The Rikli Balance Hotel offers guests what the Swiss healer Arnold Rikli found 200 years ago along the shores of Lake Bled – balance, tranquillity, and well-being. We continue his tradition with the desire and commitment to offer our guests the perfect environment in which to relax and overcome stress. In addition to Rikli's regeneration rooms, we also pamper our guests with wellness treatments based on Rikli’s holistic principles, as well as cuisine tailored to his concept, which advocates a light diet with full flavours.

Following the example of Swiss healer Arnold Rikli, we have developed a new product called “Rijkli’s bread”, which you can now buy at the Rikli Balance Hotel, or enjoy as a guest at the hotel breakfast. “Rijkli’s bread” is named after Swiss healer Arnold Rikli, who is considered a pioneer of natural healing in Bled, and the originator of atmospheric healing. Rikli was a proponent of an ascetic and vegetarian diet with fresh, high-quality food. One of the foods he liked to recommend to his followers was “Rijkli’s bread”. Because of rye flour’s high nutritional value and fibre content, and very low starch and gluten content, the bread had a positive effect on alleviating the intestinal problems of his patients. We make the modern version of “Rijkli’s bread” with sourdough starter, which is why it’s easier to digest, has a lower glycaemic index, and has a beneficial effect on the intestinal mucosa.

To ensure that our guests have a top-of-the line culinary experience during their stay in one of the most beautiful places in the world, we have entrusted the menus of the hotel restaurants to internationally renowned chef, Simon Bertoncelj. Under his creative leadership, our Restaurant Julijana at Grand Hotel Toplice has been awarded the prestigious Michelin Plate for fresh ingredients, carefully prepared: a good meal and Recommended by Michelin. The emphasis of the hotel menus undoubtedly lies on local suppliers, and consequently, on local cuisine, which is why your table will feature fresh local vegetables and local dairy products, such as the Bohinj mohant cheese, alongside prime trout from the local fish farm, such as brook trout.

In 2021, two digital service assistants, who our staff have named Tone and Pavla, joined the waiting staff at Cafe Park. The cute and chatty assistants are intended to ease the workload of waiters when serving food and beverages, and represent the next step on the digitalisation journey of Sava Hotels & Resorts. There are currently 13 digital service assistants helping out in Sava Hoteli Bled, in Cafe Park and in the hotel restaurants.
