The upscale Kimpton La  Peer Hotel in West Hollywood was the place where we learned much about the Slovenia, a country located in Central Europe and best known for its picturesque mountains, ski resorts and lakes.  Thanks to these geographic features tourism is one of the leaders in Slovenian economy.
The La Peer Pool was the scene where we met with some of our hosts and then enjoyed cocktails and a bountiful culinary experience.  Live entertainment followed highlighted by a performance by one of the country’s lead singers, Maja Keuc.
Capital of Slovenia is Ljubljana with a huge medieval fortress as one of its historic and cultural centers.  Actually Slovenia only came into existence as an independent republic after World War ll.  Some of the leading tourist attractions are located in Bled, Lendava, Moravske, Toplice, Radenci and Ptuj, all available throughout the year.
The La Peer Hotel was also new to us and we were impressed with its unique contemporary decor and ambiance.  It is located on La Peer Drive which is exactly one block long  between Santa Monica Blvd., and Melrose Drive in West Hollywood.
