Hotel Lev
Business meeting point.
Renovation and refurbishment of a late modernist, 13-storey building just outside the centre of Ljubljana. The hotel dates back to Slovenia’s socialist era and is now mainly used for business meetings. It is undergoing a complete refurbishment: floor-by-floor renovation of the rooms, restructuring of the ground floor to include a new, extended lobby, and creation of conference rooms and dining areas. A café with an integrated bakery opens onto a street-side terrace. The newly created dining areas are open to the public, making the hotel an attractive, vibrant meeting place for all.
