Leading Hotels, our way
It's the height of the season. Between site visits, client requests, and event operations, every day seems to move faster than the last.
But in the middle of it all, it's worth taking a moment to look back on the experiences that made June 2025 such a memorable month for us.
Every event leaves its mark. Some stand out because of flawless execution, others because of a unique venue, a new experience, or exceptional teamwork.
The Leading Luxury 2025 MICE Event — hosted for The Leading Hotels of the World — will stay with us for all of those reasons.
Montenegro Concierge DMC had the privilege of co-organizing this distinguished three-day gathering alongside The Chedi Luštica Bay — a proud member of The Leading Hotels of the World collection — welcoming top US luxury hospitality buyers to Montenegro, with the support of the National Tourism Organisation ofMontenegro.
For The Leading Luxury 2025, Montenegro was chosen as the destination — a recognition of the country's growing reputation on the international luxury travel scene.
Over three days, guests were introduced to Montenegro through carefully designed experiences that showcased the country's landscapes, culture, gastronomy, and hospitality.
From the very first day, guests settled into Montenegro's unique rhythm. Days were spent exploring some of the country's most remarkable locations, while evenings brought everyone together around the table.
Each dinner was created to celebrate local flavours with a contemporary twist, offering not just exceptional cuisine but opportunities to connect, share stories, and create lasting memories.
Beyond the scenery and the food, what made the experience truly special was the atmosphere that developed throughout the journey. Conversations flowed naturally, relationships strengthened, and guests experienced firsthand the warmth and authenticity that Montenegro is known for.
By the final evening, it was clear that this had been more than just an industry event. It had become a shared experience — one that left guests with a deeper connection to the destination and to each other.
A warm welcome at The Chedi Luštica Bay
The event opened at The Chedi Luštica Bay with a relaxed poolside reception overlooking the Adriatic coast. Industry partners and guests were welcomed with opening remarks, including a toast from LHW Managing Director Armanda Santangeli, setting the tone for the days ahead.
Montenegro from above and within
Guests experienced Montenegro from a new perspective with a cable car journey above the Bay of Kotor, followed by lunch at Forza Kuk in Lovćen National Park. The afternoon continued with a visit to Kotor Old Town, where centuries of history and architecture tell the story of the region.
The day concluded with a memorable evening on Our Lady of the Rocks Island. Surrounded by history and illuminated by moonlight, guests enjoyed an intimate cultural performance, traditional Montenegrin specialties, and a speedboat ride back across the bay.
Building future partnerships
The final day focused on meaningful business connections through a series of one-on-one meetings between MICE professionals and representatives from more than 30 Leading Hotels of the World member properties.
These conversations opened the door to future collaborations and strengthened relationships acrossthe network.
