Returning from Australia back in 1989, the Sotiroski Family had decided to live and invest in their country of birth. After a few years, they fell in love with a small property on the lakeshore near the city center of Ohrid. After purchasing their dream property and having previous culinary experience in Australia, they opened a small restaurant named “Restaurant Royal” in 1995. A small ice-cream shop was soon opened for their children to learn the trade and the importance of hard work. Using original recipes for making gelato, it became the first store to offer the unique flavors of various all-natural ice-cream catering for all with a sweet tooth including diabetics. The restaurant was one of the first to open on this location and operated for more than 11 years.
In 2005 the new city urban plan allowed for investors to submit plans for and build hotels and other businesses on the front line of the Lake shore. In Autumn 2006, restaurant Royal closed for business and began its transformation. In August 2007, „Royal View“– restaurant and Villa was founded and opened for business. This was the first city hotel/villa to offer an underground parking for its guests, the first spa center (started operating in 2010) and the first kids-corner (opened 2014).

Locals are known for their great hospitality and positivity. It could not go unnoticed that they love their daily gossip over a warm cup of coffee. After a full year of research, workshops, trainings and way too many coffee tastings, the idea for a cafeteria was arising. But what was missing was a new concept that would cater for the true coffee lover where quality was a priority. May 2018 Steve’s Coffee House was opened as part of the hotel. Serving award winning Italian espresso, learning and implementing techniques of artisans in the field of coffee preparation, we are proud to say that Steve’s has become the No.1 local to offer such a unique service.
