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 chap who opens the door to the mother figure who presides over breakfast (incidentally the biggest and best in Bulgaria), to the wonderful snacks they offer you in the top-floor business center, you'll feel well and truly cosseted. It's an ugly, unprepossessing building -- a semicircular embrace on Narodno Sabranie square, but ideally placed -- right opposite are the pretty Parliament buildings, which are lit up at night, and a stone's throw farther lies the iconic Alexander Nefski Cathedral. The vibe is both more urban than the Crystal Palace and the Grand, with their leafy surroundings, and more down-home sociable. The reception area spills over into Flannagans, a hugely popular pub that attracts a raucous crowd of expats and Bulgarians on the weekends. The hotel was due to undergo extensive renovations at the end of 2006, with an additional floor being added and decor throughout being overhauled; design proposals looked great -- modern and sleek. Pay the extra 10€ ($13) for a Superior Room, identical to a standard but with parliament view -- ask for the highest floor available.
