The prestigious HoReCa Stars 2025 awards, culminating in a gala ceremony during the spring HORECA Conference in Jasná, brought further recognition for TMR hotels. TMR establishments were represented among the finalists in three separate categories, with one nomination turning into an outright win.
A total of 350 accommodation providers from across Slovakia were nominated for HoReCa Stars 2025. From a shortlist of one hundred finalists, three TMR hotels secured places among the very best in the country. The evening’s highest accolade for TMR went to Grand Hotel Praha in Tatranská Lomnica in the High Tatras, which claimed victory in the Social Media category. The expert jury praised the hotel’s original content, strong audience reach and active engagement across social platforms. The award confirms that this iconic Tatra legend continues to captivate guests not only through its century-old heritage and exceptional gastronomy but also through its contemporary digital presence. Grand Hotel Praha also received nominations in the Gastronomy and Wellness categories, underlining the consistently high standard of its overall guest experience.
Holiday Village Tatralandia earned a place in the TOP 3 in the Direct Booking category. Its inclusion among the finalists highlights the resort’s long-standing reputation as one of Slovakia’s leading family holiday destinations, as well as its growing strength in the online space.
The Srdiečko Hotel secured a TOP 3 position in the Staff Excellence category. The authentic character of this cosy mountain hotel is reflected not only in its name and logo, but above all in the warm and welcoming attitude of its staff. Competing alongside some of Slovakia’s most recognised hotel brands, the nomination reflects the hotel’s rising profile and also its consistently high standards of service and guest satisfaction beneath the slopes of Jasná.
The final results were determined through a combination of expert jury evaluation and public voting, which attracted a record-breaking turnout of more than 17,000 participants.
“The success of our hotels at HoReCa Stars 2025 is above all a success for our teams, who work every day to ensure that each guest leaves with an unforgettable experience. We are proud not only of Grand Hotel Praha’s victory, but also that Tatralandia and Srdiečko are regarded by industry experts and also the public as among the very best Slovakia has to offer,” said Róbert Šmitala, Director of TMR water parks, who accepted the award on behalf of Holiday Village Tatralandia.
The HoReCa Stars competition continues the tradition of the Hotel of the Year and the Hotelier of the Year awards, organised by the Association of Hotels and Restaurants of Slovakia since 1997.
