Hotel Korošica

Eastern Slovenia


It's a bit of a schlep, 10km northwest of Slovenj Gradec, but this four-star hotel, in the village of Otiški Vrh on the Mislinja River en route to Dravograd, is about the best in the region. The not particularly attractive facade – essentially a big grey and yellow box in a field – hides 30 comfortable rooms, and there's a popular restaurant too.
