4- and 5-star hotels in Burgas
This shortlist covers the 4- and 5-star hotels in Burgas, from the city centre around the Sea Garden to the Sarafovo and Sunny Beach areas. It is for travellers deciding where to base themselves for a beach stay, a city break or a family holiday on Bulgaria's Black Sea coast.
Staying in Burgas
Burgas has been a crossroads of Thracian, Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman cultures, and archaeological remains are scattered throughout the area. The centre mixes 19th- and 20th-century architecture, with the Regional Historical Museum and the Ethnographic Museum, while the Sea Garden runs along the coast as the city's main gathering place for walks and open-air concerts. The Sand Sculpture Festival and the Burgas International Film Festival give the summer calendar its shape.
The listed hotels sit in three different parts of the area. Hotel Residence Promenade, Villa Promenade, Joy Apartment Burgas Center Private Parking, Primoretz Grand Hotel & SPA and Hotel Bulgaria Burgas are all in central Burgas, between 0.7 km and 1.6 km from the centre. Burgas Beach Resort Apartments and Villa Aqua Family Hotel lie at 7.5 km and 7.7 km, the first in Sarafovo near the airport. The remainder are in Sunny Beach, 27.5 km to 29.3 km away. The centre suits couples and short breaks, Sarafovo suits fly-in stays, Sunny Beach suits families.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Burgas Airport (BOJ) is about 10 km northeast of the city centre and handles flights from various European cities. From the airport you can take a taxi or a public bus, which runs regularly between the airport and the city. The city is also reachable by train and bus from other Bulgarian cities, with the central railway and bus stations located near the port. Within Burgas, public buses and trolleybuses serve most areas, and taxis are readily available. The city centre is compact enough to explore on foot, especially around the Sea Garden and the main pedestrian streets.
When to go
The best time to visit Burgas is from late spring to early autumn, when the weather is warm and many events take place. The Burgas Sand Sculpture Festival runs from July to September, and the Sea Garden hosts concerts and performances. Summer also brings a lively atmosphere to the nearby beaches and resorts, including Sunny Beach. Winters are generally milder than inland Bulgaria but can be windy and damp, so they suit city sightseeing more than beach time.
