In total, the hotel has 19 multifunctional meeting rooms and a divisible main hall.
Natural surroundings
When guests are not conferencing, they can explore the stunning surroundings of Slovenia. The Strunjan nature park is one of the best sites to adventure to, with idyllic cliffs and fantastic views over the fresh seawater. There’s also the Istria, which is packed with restaurants and bars to sample. Visitors can even enjoy the great range of activities available in Slovenia, whether they want to try snorkelling, wakeboarding, sailing, swimming, or go on a pleasant walk.
The area is blessed with fantastic weather and vegetation that has naturally boosted the local gastronomy scene. Slovenia boasts exceptional olives, used to produce some of the finest oil in the world, and is renowned for its top quality fruits and vegetables.
All of Bernardin Hotels’ resorts are ideally located for any business traveller; the scenery and comfortable climate spurs the flow of communication, pursuit of new ideas and the productiveness of teambuilding. There are many interesting events to take staff members to, especially as Slovenia has a rich mixture of festivals each year, including Tartini, Extempore, Forma Viva and the Festival of Salt. The locals are open, friendly, authentic and caring, and are always keen to welcome international visitors.
Drawing the crowds
The convention centre at the Grand Hotel Bernardin has become so popular that it now hosts 300 events per year, attracting individuals from all kinds of sectors, whether economic, technological, political or creative. Mark Tandy, who previously stayed at the Grand Hotel Bernardin and is Technical Manager at the International Whaling Commission, said: “The delivery of large catered functions was dealt with efficiently and economically. I commend the staff for their friendliness and dedication to their work.”
Staff members at Bernardin Hotels pride themselves on their attentive, warm and welcoming manner to guests. They do their utmost to fulfil the wishes of each and every guest. The three resorts have therefore become as celebrated as Slovenia itself, and highly praised for their radiance and world-class hospitality.
