Accor recently opened the first Novotel four-star hotel in Sofia, Bulgaria. Installed in a 15-storey glass building, the
178-room Novotel Sofia boasts an extraordinary view of Vitosha Mountain and its green peak rising to over 2,000 metres. It is designed by Atome Associés and featuring contemporary decoration and natural lighting. Each room also offers the latest in technology: free wireless broadband access, programmable air-conditioning and a flat-screen LCD television set with access to satellite channels,
plus a mini bar.
The first floor of the Novotel Sofia is dedicated to the Meeting@Novotel offer, with modern, spacious meeting areas covering a total of 400 square metres. The six rooms set aside for events can cater for 280 people altogether - or 160 guests for a sit-down wedding, for instance. The facilities also include the new modular Eureka meeting room that can be fully personalised and is designed to facilitate team working and brainstorming sessions. With its National Palace of Culture, a major exhibition and events venue, Sofia is an ideal destination for convention tourism.
"The location of the new Novotel Sofia is a valuable advantage and the hotel will very quickly become the venue of choice for foreign business travellers," said Vincent Dujardin, General Manager, Novotel Sofia.
For visitors keen to take advantage of spa treatments, the hotel has its own fitness space in the heart of the building, the In Balance centre, where guests can unwind in the steam baths and relaxation room.
