History

Kempinski Palace Portorož - a hotel which has a lot of stories to tell ....

Today, the Kempinski Palace Portorož bears the most important testimony to a flourishing thermal town of Portorož, one of the most important European SPA and seaside resorts in the second half of the 19th century, alongside Grado, Lido in Venice and Opatija, all part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.

Portorož first established itself as a tourist destination between 1908 and 1912 when the Palace Hotel was built. It was designed by the Austrian architect Johannes Eustachio and opened in 1910.

The following years after the opening of the Palace Hotel could record a steady increase of visitors coming to Portorož with a final record in 1913 with 7250 guests.

The old Palace of that era was something out of the ordinary. The opening itself was a social event and something unique. The Habsburg Vienna had a significant influence on the hotel's architectural image and its offer; the events, parties, services and offers were suited to its requirements.

The luxurious Palace Hotel was built as a wellness and tourist centre, with an exceptional SPA infrastructure for that period. It had more than one hundred rooms with rich décor, luxury dining halls, bars, a representative entrance section and garages.

Electrical wiring and elevators as well as the air-conditioning equipment were the pride of the hotel since at that time those facilities have been singular.

The history of the hotel Palace was influenced by famous names such as Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, Marcello Mastroianni, Mina, Yul Brynner, Tito, Bobby Fischer and many other celebrities.

Due to its architecture, a mixture of various historical styles with elements of the Vienna Secession, the old Palace Hotel was declared as cultural monument in 1980, whereas the surrounding idyllic park gained the title of a manmade natural monument.

The renovated Kempinski Palace Portorož now has kept the legacy of the architecture and architectural characteristics of the old Palace.

The respect for history and tradition is intertwined with the newest guidelines of the present and future.

The Kempinski Palace Portorož is located in the very heart of the Mediterranean Seaside of Portorož.
