Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (LJU) serves Slovenia's charming and walkable capital, consistently ranked among Europe's greenest cities. Hotels in Ljubljana offer access to the hilltop castle, the car-free old town, the dragon bridge, and day trips to the stunning Lake Bled and Triglav National Park.
Ljubljana's grandest hotel, the Art Nouveau Grand Hotel Union has anchored the city's hotel scene since 1905 with its magnificent mosaic staircase, the celebrated ballroom, and rooms that communicate the elegant self-confidence of early-20th-century Central Europe. The rooftop pool with castle views has recently been added, and the breakfast in the Art Nouveau dining room is outstanding.
The InterContinental brings international five-star standards to Ljubljana with the most comprehensive spa in the city, an outdoor pool terrace on the upper floors, and rooms that combine the brand's reliability with views over the Ljubljana Basin and surrounding Alps. It's the top choice for demanding business travelers.
The most design-forward hotel in Ljubljana, Cubo occupies a heritage building in the old town with rooms that mix the city's architectural heritage with sharp contemporary furniture and Slovenian craft details. The ground-floor restaurant has become one of the city's most popular dining destinations.
On the Ljubljanica River with terraces that cantilever directly over the water, Vander is one of the most romantic boutique hotels in Central Europe — a converted 17th-century building with exposed stone walls, designer rooms, a rooftop pool, and a garden restaurant that sources from Slovenian farmers with impressive rigour.
An intimate boutique in the old town with only eight rooms, each designed to celebrate a different aspect of Slovenia's landscape — the karst, the Alps, the Adriatic, the marshes. The personal service from the owners and the meticulous attention to local food and wine in the breakfast make it the most characterful small hotel in the city.
A 16th-century palace converted into a boutique spa hotel with Baroque frescoes, an arched inner courtyard, a Turkish bath, and rooms filled with period antiques and contemporary art. The UNESCO-protected façade faces the old town's most beautiful street, and the spa is the most comprehensive in the old quarter.
