Beginning of the hotel
Hotel Patria**** is an exclusive hotel located in the heart of the High Tatras. The hotel is a dominant building of Štrbské Pleso and is named by the near Patria (homeland) peak of 2203 metres above the seal level. Thanks to its unique view, excellent accommodation services, gastronomy specialties and modern wellness centre the hotel is since 1976 one of the most sought-after destinations among the inland and foreign guests.
Architecture
The hotel location was the subject of the public discussions already in the beginning of the construction. The shape of the hotel is therefore not a matter of chance – its design and architecture were directly adapted to the environment. The hotel lines the shape of the surrounding Tatras peaks and is a pleasant part of the surrounding nature scenery, being an inseparable part of it. The entire project was realized by the Czech architect Zdeněk Řihák (1924 – 2006), holder of significant awards for graphic and architectonic solutions.
Name
Two ideas are connected in the name of the hotel – Patria peak of the same name, rising up above Štrbské pleso, separating Mlynická and Mengusovská Valleys. The second meaning is derived from the Latin word patria which describes homeland.
Construction of the hotel
The first stage of the hotel construction was realized during 1968 – 1970. The construction was suspended after this period. Later the works started in 1976 – 1976. Even if the official putting into service was planned in 1975, due to the insufficient building capacities and unfavourable weather conditions in the High Tatras the deadline was shifted by one year.
Hotel in the run of time
Investment group of the hotel and planning engineers agreed on the name of individual hotel parts prior to the finalization of the construction. The name of the restaurant “Slnko” (Sun) has been preserved until the present time. The name was derived from the fact that this was the biggest “facility” of the hotel. Another canteen was named Slovenka what results from the need to bring a folk motive to the hotel. There is the Vatra Club located on its place at the moment. Hotel guests can enjoy evening entertainment here. Originally Horizont Caffe was located on the 9th floor of the hotel which was later rebuilt into the accommodation units.
Opening ceremony
The opening ceremony of the hotel took place on 20 December 1976. Patria**** Hotel has been visited by many significant inland as well as foreign guests during 40 years of its existence, such as Pope John Paul II, Slovak presidents Michal Kováč and Ivan Gašparovič, Karel Gott or Helena Vondráčková. Patria**** also welcomed Cuban and Brazilian government delegations and hosted the Slovak government meeting.
Today
Since opening the hotel was completely reconstructed several times and further renovation works of rooms are being realized at the moment. The hotel guests may look forward to enlargement of the exterior wellness zone and a new fitness centre in the near future. The hotel also plans to finish the construction of the kids’ corner for the littlest ones and to construct the summer exterior playground for the kids.
