Perched on a tiny piece of land jutting into the sea is Piran, friendly and overwhelmingly picturesque! Piran has preserved its unsurpassed charm and is a place that is almost impossible not to fall in love with on your first visit. The poetically named Portoroz, or Port of Roses is the king of Slovenia's coastal tourism trade.This petite Venetian port can hold its own against anyone, including the imperial capital just over the horizon that was responsible for much of its fortune. In fact Piran does have the same kind of open-air museum feel to it as Venice, only on a smaller scale.
This stunning town is rich with history that extends way back into the past. This ancient sea port retains its medieval charm in its narrow winding streets, huddled houses, numerous squares and churches. In its architecture the influence of the Venetian Republic can be seen everywhere.
In Piran, you will feel as though you have stepped right into a picture postcard. You will be charmed! In the main square, you will be greeted by the statue of the most famous son of Piran, Giuseppe Tartini, composer and virtuoso violinist, born in Piran. On the pier, you can catch sights of fisherman unraveling a fishing net. Stroll the town walls which protected the town against attacks by the Turks then proceed to the dramatically situated Cathedral of St. George. Not so far away lie the remnants of the town wall, which protected the town against attacks by the Turks.
Portoroz has been a tourist destination as far back as the 13th century, when monks from the Monastery of St. Lawrence treated people with seawater and brine. Beneficial effects in diseases like rheumatism, dropsy, scrofulous, obesity and wounds were recognized in near and far surroundings.
Portoroz as Piran was part of the Venetian Republic then came under the Austrian rule where it remained until the end of the First World War. In August 1910 Hotel Palace, opened its doors. It was a charming pearl with 175 rooms, a large dining room and a multi-purpose hall, a large open terrace, a luxurious reception lobby and a lounge for reading and for games. In 1913 Portorož hosted almost 7,000 guests and it started to become internationally renowned.
Hotel Palace was renovated and upgraded to a five star superior hotel in 2008. At that time, the hotel was also renamed in Kempinski Palace Portorož.
