Restored 19th-century mansion in Plovdiv Old Town offering authentic Bulgarian National Revival experience. Traditional architecture, antique furnishings, and modern comfort blend seamlessly. Intimate restaurant serves regional specialties in historic courtyard.

Hotel Residence Hebros occupies a meticulously restored 19th-century Bulgarian National Revival mansion in the heart of Plovdiv's Old Town, one of the best-preserved historic districts in southeastern Europe. The property stands on Konstantin Stoilov Street, a cobblestoned lane enclosed by brightly painted Revival-era houses, within a short walk of the Ancient Theatre of Philippopolis, the Ethnographic Museum, and the Nebet Tepe archaeological complex.

The building's interior retains hand-carved wooden ceilings, period antique furniture, decorative floor tiles, and arched window frames characteristic of the National Revival style. The hotel holds recognition from Historic Hotels of Europe, acknowledging the authenticity of its conservation approach. Rooms number nine standard doubles and two apartments; each is individually furnished with genuine antiques and period textiles while modern amenities — free Wi-Fi, flat-screen television — are integrated discreetly. Several rooms feature a claw-foot bathtub positioned in the main bedroom space, offering an immersive period atmosphere.

The in-house restaurant, regarded as one of Plovdiv's finest dining destinations, occupies a series of intimate rooms and a courtyard within the historic structure. The menu centers on refined Bulgarian and regional cuisine with an emphasis on slow-cooked dishes, local game, and seasonal produce. The wine list exceeds 400 labels, with a dedicated sommelier available to guide selections. Dining at Hebros is widely regarded as a destination experience in its own right, drawing Plovdiv residents as well as hotel guests.

Breakfast is served daily and is typically included in room rates. The intimate scale of the hotel ensures individualized attention; the reception team is knowledgeable about the Old Town's cultural calendar and can arrange private guides and onward travel.
