The first and only hotel to include this special kind of wellness in Slovenia and this part of Europe. Deep under the hotel, the glacial water has been left untouched for over a millennium. Tests have shown that due to the favourable conditions the water has become rich with minerals, with the ideal ratio of calcium and magnesium and a neutral pH. Although this crystal clear underground water has had a solitary life in the depths for so many years, it is now being brought into the light and is ready to delight visitors with its beneficial effects.

Thanks to its purity and other qualities water sourced from the subterranean glacial lakes is beneficial to health.
