I thought I had sent this in May but apparently I did not. Every compliment given in the reviews are absolutely correct. The food is quite good,and the staff so solicitous that every request was handled with care and consderation. If you seek peace, quiet, comfort, and beauty, here's where they may be found. We already have sent family there and I cannot wait to return.
The swimming pool is available at the partner Hotel Habbakuk, a beautiful and brief funicular ride below.
In all the best hotel stay we've had in decades of travel at many three to five star levels.

This hotel is probably the best 4* hotel in Slovenia. Superb service, room, view, spa, saunas, food! in our opinion Bellevue is overall better hotel then 5* Habakuk.
Room is spacious, with nice interior design and quality of sleep is perfect one. Hotel look like completely new and is very good blend with nature - hidden gem.
Hotel manager took us on a walk to the hill, introducing us with a locale cuisine, history and anecdotes. He offered us some home made borovnicek when we are looking from the hills down to Maribor. That walk with him was extraordinary gesture that made us fill like we are part of his family.

Newly renovated hotel on top of the mountain. Big rooms (5* big), very nice and clean.
Excellent spa facilities (5 saunas). There is no pool at the hotel.
Food was the weakest link- not too big choice of dishes and quality was just average.

we stayed at the Bellevue for three nights in December 2008. the location is great: in the mountains overlooking Maribor. great base for hiking, skiing and mountaineering. We did not ski, but the lifts start right at the hotel so you just have to put your skis on and go off! Rooms are quite big and nice. We booked a wellness package that included half board and a massage. When we arrived, the hotel was fully booked and while the dining room had a bit of a youth hostel feel to it (simple design and lots of people just coming back from skiing, quite noisy as many families with kids were there), the choice of food was great. Unfortunately, during the next couple of days, as the hotel was quite empty, the dinner buffet suffered as well and was not very nice anymore. The spa centre is well designed and a pleasure to visit with different saunas and steam rooms. Unfortunately the 'surprise shower' (60 different types of showers in one) did not work when we were there. Our massage was only average. The gym room was a disappointment with only three machines and two of them not working. Maribor is also worth a visit: you can take the cable car to town. Overall a very nice hotel in a lovely setting and good value for money.
