What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
behind its understated modern façade, the InterContinental is the very picture of the modern high-end luxury hotel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Step directly onto Sofia's distinctive yellow cobblestones, with the Tsar Osvoboditel monument, Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, and central galleries within easy strolling distance.
The rooms
Interiors pair soothing neutral tones with rich gem accents, framing views of the city rooftops, the cathedral, or distant Mount Vitosha.
The spa
Five treatment rooms sit alongside a Finnish sauna, a steam room, and a multi-sensory emotional shower.
The gym
Wood-floored workout spaces hold stationary bikes, treadmills, ellipticals, and a full rack of free weights.
ADOR Restaurant
Dishes come straight from the Josper charcoal grill, served in velvet-seated dining rooms or out on the terrace.
At the table
Floret Lounge Bar mixes craft cocktails over an illuminated faceted brass counter beneath a crystal ceiling.
How it began
First opened in 1968 on a historic plaza, the building underwent a comprehensive modernization before debuting under the InterContinental banner in 2018.
