$$$ Adora Hotel, on the other side of the church from the three boutique hotels de-
scribed earlier, is a bit less charming, but also cheaper and very comfortable. Its 10 rooms
have a restrained rustic style (Db-€119/€105/€80, €30 more for a bigger superior room, air-
con, elevator, free Wi-Fi, free loaner bikes, reserve ahead for parking-€10, Rožna ulica 7,

$$$ Grand Hotel Union is Ljubljana's top address, as much an Art Nouveau landmark
as a hotel. You'll pay dearly for its Old World elegance, hundred years of history, profes-
sional staff, big pool, and perfect location (right on Prešeren Square). While their rack rates
are outrageously high, you can often snare a great deal in the summer (July-Aug), winter,
and on many weekends. The 194 plush “Executive” rooms are in the main building (official
rates: Sb-€194, Db-€224; in slow times maybe as low as Sb-€110, Db-€120; non-smoking
floors, air-con, elevator, free Wi-Fi, Mikloši č eva cesta 1, tel. [phone], www.gh-uni-
on.si , [e-mail] ) . Its 133 “Business” rooms next door are not as luxurious,
almost as expensive, and a lesser value (official rates: Sb-€178, Db-€208; same poten-
tial deals as “Executive” rooms, non-smoking floors, air-con, elevator, free cable Internet,

fine spotforaffordable elegance (Sb-€65-75,Db-€95-99;bigger andslightly nicer “deluxe”

$$ Meš č anka (“City Woman”) rents seven rooms and apartments in a fantastic location
right along the bustling riverfront promenade. The decor is mod, funky, and colorful, and
the good windows work hard to provide silence (Db-€70, apartment-€90, bigger apartment-
€120,cheaperOct-March,extrabed-€20,nobreakfast,air-con,freeguestcomputerandWi-

$$ Hotel Pri Mraku has 35 comfortable but overpriced rooms in a pleasant neigh-
borhood near French Revolution Square. While it's a bit rough around the edges and not
