development, and the Marijin Dvor tram stop is close by. The walk east along the river to Baščaršija and the Old Town takes about 20 minutes, and the Sarajevo railway and bus stations are a short tram ride to the west. The Marijin Dvor area is also home to the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Eternal Flame monument, both within a short distance. The building is a contemporary glass-fronted tower, in sharp contrast with the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian architecture of the historic centre, and it is among the most prominent modern landmarks in the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Accommodation is offered in Deluxe Rooms, Executive Rooms and Suites, with air conditioning, wifi and views over the river or the city, depending on the floor. Executive-level guests typically gain access to extended services, and room service is available. The hotel includes a restaurant and a bar for dining and drinks, with a buffet breakfast aimed at international business and leisure travellers. A fitness centre and spa complete the wellness offer, which is a useful counterpoint to days spent walking the cobbled streets of the Old Town. Service is polished and business-oriented, with a concierge desk, meeting facilities in the wider complex and staff used to handling delegations and conferences, while the central location also suits couples and families who want a modern base with easy transport. Rates generally run from about 300 to 600 KM per night, positioning the property at the top of the Sarajevo market, with prices rising during the Sarajevo Film Festival in August and over major holidays. Visitors arriving by air from Sarajevo International Airport can reach the hotel by taxi in roughly 20 minutes.
