Picolo recommends · Hotel in Ljubljana, Slovenia
InterContinental Ljubljana
From the top floors you see the castle on its hill, and on a clear day the snowy line of the Alps behind it.
Ljubljana is a low city of red roofs and church towers, so the view from the top of the InterContinental is unusual. The restaurant and bar sit high above everything else, looking towards the castle, and in clear weather the Alps appear on the horizon.
The hotel is modern and international in style, with large rooms and a spa. The old town is a walk of around ten minutes, close enough to stroll in for dinner.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose InterContinental Ljubljana
We included it for travellers who want a reliable international standard and a room with space to spread out. The top-floor bar gives you the best view of Ljubljana without climbing to the castle.
It does not feel like old Ljubljana. You are just outside the historic centre, in a modern tower, so if cobbles and character under your window matter, choose one of the old town hotels instead.
