Antiq Palace Hotel & Spa

Ljubljana


The city's most luxurious sleeping option, the Antiq Palace occupies a 16th-century townhouse, about a block from the river. Accommodation is in 18 individually designed rooms and suites, some stretching to 250 sq metres in size and with jacuzzi. Many retain their original features (hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows) and are furnished in an eclectic manner with quirky rococo touches.

Amenities include a very attractive spa with three types of sauna and a fitness centre. If for no other reason, stay here for the lavish breakfast, served in the enormous back lounge or in, fine weather, the small but perfectly formed courtyard garden.
