It is in close proximity to the hotel area, providing access to over 7,000 hotel rooms. The Crowne Plaza Hotel, with 387 rooms and 29 suites, is directly connected to the congress center.

Covering an area of 100,000 m², Sava Center is one of Belgrade’s most significant modern architecture landmarks.

It is committed to sustainability and has received BREEAM certification.
