Five-star stay in an architectural masterpiece
The Marinela Sofia is located in one of Sofia’s most iconic buildings, which was designed by the leading Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa. He founded the Metabolist Movement, which views buildings as living organisms, and this five-star hotel is certainly full of life. Home to buzzing restaurants, bustling shops, and a burgeoning garden, it’s a 10-minute walk from the city centre.
Although Sofia has lots of history and culture to explore, you could spend your entire stay at the hotel, such is the range of its facilities. You can shop ‘til you drop at the retail arcade, work up a sweat at spinning classes, relax with a wellness therapy, hit the dance floor at the nightclub, find your Zen in the peaceful Japanese garden, take a dip in the 20-metre pool, and much more. The air-conditioned rooms each have a flat-screen TV, WiFi, and a private bathroom.
Boasting six restaurants and four bars, the hotel offers seemingly endless culinary treats from around the world. From exquisite sushi to traditional Italian pizza, there’s something for every taste. You’ll love the buffet breakfast, cocktail menus, and city views, too.
This hotel might not be a real organism, but its living quarters are sure to breathe life into your Sofia stay.

Vitosha Boulevard
A 20-minute stroll from your front door, this popular shopping street has lots of upmarket stores, restaurants, and bars. It also offers splendid views of Vitosha Mountain, which is an hour’s drive from the city and well worth a visit, too.
