In the hotel sector, there are other categories than the standard ones that guests are used to. These are for those guests who, for example, are no longer satisfied with 4*, but are not yet attracted by 5* either. One of the categories we are talking about is 4-star Superior.
The main aim behind the birth of this new superior category is to give good hotels the opportunity to differentiate themselves from their competitors.
Hotel Lesná**** has long met all the prerequisites for obtaining this designation, and we are proud to announce that as of 1.2.2023 it will be renamed Hotel Lesná****S
The hotel's ascension to the 4*S category means setting itself apart from the other 4* hotels we've stayed in so far. The Superior moniker denotes exceptional service above and beyond the standard minimum, delivering a luxurious guest experience, and catering to the diverse and demanding needs of the guest.
What services are we talking about in this context in our hotel?
What services are we talking about in this context in our hotel?
Hotel Lesná is exceptional in several ways.
In addition to its interesting location in a quiet village outside the busy centre of the Tatras, but only a few kilometres from the main Tatra resorts, it boasts several primacies within the Slovak hotel industry.
Rooms (Generous space)
We can start with the accommodation part itself, which is untypical in this hotel. The standard is a larger number of double rooms and a few suites for guests who want to pay more for comfort. In Hotel Lesná, however, it is exactly the opposite. Suites are the standard here, out of the 34 rooms in the hotel, 30 are suites with a bedroom and a living room with a kitchenette, because comfort and ample space is exactly what you expect from accommodation in a luxury hotel
Spa by L’Occitane (The only one in Slovakia)
The main attraction of the hotel is the first and only Spa by L'Occitane in Slovakia. The French brand has more than 2,000 outlets and salons around the world, and carefully selects its partners for the opening of Spa by L'Occitane from among luxury 5-star hotels. Hotel Lesná is the only 4* hotel that convinced the brand's representatives on their first visit that this place is the right choice. L'Occitane luxury cosmetics pamper you in every corner of the hotel - in the rooms, in the wellness, during massages, and you can take a piece of Provence home with you.
Massages (Original and unique)
Authentic ingredients with proven efficacy are combined with traditional massage techniques from around the world in unique techniques you won't find anywhere else, except in the international network of Spa by L'Occitane salons. The essence of each treatment is natural cosmetic ingredients and handcrafted procedures without the use of equipment or any technology. It is the sense of touch that is at the heart of the Spa by L'Occitane philosophy. At Lesná Spa by L'Occitane, the emphasis is on the overall experience, not just the massage itself. The 3D effect massage cubicles, relaxing music and the iconic scents of the French countryside transport you to Provence. From the first step, you are accompanied by a specially trained personal Spa therapist who welcomes you with a foot bath as an entrance ritual and the relaxation continues after the massage with a cup of tea in the private relaxation room.
Wellness (Relaxing zone for your perfect rest)
The spa also includes a wellness centre with three saunas, an indoor whirlpool, a cooling bucket with real Tatra water and a swimming pool with massage elements. In the Finnish sauna you will relax with our authentic fragrant essence, mixed especially for our hotel. From the relaxation area with heated sun loungers you have a phenomenal view directly on Lomnicky Peak.
Fitness
The fitness centre is equipped with professional machines and in case of nice weather, the outdoor work-out zone OCTAGO is a great alternative.
Gastronomy (Unforgettable gourmet experiences)
All your other expectations will be met by the hotel with its superior services of traditional Slovak gastronomy in an innovative and modern design. The menu is compiled by the renowned chef Peter Ďurčo, a member of the elite Gourmet Club. Chefs, sommeliers, baristas and bartenders will be happy to make sure that you take away an unforgettable gastronomic experience from your stay in the High Tatras. While a lavish buffet awaits you at breakfast, dinner is a celebration of food, a showcase of culinary art in a 4-course served menu.
Adult-Friendly
In addition, since 2018 Hotel Lesná is an Adult-Friendly hotel, which means that it considers the needs of adults first and foremost when providing any services. The aim was to create a space where adults could relax undisturbed and enjoy the tranquillity that the hotel's location provides, to highlight what the hotel has been exceptional at so far - relaxation in a luxurious style, and to allow guests to fully enjoy the original services offered by the hotel.
