Morning all, Mrs Atacama stumbled across a couple of press articles about this...anyone have any details save the normal IHG press pages? Interested when might be opening etc. Press pages say 2017.

Checked the disposals thread but nothing jumping out

Thanks

I see a train going by in one of the photos, but I can't tell how close this is to the central station? There has been a lot of development over the last 8 years or so in that area so I hope it is close by. Ljubljana needs a great hotel as previous (currently?) the best was the Slon, a Best Western hotel.

As far as I know, it will be right next to the train station (5 min walk)

A belated thanks to all for data forwarded....something new to try next year.

And whilst a little OT, anyone got an opening date for Robertson Quay .... it seems to have slipped a lot from the original schedule which if I got it right was last year.

I asked a colleague from Ljubljana during a meeting and he confirmed, that it is next to the station and walkable. He also told me, that the city is lacking any international chain hotel of a higher category and there should be some demand for a hotel of a higher category in the city; he feared, that it might be a bit to oversized (read to expensive for local clientele and demand for internatonal traveller are not that high?).

Good to know that there will be an IC coming to LJU!

LJU is one of the nicest old towns of europe IMO and is full heartedly recommended for a long weekend stay. As long as the IC is not yet ready I recommend the 5star "Grand Hotel Union" which is right at the old town.

The location of the IC is near the inner city/old town but a 10-15 minutes walk. Location to train station is good with about 5 minutes walk. Location has lots of car traffic so I hope the soundproofing is good.

LJU can be easily (and usually affordably) reached by Adria airways and either rental car or bus from the airport in the outskirts. Train connection to Salzburg/Munich is also good and a VERY NICE scenic ride through the alps. There is also a night train with perfect timing for a weekend out from Munich. Also there are very affordable bus connections to Munich. If you've got a rental car a visit to beautiful Lake Bled is recommended, it's a 45 minutes trip.

Thought it was going to open too late for me, too, but now it's opening the day I arrive in Ljubljana. Booked it yesterday.

Not early enough for us. We will be in Ljubljana this weekend. Have stacks of IHG points to be used. Will check out another time.
