Hotel Arena Maribor  

Perched at the foot of the Pohorje mountain range just outside Maribor, this ski-side hotel sits steps from Mariborsko Pohorje lifts and the Pohorska Vzpenjača cable car. Roughly 4–6 km from Maribor city centre and close to the Zlata Lisica race course, it’s a family-friendly, pet-friendly base for outdoor adventures.

Rooms are modern and comfortable with private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, minibars and safes, plus contemporary furnishings. The hotel boasts a large sun terrace with mountain views and a full wellness complex — saunas, steam bath, whirlpools, indoor pool, fitness and a spa/beauty centre offering massages and treatments. On-site activity options include alpine and cross-country skiing, snowboarding, golf, Nordic walking and horse riding, with equipment hire and ski storage; there’s also a children’s play area and babysitting on request.

Stand-out facilities include a wellness centre with pool and spa, fitness room, saunas and steam bath, plus ski-to-door access, ski rental and ski transfer services. Free Wi‑Fi, bicycle parking and tour info, paid self-parking, a sun terrace overlooking the mountains and a lively lobby bar round out the practical perks — wake up to clean mountain air and head straight for the slopes.

Two conference halls and a business centre accommodate meetings and events (capacity up to 110). The hotel offers event facilities, private check-in/out, luggage storage and reliable free Wi‑Fi/high-speed internet for work on the go.

A large restaurant serves buffet and à la carte meals and there’s a breakfast room with a complimentary continental breakfast daily. Grab coffee and snacks at the café or unwind with drinks in the bar/lounge after a day on the slopes.
