The Hotel Metropol Palace is one of Belgrade's tourist symbols and architectural monuments. It opened in 1961 on Bulevar kralja Aleksandra, the longest street in the urban part of the city, designed by Serbian architect Dragiša Brašovan. The hotel is located in the center of Belgrade (neighborhood of Palilula), next to the University of Belgrade's Law School and the city park Tašmajdan, and within walking distances from governmental and public administration offices.
