Looking for the Perfect City to Spark Your Holiday Spirit?

If holiday magic is what you’re after, Ljubljana—and One66—have it in spades! Picture this: a city glowing with sparkling lights, festive stalls filled with treats, and mulled wine that wraps you in warmth and cheer. And just when you think it can’t get more magical, you step into One66 hotel. It’s so charming, you’ll think you’ve walked straight into a Hallmark movie! Let us spill the tea on what’s waiting for you—inside and out.

Who Needs the North Pole When You’ve Got Us?

Step into One66, where the holiday magic begins before you even walk through the doors. Giant tree ornaments at the entrance and beautiful Christmas lights create an enchanting welcome! Even the reception area is decked out in holiday charm, complete with decorations and a special Santa’s Mailbox where you can drop off letters filled with wishes and cheer. From here, let’s step into the heart of the hotel.

Cozy Corners That Feel Just Like Home!

The lounge area is a festive masterpiece, with a towering 5-meter Christmas tree dressed in candy cane ornaments, surrounded by warm, twinkling lights. This area at One66 is full of cozy little corners designed for ultimate relaxation. Whether you’re curling up with a warm mug of tea or hot cocoa, or simply enjoying the festive glow of the twinkling lights, there’s always a perfect spot waiting for you. These small, inviting nooks offer just the right mix of comfort and holiday spirit, making it easy to unwind and soak in the magic of the season. It’s the kind of place where every corner feels like home.

Festive Lights and Delicious Bites

Step outside, and you’re instantly surrounded by the city’s magical spirit! Ljubljana’s holiday lights are next-level, designed by local artists to create a glowing spectacle of stars, constellations, and artistic flair. Wander through Prešeren Square and the Ljubljanica River banks, where festive stalls offer everything from roasted chestnuts to šmorn (a fluffy shredded pancake, lightly sweetened and served with powdered sugar) and juicy klobasa (sausage, seasoned with garlic and spices). From the Castle Christmas Market with its unbeatable views to the Magic Forest at Kongresni Trg and live concerts across the city, Ljubljana’s festive spirit is contagious!

Cheers to 2026

If you’re sticking around for New Year’s, experience the magic of Ljubljana’s open-air New Year’s Eve countdown celebrations, where the city’s main squares—Mestni Trg, Kongresni Trg, Trg Francoske Revolucije, and Pogačarjev Trg—transform into lively celebration spots buzzing with music and energy. Whether you’re clinking glasses with friends or toasting with strangers who feel like friends, the atmosphere is amazing!
