This historic luxury hotel is set right on the shore of the unspoilt glacial Lake Bled in the alpine town of Bled. Originally built in 1854 as a thermal spring retreat, the hotel has since hosted a variety of dignitaries including Madeline Albright and King Hussein of Jordan. The town centre is just a few minutes' walk away, while the nearest skiing area is only 200 metres from the hotel, making it ideal for holidaymakers. Rooms are lavish and sophisticated with period furniture and stunning lake views. Guests can choose between two stylish restaurants, one set directly on the lake shore, for seasonal dining in a romantic setting. The hotel also has its own wellness centre with thermal baths, saunas and massage services, and guests can enjoy exploring the lake in a classic rowboat from the boathouse or take a swim in the outdoor pool filled with thermal spring water on a relaxing family holiday or weekend retreat.
