Hotels near City Art Gallery, Plovdiv

It’s hard to imagine how a pocket boutique anywhere could be better. We loved it! Six stars! Location: Near the crest of the historic Old Town, a stone’s throw from the Roman theater, you pass under a spindly boom pole setting the tone that you are entering a special gated community. (Just tell the watch person you are a hotel guest.) Décor: It really is an art gallery. Original paintings by contemporary Bulgarian artists are installed throughout. The little breakfast/refreshment keller has catalogues and books about them. The rooms are few enough that you have the sense of staying in a private home. And the wonderful blending of historic, quirky and contemporary touches results in a delightful envelope of character. Barely open two years, it has the assured demeanor of a comfortable longtime resident. Rooms: We stayed in a Deluxe Room on the top floor. What fun to lie in bed gazing at the stars through matching skylights with electronic controls for the shade and shutter on each side. Good storage, outlets, and sitting space. Bathrobes, luxurious Etro amenities, sleek fittings in the bathroom. A small balcony gave us a view over the city. We took a full, leisurely room service breakfast. Service: The door opened to a warm welcome, a full rundown of the routine, and a chance to pre-order breakfast. Checkout was equally friendly and efficient. There is no elevator, but the evening manager carried our bag up when he showed us the room. Surroundings: Although not immediately obvious, street parking is easy; the historic mansions from various periods are an architectural delight. But be aware, the cobblestone streets are serious; it’s no place for heels! Finally, a note to snobs: Until we checked out, I had no idea I had just stayed at a Best Western. If The BW Premier Collection is an example of their latest foray, I’ll be looking for more stays with them. Bravo!

We stayed here 5 nights. As Diamond members. we were upgraded before our arrival to an awesome suite, which was greatly appreciated. We found everything was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. This hotel is particularly well designed, with high end finishes, great showers and comfortable beds. The A/C worked perfectly and the room stayed cool during really hot weather...we only had to turn it on occasionally. The rooms are very well laid out. Our one bedroom suite had two full bathrooms, providing a fantastic level of comfort. The breakfast was great. We are plant-based and healthy eaters and both of us were very happy with the great selection of fruit, salad, olives, wonderful olive tapenade, breads and other fresh options. The hotel is perfectly located with the old town an easy walk away. There's also great grocery stores and a DM very close by as well. For me this was the rare flawless stay. I did not expect that in Bulgaria....great job by the team here. :)

Recommended by a local colleague, it is a better hotel in the area, the room equipment is a bit old, the breakfast is average,

Excellent hotel. Big with superb location, staff, nice rooms with everything, nice breakfast near to Maritsa river

Hotel Imperial Plovdiv is the best place to stay in Plovdiv. The highest quality of service, the attentiveness and careful attitude of the staff who treated us as their own friends, the cleanliness of the rooms and the kitchen. We have been coming to this hotel for the last 5 years and would not change it for any other hotel in Plovdiv. Special thank you to Vladimir Kochanov the Manager who attended to whatever requirements we asked for. Definitely recommend this place if you want to be treated first class!

Two years ago I visited and later wrote a review for this hotel. I thought then that the hotel was the best Holiday Inn in my entire traveling experience (I have been traveling and staying about 40-50 nights per year in Holiday Inn hotels around the world the latest 10 years). I still have the same opinion - this is the best Holiday Inn hotel I have visited and stayed at. The hotel is very close to the Old Town, just across the Maritsa River. There are plenty of good restaurants in 1-10 min walk. The hotel's own restaurant offers gourmet quality breakfast, both food and drinks. The rooms and the entire hotel are very clean and nice looking. The entire staff was very professional, friendly and went above and beyond what I have normally experienced in their effort to make my stay better. Thanks to the hotel and the staff, and looking forward to my next stay.

What a wonderful hotel, I could not have been happier with my accommodation selection in Plovdiv. Staff were absolutely fabulous, so friendly & helpful, & with just 11 rooms, it’s a personal, boutique experience generally. The location is hard to beat, in the very heart of the old town & just minutes walk from the Ancient Theatre. There are dozens of restaurants within walking distance too. The hotel doesn’t have one, but serves breakfast either in-room, in a sweet basement dining room, or on one of a handful of small outdoor tables. You pre-order the night before from an enticing menu of tasty, creative dishes. I was delighted with my room which was stylish, cheery & light, it was a pleasure to spend time in. Rooms have a mini bar & tea/coffee making, as well as s good range of bathroom products & excellent WiFi. Hotel decor throughout is chic & in great order, fairly new by the looks, & as the name suggests, various attractive artworks adorn the walls. A great choice.

We held two days of business meetings under excellent conditions. Perfect organization by the hotel management team! Spacious 5-star rooms. Wonderful views of the neighboring park and the Olympic rowing base of Plovdiv. A cozy atmosphere conducive to relaxation. Special thanks also to the chef for the wonderful dinner in the restaurant. Rich and varied breakfast. A cool place in the July heat. I highly recommend! Moreover, in my experience as a Hotel Expert level 16 on TripAdvisor, I rarely come across a hotel that deserves more stars than it presents.
