A Historic Gem of Portorož

The Crystal Hall at Kempinski Palace Portorož is one of the most prestigious event venues in Slovenia. Built in 1910, the hall stands out for its elegant architecture, historic charm and refined splendour. Once the setting for grand gala balls, it now serves both as a breakfast venue for hotel guests and as a stage for some of the most distinguished events, glamorous dances and unforgettable weddings. The Crystal Hall is a true architectural gem and a historic venue unrivalled on the Adriatic Sea.

One of the most renowned hotels on the Adriatic Sea, a driving force behind the development of tourism in Portorož, host to numerous celebrities and crowned heads, and a jewel of Slovenia’s congress offer, Kempinski Palace Portorož combines historic features with modern luxury. The Crystal Hall is spacious and filled with natural light, making it highly attractive for both formal and informal events. It is further distinguished by a large chandelier and refined glass elements that lend the hall a distinctive touch of elegance.

The venue can be adapted to suit a wide range of event formats, from smaller private gatherings to larger occasions with a greater number of participants. The hotel’s team provides first-class services, from catering to technical support, with a strong focus on meeting the expectations of even the most discerning guests. Once the setting for gala balls attended by the Austro-Hungarian nobility, the Crystal Hall at Kempinski Palace Portorož is today an excellent choice for glamorous events.

Lavish Breakfasts

For event participants, breakfast is a special experience — not only because of the wide selection of dishes, but above all thanks to the remarkable setting of the iconic Crystal Hall, which during the summer months extends onto a beautifully landscaped green terrace. Kempinski Palace Portorož remains, quite simply, the heart and soul of Portorož, just as it once was.
