Resort hotels in Portorož

Portorož (Italian: Portorose, literally "Port of Roses"), is an Adriatic - Mediterranean coast settlement in the Municipality of Piran in south-west of Slovenia. Its modern development began in the late 19th century with appearance of first health resorts. In the early 20th century, it became one of the grandest seaside resorts in Central Europe, along with Opatija, Lido and Grado, then as part of the Austrian Littoral. It is now one of the country's major tourist areas. Located in the centre is the Hotel Palace, once one of the most important resorts for the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, and one of the finest hotels between Venice and Dubrovnik.

gollark: You just get politicians focusing on a small subset of states which have lots of EC votes and are not always going to be a majority for one party.
gollark: So it does not, in fact, provide equally powerful voices per state.
gollark: > Why should states remain in the nation if they aren't having an equally powerful voice? For example, why should Iowa stick around if they're just subservient to California's whims?Don't different states have different amounts of electors?
gollark: The electoral college appears to do something you could approximately describe as that but which is weirdly skewed in some ways.
gollark: If you want representation to be based on rural-ness or not and not, well, actual vote count, it should be structured more sensibly.
