Kempinski Palace Portoroz Istria

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel in late May 2025. Our allocated room was spacious and well appointed. The included breakfast was also very good. The location is a bit out of the way but is a quick bus ride into Piran. If you’re looking for comfort and luxury over location, this is the place to stay.

A wonderful three-night stay! I love the combination of historical grandeur and modern comfort. A lovely spacious modern room (grand deluxe seaview) with a balcony. Wonderful breakfast area in the old ballroom and a very good breakfast. A lovely pool that extends from the indoor wellness area to the outdoor area. The hotel's beach club, with comfortable sunbeds and cabanas, is across the street. We cycled to the beautiful nearby town of Piran using the bikes provided by the hotel. A wonderful stay, thanks to all the very friendly staff!

Probably the best hotel on the coast. Wonderful breakfasts, great rooms, pillows and beds. Gorgeous view from the old building. Incredibly friendly, helpful, acknowledged and courteous staff. The beach and pool area are clean, comfortable and well taken care of. The bar is hosting an incredible craftsmanship in cocktails creation, tailored to your desires. Adore their spa. *Gym could be improved with variety and weights selection. Hosting different interesting events from time to time.

This was our first time staying at a Kempinski hotel and we absolutely loved it! Our room was beautifully designed with a stunning view. The location couldn’t be better, right across from the beach, with private sunbeds that made relaxing effortless. The breakfast was outstanding, with plenty of delicious options, and the overall atmosphere throughout the hotel was elegant and welcoming. Honestly, we tried to think of something we didn’t like… and we couldn’t. Everything was just right. Highly recommended. We’ll definitely return!

We booked two rooms at this lovely property and stayed for four nights in August 2025. iMaps takes you to the front of the building, but it's easy to find the entrance by taking two left turns to the back. The rooms were spacious with stunning views of the coast. We dined at the hotel on two of the nights, in different restaurants. There is a good choice of food, though we think the lobster main course in the Sofia restaurant is far too small and we're unable to order sides to embellish it. The wine lists is excellent and there are some superb local Slovenian wines to explore. We enjoyed dining in the marina nearby in local fish restaurants where a fantastic variety of seafood is available. Drinks in the hotel bar - in the bar itself, on its pretty terrace and on the lawn under - were lovely and service was slick. There is plenty of choice at breakfast in the hotel's glorious crystal ballroom. This is managed by smart and friendly Maitre D' who greets you each day. We enjoyed our daily walk to Piran each day, which took around 45 minutes on foot. Its churches are stunning and the amazing views from the castle walls of Piran are a must-see. Two issues did occur during our stay, but we were so impressed by how the management dealt with them we regard them as quite forgotten. I would recommend this hotel warmly. It provided a very happy stop during our tour from Germany to Italy.

Outstanding hotel is a perfect location. Staff are exceptional and the facilities are excellent. Access to the indoor/outdoor pool and the beach is wonderful. Breakfasts are also great. Highly recommended.

We stayed at this hotel in Portorož for 3 nights and overall had a good experience. The hotel itself is very nice, with a great location right on the beachfront. It’s easy to get around and enjoy the area, though the beachfront right in front of the hotel can feel a bit crowded, with shops and cafes packed closely together. There was also some construction going on near the beach access, which took away a bit from the atmosphere, but we imagine it will be much nicer once that’s completed.||Our room was clean and well-maintained, but felt a bit tight. One of the bathrooms was tight in size.||Breakfast was very good, with a wide selection of fresh options, however the coffee could definitely be improved, it wasn't good at all. One of the highlights of the hotel is the beautiful garden and the views. That said, we were a bit disappointed that the garden is only open until 5pm. Since it gets quite hot during the day, it would have been lovely to enjoy it in the cooler evening hours.||The hotel has several restaurants; we tried one and found the food good, though the service was a bit slow. On the positive side, room service was fast and efficient, and the overall service from the staff was friendly.||One suggestion would be for the hotel to offer more services or activities for guests, perhaps a shuttle to Piran or suggestions for local things to do. It would really elevate the guest experience.||All in all, a pleasant stay in a great location with a few areas for improvement. We’d recommend it for sure.

A luxury hotel in the heart of Portoroz that combines both classic and modern architecture. Specious and comfortable rooms, excellent breakfast with a great variety for all dietary habits, fine dining restaurants, private beach, sports facilities and professional staff. Highly recommended.
