Holiday Village Diplomat - Gloria Palace  

Set at the foot of Vitosha Mountain in the Gorna Bania quarter, this sports-and-recreation retreat sits in a 2.5 ha park near mineral springs. About 7 km (4.7 miles) from Sofia city centre and 12 miles from Sofia Airport, it’s a quick drive to Boyana Church and the National Museum of History. Family-friendly and pet-friendly, the complex includes a holiday village with villas and hotel rooms overlooking the mountain.

Rooms and suites are air-conditioned and come with minibars, desks and cable TV; some rooms offer seating areas and bathtubs. The holiday-village villas have two floors, private patios, living rooms with TV and minibars, and upstairs bedrooms. Interiors lean cozy and comfortable, with park and mountain views that make for easy, relaxed stays.

Big on recreation: outdoor pool and poolside bar, outdoor tennis courts, squash club, fitness centre, sauna and on-site massage options. Free Wi‑Fi throughout and free private parking on site. There’s a picnic and barbecue area, a grocery shop a short walk away, tour desk and car rental assistance—wake up to mountain mornings and hit the courts the same day.

Conference hall and event services for meetings, weddings and receptions. Express check-in/check-out, safes in rooms, laundry/dry-cleaning and an airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

On-site restaurant serves cooked-to-order breakfasts daily (fee applies), a coffee shop for snacks and a bar and poolside bar for drinks. Limited room service is also available.
