Queen's Astoria Design Hotel, Art deco hotel building in Savski Venac, Serbia
The Queen's Astoria Design Hotel is a five-story building with a minimalist facade and Streamline Moderne elements at the corner of Milovana Milovanovića Street. The property contains 80 guest rooms, conference facilities, a restaurant, and a bar near Belgrade's main railway station and bus terminal.
Architect Ivan Savković designed this building in 1937 for Đurđe S. Ninković, creating one of Belgrade's first modernist structures. The project emerged during a period when the city was reshaping its architectural character.
The hotel served as a meeting place for important political discussions during the early 1990s. Visitors can observe the spaces where these conversations helped shape the country's direction.
The building is conveniently located near major transport hubs and easy to access. Visitors should note that this is an operating hotel with active business, so public areas are limited.
In 2009, members of the original Ninković family occupied the building to protest its privatization. This action drew attention to questions about property ownership and restitution of assets from the communist era.
