4- and 5-star hotels in Plovdiv
This shortlist gathers the 4- and 5-star hotels we list in Plovdiv, from a 5-star a short walk from the centre to a 4-star spa resort outside the city. It suits couples, families and business travellers who want a rated hotel in or near Plovdiv.
Staying in Plovdiv
Plovdiv is a lively cultural and economic centre, known for its long pedestrian main street, the Kapana creative district and a packed calendar of festivals and exhibitions. It served as European Capital of Culture in 2019, which left behind renovated public spaces, galleries and venues, and it makes a practical base for the Thracian Valley, the Rhodope foothills and nearby spa and wine regions.
The hotels on this list sit in different parts of the city and just outside it. Hotel Gallery 37, Vizualiza Residence Hotel By Hmg, HillHouse Plovdiv and Residence City Garden have addresses close to the centre, while The Emporium Hotel Plovdiv MGallery Collection, Royal Hotel Plovdiv, Hotel Jägerhof, ESTE PARK HOTEL, Best Western Premier Plovdiv Hills, Doubletree By Hilton Plovdiv Center, Holiday Inn Plovdiv by IHG and Radisson Hotel Plovdiv lie a little further out. Landmark Creek Hotel and Wellness Plovdiv, Park & Spa Hotel Markovo and Boutique Complex Trakiets are the most removed from the centre. Couples and short-break visitors may prefer the central addresses, families the properties with family rooms and pools, and business travellers the larger hotels with business centres and fitness facilities.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Plovdiv is served by Plovdiv Airport, which handles a limited number of seasonal and charter flights; many travellers arrive via connecting flights or by land from other Bulgarian cities. The city lies on a major railway line and has regular train and bus connections from across the country, with the main railway station and bus station located close to the centre. By road, Plovdiv is reached via the Trakia motorway. Within the city, the flat central area is easy to explore on foot, especially the main pedestrian street, Kapana and the Old Town. Public transport includes buses, trolleybuses and trams, and taxis are widely available. Parking in the centre can be limited, so many hotels offer or arrange parking.
When to go
Spring and autumn are generally the most comfortable seasons for sightseeing, with mild temperatures and the city's parks and outdoor sites in good condition. Summer can be hot, but it is also when many festivals, open-air concerts and events take place. Winter is colder, with occasional snow, though the Christmas markets and indoor cultural programme continue. Rain is possible throughout the year, with slightly wetter conditions in late spring and early summer.
