Beside Sofia’s National Assembly and Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, Sense Hotel Sofia uses a glass-and-stone contemporary façade to frame one of the capital’s most monumental settings. Rooms are restrained in timber, leather and neutral textiles, with broad windows bringing the cathedral domes and city rooftops into view. The rooftop bar and restaurant provide the hotel’s most dramatic public space. Gastro Bar offers a more informal ground-floor setting. An indoor pool, fitness room and spa sit below, creating a quieter counterpoint to the civic architecture immediately outside.
