Vander Urbani Resort is a chic design hotel tucked into a cluster of restored townhouses in the heart of Ljubljana’s old town, right beside the Ljubljanica river. Its striking contemporary interiors, intimate rooms and a small rooftop pool and terrace with views over the rooftops set it apart, along with a good restaurant and bar. Stylish and superbly located among the car-free lanes and riverside cafes, it offers a boutique, design-led stay in the very centre of the city.
