You’re now in one of my favourite luxury hotels in Slovakia. With a lake view room you can sit on your own balcony and marvel at the glassy Štrbské Pleso lake and snow-topped Tatras Mountains, which rise up to 2,655m.

After a day of following well-marked trails (many of which pass close to the hotel), you can ease your aches in the chandelier-strewn spa. Here you’ll find views over the same mountains through which you walked, while soaking in a hot tub, sweating in a sauna, or swimming the 16-metre pool. This spa is worth the journey alone and I must have spent many hours here gawping at the scenery beyond the glass.

Meals – including breakfast – are served in the large Grand Restaurant. There’s something very special about enjoying Champagne with your breakfast in a room warmed by a massive fireplace at one end and furnished with pale wood beams in the vaulted ceiling above.

I particularly liked how I could stagger into the pristine reception, covered in dirt from scrambling up rocks, and the staff didn’t even bat an eyelid. A sign of true 5* class.

Luxury Hotels Tatras — Looking back to the hotel

I’ve seen prices for as low as £159/night. Combine this with a £30 return flight from London, a £12 return taxi journey, and a return train ticket for just over £3, you could have a 5* ultra-luxurious 3 day spa/hiking break in the mountains for only £522.
