“Celjska koča” je planinski hotel koji su projektirali mladi slovenski arhitekti Lena i Tomaž Krušec sa suradnicima. Njihov je projekt dobio prvu nagradu na natječaju koji je 2004. godine raspisala Gradska općina Celje u suradnji s Komorom za arhitekturu i prostor Slovenije.
Područje na kojem je izgra|ena “Celjska koča” je omiljeni izletnički cilj Celjana, a za zimskih mjeseci pretvara se u manje skijalište. Nalazi se na 700 metara nadmorske visine na brdovitoj visoravni južnog ruba Celjske kotline. “Celjska koča” je treći ovdje sagrađeni planinarski dom. Arhitekti su dobro iskoristili priliku koja im se pružila povodom obnove starog doma. Lokaciju, organizaciju tlorisa i program klasičnog planinarskog doma prilagodili su suvremenim potrebama izletničkog i skijaškog turizma.

Celjska Koča is a mountain hotel, designed by young Slovene architects Lena and Tomaž Krušec with associates. It was built on the basis of the first-prize-winning design of a competition launched in 2004 by the City District of Celje in collaboration with the Architecture and Planning Chamber of Slovenia.
The area around Celjska Koča is a favourite excursion destination for the people of Celje, while in the winter months it turns into a small ski resort. It is situated 700 m above sea level on a hilly plateau at the south edge of the Celje Valley. Celjska Koča is the third mountain hut built in the area. The architects did a good job, having seized the opportunity that offered itself connected with the restoration of the old climbers’ lodgings. They adjusted the location, layout, organization and the programme of a classical climbers’ chalet to the contemporary needs of skiing and excursion tourism.
