Saint Ten Belgrade: The Hotel Living Its Second Life
Despite having a rich history, a thriving food scene, buzzing nightlife, and beautiful nature in its vicinity, Belgrade — the capital and largest city of Serbia — is often overlooked as a tourist destination. Granted, it’s not the prettiest of cities — brutalist architecture brought about after World War II makes up most of New Belgrade — but both its people and its culture have a warmth that often comes as a surprise to visitors. Serbia was ruled by the Ottoman Empire for nearly five hundred years, and one of Belgrade’s most notable landmarks, Kalemegdan, is Turkish for “fortress field”. After World War I, Serbia became part of the former Yugoslavia and fought in the brutal Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s before it finally declared independence in 2006. The scars of these battles are still visible in Belgrade today; NATO-bombed buildings still stand on the side of Kneza Milosa and the Museum of Yugoslavia holds many artefacts and stories about those who lived through these troubled times. Perhaps Nobel Prize winner Ivo Andrić put it best when he said: “This grand city seems to have always been like this: torn and split, as if it never exists but is perpetually being created, built upon and recovered.” Reinvention is a common theme in Belgrade —from the fortresses and boats that turn into night clubs when the sun goes down, to the inventions exhibited in the Nikola Tesla Museum, the city is bursting with examples of how Serbs have been masters of transformation. Tucked away on a quiet street in the Vracar neighbourhood, Saint Ten hotel is one of the capital’s buildings that’s living its second life.
