Kempinski Hotel Grand Arena

About the venue

The Bulgarian resort town of Bansko is located at the foot of the Southwestern Pirin Mountains National Park, an area known for its lakes and dense pine forests.

In this fairy-tale setting, the chalet-inspired Grand Hotel offers luxurious Alpine-style rooms that overlook the town or the mountains. In Winter, skiing is the main draw and Kempinski guests are given a VIP Ski Pass that provides direct private access to the gondola, allowing them to skip the lift line and miximise their time on the slopes. Those who overdo it with the activities (in the summer, hiking is popular) can book a treatment at the award-winning Zalez Spa and Wellness Center. Guests can explore a wide variety of dining and cocktail options including Sushi Bar & Teppanyaki Grill, Come Prima Mediterranean Restaurant, La Veranda Bar & Lounge, a mountain-view terrace cafe and Sign Sing Piano Bar.
