Bar is a coastal town at the Adriatic Sea and the largest Montenegrin seaport with more than 46 km of seashore and about twenty beaches. Located 53 km from Podgorica and 34 km to the Albanian border the city is an important centre for tourism, being one of the sunniest spots in the Mediterranean. Thanks to the rich history and cultural heritage the city stands out as being attractive all year round. Some of the city’s main attractions are the old town called Stari Bar with the remnants of the old fortress, King Nikola’s Palace, the Church of St Jovan Vladimir and the Old Olive Tree. The main tourist attractions are within walking distance of the hotel.

The franchise agreement between Accor and Liko-Soho was signed by representatives of both groups in Paris. The opening of Pullman Resort & Residences Bar Montenegro is scheduled for the end of 2025.
