The Presidential Palace, also known as the Grasalkovič Palace, is the elegant residence of the Slovak President with impressive rococo architecture located directly opposite the Crowne Plaza Bratislava Hotel. The palace is surrounded by the Grassalkovich Garden, which was originally designed as a French ornamental garden. After extensive renovation in the 1990s, the garden has regained almost its original appearance. The garden is open to the public free of charge and is a popular place for residents and visitors to stroll.
