As part of the reconstruction of the Onogošt Hotel, special attention is being given to the adaptation of the fourth floor, which will significantly expand the capacity of this hospitality facility, said Tijana Đukanović, PR manager of Komp Komerc, the company that operates the hotel.
According to Đukanović, the hotel’s capacity will increase from the current 130 to 160 beds, including around ten apartments, enabling the property to offer guests a higher level of comfort and services. A key segment of the investment includes the construction of a spa center and the introduction of additional amenities required for a four-star classification.
The Onogošt Hotel will feature a small spa zone, a multifunctional hall of 300 square meters, and an additional smaller hall with a capacity of up to 50 seats. These new facilities will make the hotel significantly better suited for cultural events, conferences, private celebrations, and various other gatherings.
Đukanović emphasized that the reconstruction works are being carried out with a strong focus on preserving the hotel’s authenticity and historical architectural identity. The planned upgrades will modernize the property while maintaining the recognizable exterior of one of the city’s landmarks. The objective is for the hotel to reach a four-star standard, expanding and enhancing its offer for both domestic and international guests. She added that the reconstruction and adaptation will incorporate modern energy-efficiency standards, bringing the Onogošt Hotel into a contemporary phase that blends tradition with the expectations of today’s travelers.
The reconstruction is valued at several million euros, and the completion of works is planned for March 2026.
This year, the Onogošt Hotel celebrated its 70th anniversary, having been officially opened on October 1, 1955. Historian and publicist Maksim Vujačić, author of the hotel’s monograph, noted that when the location for the new hotel was chosen in 1952, some older citizens of Nikšić viewed the idea with skepticism, not imagining that the building would soon become a cornerstone of modern hospitality, a cultural institution, and a gathering place for many of the city’s, Montenegro’s, and Yugoslavia’s leading political and cultural figures.
