Grand Hotel Sofia

Grand Hotel Sofia is a deluxe five-star hotel located at 1 General Gurko Street, in the very heart of Sofia, Sofia Municipality — overlooking the City Garden, steps from the Ivan Vazov National Theatre, the Bulgarian National Bank, and all principal government institutions of the capital, and 5 minutes' walk from the Serdika metro station. Since its opening in 2004, the hotel has established itself as home for international business travellers, high-profile events, and cosmopolitan society, and has hosted a remarkable variety of international celebrities and dignitaries over the years. The hotel building was formerly occupied by a Bank for a period of over ten years before its transformation into a hotel. It is a 9-storey structure with 122 spacious, soundproofed, air-conditioned rooms and suites equipped with Smart TV, minibar, coffee and tea maker, bathrobes and slippers, and free Wi-Fi throughout. The hotel interior is distinguished by a unique collection of over 400 original oil paintings. Additional facilities include a fitness centre with a hot tub and sauna, yoga classes, a health centre, a hairstyle studio, paid indoor parking, and a 24-hour airport shuttle service. The congress centre includes two smaller meeting rooms — Sredets and Executive Lounge — alongside a fully equipped professional business centre. A Private Lounge and Executive Lounge provide exclusive spaces for private and business occasions. The hotel's dining offer encompasses several distinct venues. Shades of Red is the hotel's gourmet restaurant, overlooking the City Garden through large windows — offering superb international cuisine alongside great local specialities from Royal Bulgaria and an exquisite à la carte selection, complemented by magnificent décor; it has long been a preferred venue for the country's political and business elite. Restaurant Triyaditsa serves a lavish daily breakfast buffet with a rich selection of traditional, healthy, and homemade food and beverages. Grand Café with its open-air terrace — lush green plants, elegant décor, and a front-row view of Sofia's pedestrian centre — is the ideal venue for a leisurely cup of coffee, an afternoon drink, or the delights of an extensive pastry menu. The hotel's piano bar is one of the most emblematic of its kind in the city. A 24-hour cigar bar completes the offer for connoisseurs of fine tobacco.
