City, ski resort, country estate – and only 99 euros between them
Bulgaria offers three rather different kinds of stay with us – and they sit surprisingly close together on price.Zornitsa Family EstateFour properties stand in Sofia: the InterContinental Sofia (from around 145 €), the Hyatt Regency Sofia (around 141 €), the Sense Hotel Sofia (around 121 €) and the Sofia Hotel Balkan, for which no entry rate is on file.Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comOne property stands in the ski resort of Bansko: the Kempinski Grand Arena Bansko (from around 132 €).
One property stands in the countryside: the Zornitsa Family Estate (from around 220 €) – the country's most expensive and the only one with Relais & Châteaux.
99 € separate the cheapest priced property from the most expensive, a factor of 1.8. The choice here turns almost entirely on the kind of stay, hardly on price.
suitespot rates are full direct rates: the benefits come on top of the regular rate.
Five properties, five different programmes
Of the six properties, five belong to a points programme – and they are five different ones. No larger block exists in Bulgaria.
The five programmes
Relais & Châteaux at the Zornitsa Family Estate, IHG One Rewards at the InterContinental Sofia, World of Hyatt at the Hyatt Regency Sofia, GHA Discovery at the Kempinski Grand Arena Bansko and Marriott Bonvoy at the Sense Hotel Sofia.Kempinski Grand Arena BanskoWithout a programme is the Sofia Hotel Balkan.
An upgrade already at booking
A room upgrade is on file at all six properties. At the Hyatt Regency Sofia it is recorded already at the time of booking rather than on arrival – which is common at properties in that programme.
A guaranteed check-out with a time
The InterContinental Sofia is the country's only property with a guaranteed late check-out at 2pm. At the others the late check-out applies subject to availability.
What a night costs
An entry rate is on file for five of the six properties: from around 121 € at the Sense Hotel Sofia to around 220 € at the Zornitsa Family Estate. The mid-point sits at around 141 €.InterContinental SofiaFour of the five start below 150 € – which puts Bulgaria among our most affordable destinations in Europe.
The most expensive property stands apart: the Zornitsa Family Estate starts around 75 € above the next one.
For the Sofia Hotel Balkan no entry rate is on file; we clarify price and availability for your travel dates.
The hotel credit – and the most expensive property without one
Five of the six properties carry a hotel credit, in four different forms.
At the InterContinental Sofia and the Sofia Hotel Balkan it is 100 USD each.
At the Hyatt Regency Sofia and the Kempinski Grand Arena Bansko a further 50 USD comes on top of the 100 USD.
At the Sense Hotel Sofia it is 50 USD, or 100 USD for suites.
The Zornitsa Family Estate carries no hotel credit – the country's most expensive property, of all things.
The late check-out and free internet are missing there too. On file are breakfast, a welcome gift and the upgrade. Booking there means a country estate with a slim add-on package – not an oversight but the property's condition.
Room categories
Our room data holds 46 categories for Bulgaria.Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out.

For the Sofia Hotel Balkan we hold no categories at all – nor an entry rate. We clarify both for your travel dates.
At this size we do not calculate a suite share – the figures would carry no meaning. The Zornitsa Family Estate with three categories and the InterContinental Sofia with 16 cannot meaningfully be added together.
