Hotel Neretva (Bosnian Cyrillic: Хотел Неретва) is a hotel in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was designed in 1890. by architect Alexander Wittek and built in a specific pseudo-Moorish style,[1] which was dominant from the end of the 19th century, on the left bank of the Neretva river, in the heart of Old town of Mostar, in 1892, during the Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina.[2][3]
Numerous world leaders have stayed in it to this day, from Emperor Franc Joseph to Josip Broz Tito and numerous tourists from many parts of the world. On the approximately one hundredth anniversary of the hotel (despite several renovations and additions), the hotel was ripe for a serious renovation, which it did not receive because the hotel building was destroyed in the first months of the Bosnian war in 1992, along with almost all important city buildings.[4][5]
The building of the hotel is included into the Provisional List of National Monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina, by KONS.[6]
