Description

Nestled along the mountain stream, sits the hotel with the longest running tradition in Bohinj: Sunrose 7. Built in 1890, this independently-owned and operated Boutique-hideaway bore witness to the construction of Europe’s largest railway system; a lifeline connection between Vienna and Venice which tunnels through the neighboring mountainside.

By the opening of the tunnel in 1906, the Sunrose 7 became the most distinguished lodging in the area. Attracting high-profile visitors from around the region, its prestigious guest list includes members of the Empire’s Royal Family, along with a multitude of societal VIP’s.

Now, more than a century later, you can still bask in the incredible views of this exquisite location. Indulge yourself with local flavors and royal treatments as you experience a total digital detox. Invigorate your spirit as you sip hand-crafted coffee, bank side, beneath our 125 year-old Chestnut grove.

The original Austro Hungarian villa had deteriorated to such a state of disrepair that it had to be completely reconstructed. In designing the building, a new “glass box” extension replaced a once windowless space on the river side of the villa; and a contemporary, accommodation wing was added at the rear. The architectural challenge was to combine the modern parts of the building with the historic villa in a sympathetic design, so as not to detract from the original building’s historic position in the village.
