Top choice in Slovakia
Attentive service and gleaming facilities give Hotel Rozsutec the edge over some of the region's older stalwarts. There's an appealing restaurant and the price includes two hours in the spa, equipped with Jacuzzi, Finnish sauna and hot tub. Mountain views from this wellness hotel have wow factor, so we highly recommend opting for an apartment with a balcony.
The hotel lies just over 1km west of the main road and ski lifts.
