Medieval townhouse roost
Behind historic town façades along the Ljubljanica, a continuous interior ribbon links four townhouses with reflective glass, concrete, and chrome.
“Amanda and Aleksandar Vujadinovic raised their children at this location before opening it up to guests as a hotel, so you know it's tried and tested.”

behind a row of traditional Slovenian façades lies a high-design world of glass, chrome, and concrete.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Cobblestone lanes wind past medieval bridges and riverside cafés in the pedestrian Old Town, right below the castle.
The rooms
Compact bedrooms feature soft grey tones, textured geometric wall surfaces, and custom furnishings overlooking the quiet pedestrian alleys or riverbanks.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A narrow pool stretches along the timber rooftop deck, looking out across terracotta tiles toward Castle Hill.
The rooftop studio
Yoga mats rest on timber floors beneath concrete arches and a sun-shaded glass ceiling.
HAUS Restaurant
Slovenian dishes like house-cured pršut and seasonal truffle pasta are served under vaulted brick ceilings or beside the river.
At the table
Geometric counters, antique mirrors, and low lounge seating set the mood for evening Champagne and craft cocktails.
How it began
Owners Amanda and Aleksander Vujadinović lived here with their children before local studio Sadar + Vuga unified the medieval structures.
