Meet Maxi
Maxi the Lion
In the heart of Celje, a town of rich history and proud heritage, lives Maxi the little lion – the ambassador of Hotel Evropa.
His story is inspired by the legend of the Counts of Celje, one of the most powerful noble families in Central Europe, whose symbol were three golden stars. Just as the Counts once protected their city, today Maxi symbolically welcomes and accompanies the guests of Hotel Evropa.
Maxi connects past and present – the tradition of the Counts of Celje and the modern comfort of Hotel Evropa. Just as Celje unites history and the future, Maxi invites guests to become part of this story.
Inspired by the History of Celje
Celje is a city of castles, stories, and courage. Above the town rises the Old Castle, where the Counts of Celje wrote important chapters of European history.
The lion, as the king of animals, represents strength, pride, and protection – values that have shaped the character of the city through the centuries.
Maxi the little lion at Hotel Evropa is more than just a mascot. He is a guardian of well-being, kindness, and hospitality. With his smile, he welcomes the youngest guests, while for adults he symbolizes warmth and a sense of safe and comfortable stay.
Sustainability
We live sustainability through respect for the local community and the heritage of the place. Maxi the little lion, inspired by the history of Celje and the pride of the Counts of Celje, symbolizes protection, warmth, and hospitality. His story connects the city’s tradition with modern, responsible living.
As part of the Green Key project, in our hotels we strive every day to reduce our environmental impact, encourage responsible behavior, and preserve cultural and natural heritage that we consider a privilege, not something taken for granted. With every such choice, we help create a more sustainable future. For Maxi, for Celje, and for generations to come.
