History
In 1850, Hotel Luisenbad was built on the site of today's Toplice by Josef Luckmann. Hotel shortly became a meeting point for Austrian elite as well as a vacation destination for wealthy foreigners. In 1894, it featured thermal baths, a casino and an oriental coffee house.
After the dissolution of Austria-Hungary in 1918, hotel was renamed to Grand Hotel Toplice by the new owner. In 1931, hotel opened again after it was renovated by Austrian architect Franz Baumgartner. Since then, promiment visitors often resided here as Bled became a diplomatic haven after King Alexander I of Yugoslavia and later Josip Broz Tito chose this alpine resort as their summer residence.
Today, Grand Hotel Toplice still has its charm and is frequented by guests from all over the world.
The hotel is incorporated into The Leading Hotels of the World consortium.
