Description

Crowne Plaza Sofia by IHG is a 5-star hotel built in 2006, located in a business park area of Sofia. It offers a range of room types from Standard rooms to a 1 Bedroom Suite on the top floor with lake views and lounge access. Guests praise the hotel’s cleanliness and amenities, rating both 10/10. The hotel features extensive facilities including a heated indoor pool, sauna, spa and wellness center, fitness center, tennis court, and a rooftop bar with lake views. Dining options include a restaurant with buffet service and breakfast in the room. The hotel also provides business and meeting facilities, free parking, and 24-hour services such as front desk, security, and concierge. Many reviews highlight the exceptional service and spa experiences, while the rooms are described as spacious and well-equipped with premium toiletries and comfortable beds. The hotel’s design and atmosphere receive positive remarks for elegance and modern style. Some guests note the location is farther from the city center, but convenient for business travelers nearby.

Location

Crowne Plaza Sofia is situated at 111 Alexander Malinov Blvd, roughly 8 km from Sofia Airport (SOF). It is located within a business park district rather than the central city area. Nearby dining options include fast food outlets such as KFC Arena-Mladost, Burger King, and Dunkin Donuts, all about 130 meters away. While the hotel is not in the city center, guests mention a quick metro ride or taxis arranged by the hotel can provide easy access to downtown Sofia. The location suits those visiting offices or business facilities in the surrounding area, but may be less convenient for tourists seeking central attractions.

Tips

  • If you plan to explore Sofia city center, consider using the metro or arranging a taxi in advance as the hotel is 8 km away from downtown.
  • Try the breakfast buffet and don’t miss the omelette station, but be aware that specialty options like decaf coffee might not be available.
  • For spa lovers, book massages with Redi or Neri early as they receive high praise.
  • Bring your own basic toiletries just in case, since some guests noted standard kits were not provided.

This hotel is quite far from center and nothing is interesting around hotel . This point should be mentioned on trip.com site to assist guests to consider this point when they select the hotel .i paid 60 euro for one trip to center of city plus 1 hour time for round trip .I didnt see the hotel as per mark on trip.com . and 5 stars e.g. there is not tooth brush , paste , tissue,... in bath room Nowadays such kits is quite usual even for 4 stars hotel

Great quality hotel. Spacious quiet rooms, great saunas and swimming pool. The rooftop bar is really nice. Breakfast is OK, I would suggest having a dedicated person at the egg station so that I could order an omelette any time (menu suggests it's paid extra). It would be nice to also have a decaf coffee option. Gym is also really, really good. It would be nice to have a dedicated water fountain in the gym and one next to the sauna.
Location only for people who visit offices nearby. I will definitely come back.

If you’re looking for the hustle and bustle of the city center, this place is probably not for you.

But
If you appreciate outstanding service, fresh and delicious food, beautiful architecture and interior design, impeccable cleanliness, a perfect spa, and a massage that goes beyond your wildest dreams (Redi and Neri) - do yourself a favor: pack a small suitcase and come here for a weekend, a week, or even longer!

This place truly deserves five stars in every possible way:
The food
The service at the lobby and in the restaurant, and elsewhere
The rooftop bar
The incredible massage by Neri and Redi (we did four times!)
The perfect spa
The cleanliness
The design
The finishing touches
Everything, absolutely everything.

We’re already packing for our next vacation.
See you very soon
Thank you for everything❤️

Located in a business park out of town but that suited us for what we were doing. Room was amazing, bed was comfortable, room service was great, bathroom products were good, buffet, and spa was also amazing.

I recently stayed two nights at the Crowne Plaza Sofia during a business trip, and it was truly one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had. From the very beginning, Petya Georgieva provided outstanding service. From the smooth booking process to answering all of my questions with warmth and professionalism.
Even though I arrived two hours before midnight, I was still able to enjoy the spa area, which was a wonderful surprise after a long day of travel. The atmosphere throughout the hotel was elegant, luxurious and relaxing, and every detail felt carefully thought out to make guests feel welcome and comfortable.
Overall, everything about my stay was exceptional: the service, the facilities, and the genuine hospitality. I can wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Sofia, whether for business or leisure. I’ll definitely be returning on my next trip!
And - the breakfast is a must when booking, it's phenomenal!

Great place to celebrate! Especially wedding! The locations of the hotel are beautiful and elegant, staff is nice and eager to help with arrangements. The food is delicious.
Special thanks to Stanislava - sales and marketing manager - we have communicated with her for 6 months and she helped us very much, answering all the questions and assisting with organizing.
Additionally, all the guests were impressed by the hotel and restaurant appearance. Very modern, clean and stylish place.

Our stay at this 5-star hotel was exceptional. The atmosphere and setting made our business visit truly memorable. The service was outstanding in every aspect — professional, attentive, and personalized. From start to finish, the experience exceeded expectations, and we look forward to returning.
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
