Some hotels give you a great location. InterContinental Sofia puts some of the city’s most iconic sights right outside your window.

Set on #ParliamentSquare, the hotel overlooks one of Sofia’s most recognisable landmarks: the magnificent Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. Government buildings, cultural institutions and the historic heart of the Bulgarian capital are all just a short walk away.

Step outside and Sofia quickly reveals its many layers. Ancient Roman remains sit alongside Orthodox churches, elegant boulevards and grand 19th-century architecture. Nearby, you can explore the National Assembly, the National Art Gallery, the Russian Church and some of the city’s most attractive parks and squares.

And that is what makes #Sofia such an interesting city break: history is everywhere, yet the city still feels relaxed, green and surprisingly easy to explore on foot.

Back at InterContinental Sofia, guests can enjoy elegant rooms and suites, two restaurants, a 24-hour fitness centre and Hexaya Health & Wellness, offering massages, treatments and space to unwind after a day in the city. Some suites even feature terraces with spectacular views towards Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.

The location also makes it easy to continue towards Vitosha Boulevard, Sofia’s lively pedestrian shopping street, where cafés, restaurants and terraces bring a completely different atmosphere to the historic surroundings.

Back at Hilton Sofia, the atmosphere continues that connection with nature. The hotel features nature-inspired rooms, a spa and fitness centre, while OXBO Restaurant & Terrace focuses on a farm-to-table philosophy and seasonal flavours.

After exploring Sofia, you can return for dinner on the terrace, enjoy a cocktail at the bar or unwind in the spa with its sauna and steam room.

Getting around is easy too. The European Union metro station is next to the hotel, while many of Sofia’s central sights can simply be reached on foot.
