Maribor hotels
We've heard visitors in Maribor hotels saying:
"Can you imagine, it's winter, you're sitting on an open hotel terrace
in front of a thermal water pool, drinking your favorite drink...
...then out of the blue you make up your mind, dress up, walk out of the
hotel, put on the skies and off you go...to
world-cup skiing..."
A 5-star Hotel Habakuk is
just yards off the world-cup skiing slope. The distant hills are part of the
Maribor wine region.
This is actually
one of Maribor hotels,
a 5 minute drive away from the medieval city center!
Geography simply works here, period. Well, Slovenia in general is very
well placed anyway.
The main point is that all hotels are situated right where you need
them. The most impressive of all Maribor hotels is a
5-star spa hotel Habakuk located right, but really right beneath the
world's oldest women skiing competition slope. It is one of the most
prestigious ski hotels in Slovenia offering a range of services:
wellness center
medical center
medical center
diplomatic club
Newly refurbished Hotel
Orel overlooking the pedestrian Castle Square.
Yet still, you may actually want to stay right in the center of Maribor.
Good, there is
a 3-star city hotel Orel overlooking
the pedestrian Castle Square or
a 4-star business hotel Piramida
just, yes, again, just a few walking minutes away. It is all so unbelievably
close and distances are always measured in minutes.
There is another small hotel conveniently located halfway between the
Maribor city center and Pohorje. The
3-star Garni Hotel Tabor is a family run business. We have never
stayed there but some of our friends have and they were really happy with
it.
Blimey, there is also Pohorje with a selection of
cottages, motels and hotels.
Four star Wellness and skiing
hotel Bellevue is one of them. Being just
recently renovated it stays right and yet again just right above the
world-cup slope.
Maribor has started to realize its potentials so almost every time we
visit the city a new family-run hotel is opened. Maribor hotels are mainly
small but that normally means a much more personal service.
My husband visited Slovenia as a delegate at the 27th PODIM conference
in April 2007 held at hotel Habakuk and stayed in hotel Piramida a few years
earlier so he is able to tell you some more about these two hotels. Whatever
the case, we know these Maribor hotels from our own or friends' experience
and our impression is that they offer decent and reasonably priced
accommodation for families and business people alike.
