Vander Urbani Resort

A conspicuouly designer hotel in sharp contrast to its exterior – four adjacent townhouse fronts in Ljubljana's dreamy Old Town, beneath Castle Hill, on the banks of the river. The interior design, which "follows a continuous line which runs almost imperceptibly from house to house", combines old and new elements and materials, with muted, grey and daring colours co-existing to eye-catching effect. And there's a rooftop terrace with a pleasing panoramic view.
