At Zlata Ladjica, we are dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences in Ljubljana and beyond—each guest’s journey becomes part of a beautiful tapestry of memories. The kind words and heartfelt testimonials from our guests inspire us daily and fill us with pride.
The new gold standard for hotels
My son and I stayed at Zlata Ladjica for 5 days and we wish it could have been more. From the moment we checked in and enjoyed a welcome drink on their outdoor patio to when we checked out and one of the staff members walked with us to our rental car, we loved every minute. We were quite sad to leave!
The story behind each room is delightful and the rooms themselves are clean, well laid out, quiet and super comfortable. Without a doubt, this is the best coffee set-up I have ever seen in any hotel: a high-end coffee maker with beans (no pods!) as well as a number of herbal teas and sugars. I am embarrassed to say how many coffees I made myself in the room every day with such delicious freshly ground coffee beans. (A lot.)
We enjoyed talking to every single staff member. They were personable, extraordinarily helpful and informative, friendly and fun. They consistently went out of their way to help.
The location is perfect, the food and bar are top notch, and there are infinite little details to make the stay an A+++.

An Unforgettable Stay at Zlata Ladjica – True 5-Star Hospitality in the Heart of Ljubljana
We’ve stayed at many 5-star hotels around the world, but Zlata Ladjica in Ljubljana was truly the most exceptional. Located in one of the city’s oldest buildings, this boutique hotel combines world-class service with authentic Slovenian charm and pride. With just 15 individually designed rooms, each with its own unique story, the hotel feels intimate and deeply personal. The staff was excited to share the history behind each space, and their genuine warmth made us feel like honored guests from the start. Everyone remembered our names and preferences, and it often felt like we were the only ones there. When our original room had an HVAC issue, the staff moved us without hesitation. Our luggage was delayed by the airline, and the team stepped up immediately—calling the airport daily until it arrived. Sensing our stress, the concierge arranged a private 2.5-hour spa experience for us at a discounted rate. We had the cozy basement spa entirely to ourselves, which features two saunas, a cold rain shower, a Zerobody weightless bed, and a serene relaxation area. Detox tea, water, and fresh fruit were provided. We also enjoyed two excellent on-site massages, which made us feel completely restored. The hotel’s location is perfect—in the heart of old town, right on the river, surrounded by restaurants, shops, and cafés. Every detail was thoughtful: a handwritten welcome note, daily Slovenian chocolates, top-notch local food, and seamless valet service with the concierge walking us to and from our car. From the luxurious beds to the heartfelt service, Zlata Ladjica felt like home—only better. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to return.
