More medals


















Another annual competition of Slovene Tourism and F&B workers is behind us. This one was held in Maribor and Grand Hotel Toplice employees have come back with yet another set of medals: Simon gold for culinary exhibition, Miro gold for barman's competition and Renata gold for chambermaid's competition. Our team (Asmir, Tatjana, Nada, DrejĨe and Klemen) won third place among 14 teams from all over Slovenia, winning gold for food and silver for service.

Photos are attached and I must say I am extremely happy and proud of them all. Imagine sending 8 people to competition and they come back with 5 gold medals and 3 silver medals! Well done indeed!

Golden Honey









This weekend Grand Hotel Toplice is hosting a very special exhibition. In the Lake Saloon you can see several unique products called Golden Honey. Gold was added to natural honey and poured into hand made crystal vessels, decorated with precious and semi-precious stones and golden ornaments. Every set is unique made by several Slovene artists and designers.

Lake Saloon is a perfect setting for them as you can see on the photos. This is a true feast for the eyes.
