Like many other hotels. Grand Hotel Toplice has a swimming pool. Only ours is a bit different. First of all it was built 80 years ago and secondly the water in it comes from a natural thermal spring right under the hotel. The hotel was actually named after this spring, since “toplice” in Slovene language stands for spa or bath. The water has 22˚C and is very beneficial for inner organs. The spring was discovered in the beginning of the 19th century and very soon the first hotel called Luisenbad was built on the spot. Once again “Bad” in German means the same as “toplice” in Slovene. I often get requests from the guests to warm up the water, but we don’t really want to change the historical connection with hotel’s name. Besides, the quality of water will definitely change if we warm it up.
