Riverside hotel by the Gruber Canal in the quiet Trnovo district, around fifteen minutes on foot from the old town.
Hotel Špica is a riverside hotel at Gruberjevo nabrežje 6, beside the Gruber Canal in the quiet Trnovo district of Ljubljana, Slovenia. The location is about fifteen minutes on foot from the old town, reached by walking along the Ljubljanica river and across the Trnovo Bridge, which makes it a peaceful alternative to the central hotels while remaining close enough to walk to the Triple Bridge and Prešeren Square. Trnovo is known as a village-like district with tree-lined streets, the church of St Francis and the architectural legacy of Jože Plečnik, whose house and works are found nearby. The Gruber Canal and the Barje marshes to the south provide a green, calm backdrop that is unusual for a capital city. The hotel is a mid-range property with a relaxed, local character, suited to couples, families and travellers who want quiet surroundings and good value rather than a bustling central address. Rooms are offered as Double Rooms, Superior Doubles and Family Rooms, with air conditioning and wifi. A restaurant and terrace give guests a place to eat and relax outdoors in the warmer months, and the riverside setting is pleasant in summer. On-site parking is a practical advantage, particularly for drivers exploring Slovenia by car. There is no spa or pool, and the hotel focuses on comfortable rooms, dining and location. Reception can help with local information, tours and transport to the sights of the region, including Lake Bled, Postojna and the Ljubljana Marshes. Typical rates run from about EUR 90 to EUR 150 per night depending on season and room category. Summer and weekends are the busiest times, so early booking is recommended. Evening dining options in Trnovo are limited compared with the old town, though the walk back to the centre is short and pleasant.
