Find the best Slovenia Hotels

Slovenia is roughly the size of Wales but this small country manages to pack in snow-capped peaks, vibrant cities, enchanting green rivers, a cuisine that successfully fuses the best of its neighbouring countries, mysterious caves, deep forests, endearingly rustic villages and a Venetian-style coastline. Whew, you are not going to be short of things to do and see with a hotel in Slovenia! Outdoor activities come to the fore with skiing, walking and cycling very popular in the beautiful Julian Alps and other mountainous areas. Yet the Art Nouveau delights, nightlife and restaurants of the capital, Ljubljana, give you plenty of excuses to take a break from all those breathtaking natural views every now and again.

Where to Stay in Slovenia

Ljubljana - Book a hotel in Ljubljana, Slovenia’s capital; a knowingly hip city that offers Art Nouveau architecture, a fantastic dining scene and plenty of lively spots to dance the night away in.

Southwest Slovenia - Book a hotel in a region that is dominated by the coast, with rolling hills, caves and Venetian-style resorts to explore. Piran is a little bit of Italy on the Slovenian coast whilst the caves at Škocjan are a UNESCO-listed cave system that includes the highest cave hall in Europe, a massive gorge spanned by a tiny bridge, waterfalls and stunning stalactites and stalagmites.

Northwest Slovenia - The mighty Julian Alps dominate this region but it is the achingly beautiful Lake Bled that draws the crowds to its lakeside hotels. At Bled a Baroque chapel sits marooned on a picturesque island framed by the looming presence of a dramatic castle that has seemed to leap from the pages of a fairy tale.

Logar Valley Natural Park — In the north of the country lies one of the most beautiful alpine valleys on earth. The team at the Lonely Planet, no less, have described it as "a land of incomparable beauty".

How to Make the Most of Your Hotel in Slovenia

The harmonious beauty of the capital is matched by the harmonious beauty of Lake Bled - both reveal in different ways just how charming Slovenia can be. The snow-capped Julian Alps offer incomparable vistas over Slovenia’s varied landscape whilst the gushing waterfalls and impressive cave halls in the southwest are sights to get your heart racing.

Explore the caves, relax in fashionable coastal resorts, hit the clubs of the capital or lose yourself in forest: the choice of things to do in Slovenia is endless. Join the Italians cycling through the Alps, if your leg muscles can take the slopes, or set off on a hike through deep forests. If this all sounds too active why not see it all from a hot air balloon or simply picnic by Lake Bled? Keep yourself going with hearty portions of Slovenian cuisine which borrows a little something from each of its neighbours in Italy, Austria, Hungary and the Balkans.
