The fully renovated Hotel Lucija has opened in Portorož, entering the four-star category following an investment of nearly €10 million. It is one of this year’s largest investments in tourism on the Slovenian coast, significantly improving the quality of services and infrastructure at the Hotels Metropol property.
Built in 1964, the hotel is one of the oldest in Portorož. After several partial renovations, a comprehensive refurbishment began last year in two phases – first the common areas, followed this year by all guest rooms, the kitchen, conference hall, wellness facilities and swimming pool complex.
The renovation brings a modern, bright and functional interior while preserving the character of an accessible seaside destination. The focus is on a peaceful stay that combines relaxation with active leisure. Guests can enjoy an indoor seawater pool, wellness facilities and a fitness centre.
The hotel remains family-friendly, with a children’s club, a space for teenagers and well-maintained outdoor areas by the sea.
One of its key advantages is its location between Portorož and Piran, with direct access to the promenade, sports facilities and the Portorož Sports Park. The hotel is also an excellent starting point for cycling trips.
The investment is intended to extend the season and improve business performance. The hotel, which until now operated for approximately nine months a year, aims to remain open for ten or eleven months.
The renovated Hotel Lucija represents an important enhancement of the destination’s tourism offer, combining tradition, modern comfort and a sustainability-oriented guest experience.
