For half a century, the Inex Gorica has stood at the edge of Lake Ohrid, surrounded by pine trees. Its simple, classical architecture and lakeside position make it one of the most serene places to stay on the lake.

Setting and arrival
I drove down from Skopje and parked in the hotel’s own car park. Check-in was very quick, and I was kindly upgraded.
The rooms
All rooms look out to the lake or mountains, in either modern or classical decor, with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, minibar and cable TV. Mine had a small corner balcony with a table and chairs. There are also six Junior Apartments, with a living room, desk and lake-view balcony, and two Presidential Apartments.
Beach, bar and dining
In the evening I swam from the lakeside beach as the sun set; the water was warm and a dock kept the children entertained. Back at the hotel, the 24-hour Aperitif Bar terrace was lively under the night sky. Breakfast and meals are served in the combined Main and National restaurants, with indoor and terrace seating and a choice of Macedonian or international cuisine.
Facilities
There is a sauna, massage services and several conference rooms.
The verdict
A beautiful lakeside setting and warm hospitality make the Inex Gorica a relaxing summer base on Lake Ohrid.
