Oborishte 63 The Art Boutique Hotel

Oborishte 63 The Art Boutique Hotel is a small property of about nine rooms in a renovated 1930 building at Oborishte Street 63, in the tree-lined Oborishte neighbourhood of Sofia, near Borisova Gradina. The district is known for interwar architecture, embassies, galleries and independent cafes, and is considered one of the most pleasant residential quarters of the Bulgarian capital. The Eagle Bridge, the Sofia University campus and the Doctors' Garden are within a short walk, the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral is roughly fifteen minutes away on foot, and Joliot-Curie and Sofia University metro stations provide transport to the airport and the centre. The art-boutique concept points to a decor with artwork and individual character, and the 1930s building gives the interior the proportions and details typical of Sofia's early modern architecture. Rooms are offered as Double, Twin and Family Rooms with air conditioning and Wi-Fi, and with only nine rooms the atmosphere is personal and quiet. A restaurant or breakfast room serves the morning meal, and the surrounding streets offer coffee shops, bakeries and restaurants in the Oborishte and Lozenets directions. There is no spa or pool, since the property's attraction is its intimacy, its location and its design. Service is small-scale and attentive, suited to couples, art and architecture enthusiasts, and business visitors who prefer a boutique stay in the Bulgarian capital to a chain hotel. Typical rates run from about EUR 70 to EUR 150 per night, and with only nine rooms availability in spring and autumn can be tight, so booking ahead is sensible. The street is leafy and calm compared with the main boulevards, though trams and traffic on nearby arteries are audible in places. Guests should check bedding and room layouts directly, as older buildings vary in size.
