“A centrally placed historic hotel with chic interiors and excellent spa facilities. Rooms are uniform, with gleaming wood furnishings, including desks, armchairs and minibars, some with wonderful castle views. It has the largest hotel conference centre in the city and a charming cafe. ”

Hotel review

Almost on Presernov Square, the Grand Hotel Union is a fine Art Nouveau building and Ljubljana’s most venerable and prestigious hotel. Original features, such as decorative stuccos and etched glass, remain, and the hotel’s late 1990s refurbishment remains sympathetic, though its character is most prominent around the entrance. Rooms are uniform, with gleaming wood furnishings, including desks, armchairs and minibars. Best are those on the first and second floors, with handsome mint green corridors punctuated by smart wooden doors, while those on floors seven, eight and nine have wonderful views of the castle. Be sure to specify the original ‘Executive’ wing rather than the ‘60s ‘Business’ wing.
