Hotel Exclusive President

Overall the experience not only exceeded my expectation but we were impressed. The facility has all of the modern accommodations with a flair of old school classy touches. The building itself is newer and close to the main road allowing for an easy commute into the bigger city (Tuzla) within 10 mins or so. Inside the building it was layered with wood/glass panels and marble accents giving it a very modern but yet elegant feel. Restaurant is located in the middle of the hotel and perhaps a bit unusual considering there are 2 lobbies and depending where one parked or which one is active you may have to walk through it but not a big issue. Restaurant has a variety of cuisines (local and international) including a nice aged steaks selection that I have not seen anywhere else in Bosnia during our stay. Drink selection was excellent along with some impressive cognacs and cigar selection. We booked 2 rooms, one being their presidential suite and the 2nd a normal room for the kids, both were excellent in every regard (size, beds, bathrooms, accessories etc.). As I travel quite a bit to US, Europe and Asia I learned that EU rates their hotels as a +1 star usually but this place certainly comes close to the worlds rating scale and lives up to the name. Pricing may be slightly higher than some other hotels but personally I think is well worth it and prices were adequate for what one gets. We will plan to stay there again and hopefully it remains the same or better.

Main parking is one side of the building and no markings that the main lobby is on the other side of the building having to walk through the restaurant. While most staff was excellent (Lobby, bartender, morning server) the dinner server could use a refresher in the gastronomy etiquette (welcoming, attentiveness and overall pleasantness).
