The Forbes magazine has put the Square Nine Hotel in Belgrade on the list of the best new hotels in the world, saying that the hotel offers top quality accommodation and the accompanying contents.

Square Nine maintains the same two-staff-per-room ratio that Four Seasons is noted for. Butler service, collection from the airport in a chauffeur-driven Mercedes Viano, and packing-unpacking are all available on request. It is the exacting vision of an urbane proprietor who likes everything just so, Forbes Life Magazine reported in its latest edition.

"Belgrade was always an avant-garde city, a cool place compared to other cities in Eastern Europe," says the hotel's Swiss-and London-educated co-owner Nebojsa Kostic.

The hotel's team includes a chef, sous chef, and bar manager all poached from Claridge's. Importing a raft of otherwise unavailable international items from Richard Hennessy cognac to '99 Bollinger, the restaurant also produces its own line of gourmet goodies, the magazine underlines.

Wallpaper magazine has short-listed Belgrade's Square Nine hotel as one of the world's best business hotels in 2011.

The hotel, which opened its doors at the beginning of this year, is the work of renowned Brazilian architect Isay Weinfeld.
