Radisson SAS Grand Hotel

This hotel is certainly not grand, but when it comes to personal, sincere service, the Radisson is a hands-down winner -- from the man who opens the door to the mother figure who presides over breakfast (incidentally the biggest and best in Bulgaria), to the wonderful snacks offered in the top-floor business center, you'll feel well and truly pampered. The facility, however, is an ugly, semicircular building on Narodno Sabranie square, but ideally placed: The pretty Parliament buildings, which are lit up at night, are opposite and the iconic Alexander Nevski Cathedral is a little farther beyond that. The reception area spills over into Flannagan's, a popular pub that attracts a raucous crowd of expats and Bulgarians on weekends. Pay the extra 10€ ($13) for a superior room, identical to a standard but with a Parliament view. Tip: Ask for the highest floor available.
