Where to stay

With Razlog just down the road there is a good choice of accommodation, bars and restaurants, many in newly built apartment complexes or family run hotels.

Prices tend to be cheaper in Razlog than in Bansko (another 10km) down the road and there are two international golf courses with some pretty swanky onsite facilities nearby too.

Levels of luxury in Razlog cannot be compared to that found in Bansko so for those needing a high-end bed for the night, the Winter Capital Of the Balkans maybe a better, if not more expensive choice.

Chalet Jora

Rated as Number 1 "Speciality Lodging in Bansko" by TripAdvisor!

Join British couple Jay and Laura in their fabulous catered chalet in the heart of Bansko where they continue to rein at the top of Trip Advisor's list of "Speciality Lodging" options in resort!

And if you read the reviews, it looks like one of the most important things for their guests is excellent food prepared lovingly by Laura herself!

Chalet Isabella

Extremely popular catered chalet option in the heart of Bansko!

Chalet Isabella is only one of three catered chalets run by British couple Matt and Jenny who have been successfully operating in Bansko for over four years now.


Catered chalets tend to provide the most personal and bespoke type of ski holidays as almost every element is tailored to your own requirements. For this reason, Matt and Jenny tend to get booked up fast and even a "quiet season" sees them at 90% occupancy. If you are planning a group holiday to Bansko, we strongly suggest you consider talking to these too before you book anywhere else!

Hotel Tanne

Excellent four star in the centre of "New" Bansko close to the ski lifts!

In a resort that has been criticised for too much “modern construction”, it’s nice to see a new (ish) hotel with a great location that local architects must be proud of! The Tanne is a great four star which has been crafted to look well over 150 years old whilst at the same time having all the facilities you would expect from a good modern hotel operation.

Hotel Premier Luxury Mountain Resort *****

True luxury in one of Bansko's very best hotels!

The Premier Luxury Mountain Resort is located just outside the centre thriving Bansko and considering the short distance from the Gondola Station (5 min walk – 2 mins by courtesy transfer bus) it feels like you could be miles away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of this busy resort.


The resort has just been awarded Luxury Small Hotels of the World status which speaks volumes about what you can expect as a guest at the Premier; Luxury, service and attention to detail by the bucket load!

Matsurev Han Inn

Historic listed building offers value and tradition!

Matsurev Han Inn is located just off Pirin Street in Bansko as you walk away from the mountain to the centre of the old town.

Not only does Matsurev Han offer excellent food but also excellent value accommodation in the old house or the newly renovated apartments next door.

Dedo Pene Inn

The oldest accommodation and dining option in Bansko

The Dedo Pene Inn in the very centre of the old town offers fabulous authentic accommodation and food in the oldest Mehana in the area!

Excellent Value for food and accommodation makes Dedo Pene a must visit!

Hotel Megabor

The hotel offers pretty basic (but very clean and modern) accommodation. Located right in the heart of Old Bansko on Pirin Street, you can't get much more central... or better value for money!


Kandahar Complex ***

One of our favorites is the Kandahar complex that even has it's own creche and is above the very popular chill out bar/diner that is Harry's Bar. Ideal for families with young children.

Kempinski Grand Arena *****

Those wanting five-star treatment will find the Kempinski Grand Arena (the only true five-star hotel in Bansko) more than suitable.

Hotel Elegant Lux ****

The Elegant Lux and Elegant Spa hotels are located a stones throw away from each other in the center of “new” Bansko which means you are less than a five minute walk to the gondola cabins.

 

JJ Murphy's Lodge ***

Sofia's favourite Irish pub is now in Bansko and offers rooms and apartments above the pub!

Bansko Royal Towers ****

Bansko Royal Towers offers one of the best locations of any hotel in Bansko. It is situated directly across the river (linked by a short bridge) from the gondola station which means you can be heading up the lift within only a couple of minutes of leaving your spacious apartment.

White Peaks Hotel ****

This is an excellent four star apart hotel in a very quiet street so peace and relaxation are guaranteed by Daniel (a native Londoner) and his family who run the hotel and all it’s facilities themselves.

Vihren Palace ****

The Vihren Palace is one of Bansko's best hotels.

Located just over the road from the gondola car park you will find it hard to get much closer to the lifts.

Hotel Guinness ****

This stunningly designed apart-hotel is located less then four minutes from the Gondola station and is really something!
