Grand Hotel Toplice - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

Absolutely stunning! Our stay at The Grand Hotel Toplice at Lake Bled was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking view of the lake, which set the tone for an unforgettable experience. The rooms were well-appointed, offering a perfect blend of spaciousness and comfort that made us feel right at home. The atmosphere throughout the hotel was warm and welcoming, creating a relaxing haven where we felt truly pampered. The staff were exceptional—friendly, attentive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure our stay was perfect. Reception helped us with trips to Vintgar Gorge and even gave us a timetable for buses to/from Ljubljana as well as sorting out a minor problem with our airport taxi (a personal thank you to Thomaž, you were so helpful!). The restaurant staff were very attentive, we even had warm greetings from the housekeeping staff, every interaction was marked by genuine hospitality. Dining at the hotel was a delight. The buffet breakfast was fresh, tasty, and wholesome, with a wonderful variety. The four course evening meals were exquisite, reflecting the high standards that permeate every aspect of the hotel. Each meal was a culinary treat that added to our overall enjoyment. The hotel's location on the lake shore is simply ideal. We loved waking up to the serene views and taking leisurely strolls along the water. The facilities were outstanding, with a luxurious spa, an inviting swimming pool, as well as having its own boat house, among other amenities. Each space was designed with elegance and comfort in mind, enhancing our stay at every turn.The decor and surroundings exuded luxury, creating an ambiance of sophisticated charm. In summary, The Grand Hotel Toplice is an absolute gem on Lake Bled, offering unparalleled views, exceptional service, and luxurious comfort. We were very well looked after and can't wait to return to this perfect lakeside retreat!

The staff were absolutely amazing from point of arrival through to point of departure. Special mention should go to the manager Dejan, the two other Dejans, Dimitar and Marion in front of house, who particularly provided us with such friendly and informative service - because of them we were able to see a lot more places of interest and beauty,. Also, not forgetting Nejice . They really all could not have done any more for us. We have the benefit of having stayed at many hotels around the world and this team are up there amongst the best for their service.

It has a classic old-world charm about it. The breakfast was exceptional, especially with a view over the lake. I didn’t have a lake view room, but I can imagine they’re stunning. The glass of sparkling wine on arrival was a nice touch. The spa was great, and well priced - guests get a discount when they book a treatment over a certain value. I spent most of my time at the lake pool which was relaxing. Get there early to secure a good spot. I liked being able to order drinks to my lounger, and they were very well priced for butler service. I was there on my birthday and they sent me a mini bottle of Slovenian sparkling wine which was nice.

Staff were amazing - reception, housekeeping, restaurant, boat/deck, spa, all faultless, particular mention to our waiter Tenan - really attentive and discreet. Food was great particularly on the menu nights - we had half board option. We made great use of the rowing boats and enjoyed a wonderful massage at the spa. The hotel itself is beautifully appointed and lots of space to relax in.

If one is to stay in Lake Bled then this hotel is the only one to consider as it is very close to the water with nothing blocking the view. If we had stayed somewhere else we would not have had the same experience. The pool area is lovely and there are boats on the lake for rowing. The lake is perfect for swimming and is clean and quite beautiful. The views from the room are spectacular. There are excellent restaurants around the lake and the walk around the lake is lovely. Staying in this hotel to visit Lake Bled was the highlight of our trip.
