Sofia Hotel Balkan was built in 1956 as part of a new architectural trend: a fusion of classical design and lavish décor.The iconic building of the hotel is part of the President’s Palace complex and beneath its foundations lies a historical Roman fortress, the remains of which can be seen all around the hotel. The classical style blends in perfect harmony with the contemporary modernity of the restaurant, lobby bar and the newly refurbished guest rooms.
Taking inspiration from Sofia’s rich architectural heritage, Restaurant “Labels” has been designed with opulence in mind. The intricate floor is inspired by the Byzantine mosaics and the accent gold metal and ceiling pay homage to the country’s history of gold smelting. The conservatory of the Lobby Bar “Basilica” pays homage to Bulgaria’s forests and acts as a winter garden in the cold months and a green oasis in the summer. Sofia Hotel Balkan offers sophisticated meeting rooms for gala dinners, weddings, conferences, special events.
