Hotel Starkl

Hotel Starkl is a charming, family-run boutique hotel located directly on the shores of Lake Bled. Originally established in 1928, the hotel returned to Starkl family ownership and underwent a complete renovation in 2021, blending modern comfort with a strong sense of heritage and tradition.

Room options

The hotel offers 12 individually styled rooms and two junior suites, inspired by the legend of Bled’s “sunken bell.” Interiors feature calming lake greens and gold tones, creating a refined boutique atmosphere. Several rooms include spacious wooden balconies with beautiful views across Lake Bled, ideal for a peaceful stay by the water.

Dining

The hotel’s à la carte restaurant focuses on home-cooked, seasonal Slovenian cuisine with a Mediterranean influence. Dishes are prepared using fresh ingredients and can be enjoyed alongside lake views, while the bar and terrace provide relaxed spaces for drinks.

Location & Experiences

Set directly on the lakefront, Hotel Starkl offers immediate access to lakeside walks and pletna boat rides to Bled Island. The central waterfront location also makes it easy to explore Bled Castle or simply relax by the water’s edge.
