Best Luxury Hotels In Bratislava

The accidental capital of Slovakia is now home to the country’s president, as well as prime theatres, museums and galleries. It’s within the Eurozone, yet provides a more relaxed, laid-back experience than many other European city breaks, not least due to its entirely pedestrianised old town. Overlooked by a hilltop castle, with the River Danube running through the city, this pretty destination is surrounded by vineyards and mountains, offering plenty of enticing day trips both within and beyond its medieval fortification walls. Bratislava never feels crowded, but the bar and cafe culture here provides a vibrant ambience for those seeking a lively break.

Walls are adorned with retro artwork or metro tiles, while furnishings are shabby chic in style – think comfy leather sofas and vintage print cushions.
