The Kempinski Hotel River Park is consistently ranked as one of the best hotels in Slovakia. Just a short drive from the international airport, this hotel is ideal for business or vacations. Another property of Kempinski Hotels, Europe’s oldest luxury hotel group, Kempinski Hotel River Park definitely upholds the high standards of the brand. The hotel sits right next to the Danube River and promenade for easy access to some of great views of Bratislava. The lobby mixes lush furnishings, elegant light fixtures, marble floors, and a grand curved staircase creating a regal welcome.
The rooms are split into eight categories. The Executive Club Rooms enjoy access to the Executive Club Lounge which is ideal for business travelers. For those who want a little more luxury, all suites are outfitted with only the best décor. Black marble, onyx, silk, teak and gold fill the spacious interiors of the Junior, Deluxe, and Danube Suites with incredible views of the city, river, and hillside. The Presidential Suite even features its own private rooftop terrace. Every room features free wi-fi, entry into the Zion Spa and TV, minibar, and 24-hour in-room dining.
There are several outlets for dining and drinking at the Kempinski Hotel River Park. For late night snacks or pre-dinner snacks Arte Wine & Tapas is a clear choice. The Spanish style share plates and finger foods match the wide-range of wines from the glass wine cellar which also doubles at an artistic feature of the venue. The hotel’s flagship restaurant is the River Bank Restaurant. The menu is based on the “Pure Kitchen” concept which focuses on preparing food in the most natural and simple way to enhance individual flavor. The signature dish is the Baked Trout, which is one of the most popular dishes in Slovakia.
The entire top floor of Kempinski Hotel River Park is devoted to well-being and fitness.

Service at the hotel was excellent with friendly and professional staff at the front desk, valet, and restaurants.
The property can also accommodate large events with its conference room and business gathering in its meeting rooms. Guests can also have casual meetings in the Executive Club Lounge.
The Kempinski Hotel River Park is the definition of luxury and understandably it’s a shoe-in for The Best Hotel in Slovakia. Top of the line luxury, friendly staff and gourmet cuisine makes Kempinski Hotel River Park a true 5-star experience and one I can highly recommend to visitors of Bratislava.
