Kempinski Hotel Grand Arena

The Kempinski’s on to a winner when it comes to location. The only ski-in, ski-out hotel in Bansko, it’s right opposite the gondola, so heading off to the slopes of a morning is easy-peasy. Plus, at the end of your ski day, you can swoosh right back to the boot room door.

White walls, curved windows and wooden balconies add traditional Balkan style, while inside it’s all about comfort and little touches of luxury – perfect for a relaxing stay. Speaking of relaxing, head to the Kempinski The Spa for all the zen you could wish for. Whether you take a dip in the pool, try out the snow room or head to the sauna, there’s a take-it-easy spot with your name on it. Why not round your me-time off with an energising cocktail from the vitamin bar?

When evening rolls around, the Kempinski’s well-known for the quality of its food. From fine dining by the log fire in the Come Prima restaurant to tucking into Japanese dishes in the Sushi Bar and Teppanyaki Grill or savouring themed buffets in the Gallery restaurant, your post-ski refuel’s well and truly covered. And there’s no better spot for a nightcap than the Sing Sing piano bar, with live music and an even livelier atmosphere to see you through till it’s time to hit the sack.
