A quiet corner in the concrete jungle of Podgorica

If you are tired of the heat or the general chaos of the city centre, the Capital Plaza Hotel has a secret for you. Tucked away inside this massive modern complex is a rather lovely reading corner. It is a sharp contrast to the grey concrete and the busy business meetings happening nearby. It is the kind of place where you can pretend to be a very intellectual person while actually just scrolling through your phone.

Furniture that actually invites you to sit

The first thing you notice about this spot is that the sofas look like they were designed for humans. This is a rare find in modern hotels where furniture is often just a fancy art project. The seating is soft and the lighting is just right for reading or staring into space. It is strategically placed away from the main lobby noise so you do not have to hear every guest checking in. It feels like a small island of calm in the middle of Montenegro’s busiest business district.

The art of doing absolutely nothing

In a hotel that is mostly full of people in suits talking about investments, this corner is a breath of fresh air. It is a dedicated space for doing nothing at all. You can watch the afternoon sun hit the glass of the plaza while you enjoy a quiet drink. The staff generally leave you alone which is exactly what you want when you are hiding. It is an excellent spot for a bit of people watching without being noticed yourself.
