Step Inside The Bristol Belgrade: A Capital Symbol Shines with New Splendor

NOVEMBER 27, 2024

After more than two and a half years of extensive restoration, the Bristol Hotel will soon reopen its doors, returning to the heart of Belgrade’s cultural scene as one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Now rebranded as The Bristol Belgrade, and with its charm fully restored, the hotel that was once the epicenter of Belgrade’s glamorous social life in the last century is making its return in an imposing new form, blending rich heritage with modern amenities.


Located in the heart of Belgrade on Karađorđeva Street, near the Sava River and just steps from the Belgrade Cooperative building, The Bristol Belgrade is not just a historical and architectural gem of Serbia. It is also a place where authenticity, warmth, and uniquely crafted experiences await each guest, making it the perfect meeting point for both first-time visitors and those returning to the city.


Guests will experience the spirit of old Belgrade in every corner of the hotel, alongside modern amenities such as afternoon tea with authentic homemade vanilla biscuits. Every detail has been designed to ensure that each visitor enjoys a fully immersive and exceptional experience.


The hotel rooms will feature reproductions of original decorations, blending French Art Nouveau with Eastern European motifs, while the atrium at the heart of the building will flood the space with light and openness. In addition to elegantly appointed rooms, The Bristol Belgrade will offer a state-of-the-art spa and a unique gym, providing an extraordinary wellness experience for its visitors. A library with a fireplace will also be a standout feature, certain to become one of the hotel’s most popular spots.


Designed by architect Nikola Nestorović, Hotel Bristol was constructed between 1910 and 1912 and is one of Belgrade’s most monumental buildings. Over its long history, it has been the residence of many prominent figures, including financiers John and David Rockefeller, the lifelong President of the former SFRY Josip Broz Tito, chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov, and Belgrade’s bohemian Momo Kapor. Thanks to its partnership with Belgrade Waterfront, the hotel has undergone an extensive restoration that preserved the authentic charm of the original architecture while introducing modern facilities, seamlessly blending the past with the present. The façade restoration, which now gleams once again, involved 16 artists, including sculptors, painters, and restorers. This ambitious project was carried out in collaboration with the Belgrade City Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments, and the final touches are currently being completed before the hotel welcomes its first guests.


The Bristol Belgrade is much more than a hotel – it’s an experience, carefully designed to offer each guest personalized service and an unforgettable, exceptionally comfortable stay. This unmatched city landmark will once again become the hub of urban life and an essential destination for all residents and visitors of the Serbian capital, offering a unique reflection of Belgrade’s inspiring past and dynamic present.
