An imposing hotel in an excellent location opposite the main ski gondola. If you are skiing, this hotel is hard to beat with it's own serviced boot room in the basement and you can purchase a VIP lift pass which allows you to skip the infamous Bansko queues (it costs extra but will save you 20mins+ queuing in the mornings). It's also effectively ski-in/ski-out...you can ski all the way down the ski road to the boot room entrance. The other major plus points are a very good car valet service and the fabulous amenities at the hotel which includes: heated indoor and outdoor pools with jacuzzis, a spacious thermal spa area with multiple saunas, steam room, infrared room and novelty snow room (the thermal spa area opens from 9am to 9pm). There's also a good size gym. On the negative side was our bedroom. Whilst it was extremely spacious for a ski resort room, it was very dated, had uncomfortable beds, and a non-functioning air conditioning unit. At night, there's live music in the relaxing lobby bar with its open fire. Breakfast consisted of a large buffet with an egg/pancake station for cooked-to-order options. All things considered, this has to be one of the best places to base yourself if you are skiing in Bansko.

I would like to thank the front desk manager Madam Veselina Yakubova, the restaurant manager Mr. Boyan Boyanov, the restaurant staff Madam Bianca Obetsavova, Mr. Athanasios Koutsouris, Mr. Mikhail Zvakin. I would also like to thank Madam Sara Topuzovska from the concierge service and Madam Olga Tonka from the lobby bar for their wonderful hospitality during my accommodation at Kempinski Hotel Grand Arena Bansko.

For saying it is supposed to be a 5 star hotel and showed it in the cost it was awful. This was the second year we had stayed here but their standards had definitely dropped. The bed was not changed for 10 days and that was because we complained. We pulled back the bottom sheet to discover long black hair it was disgusting. We had to wash our own cups each night We asked for larger bath robes to find the bath robes replaced and placed folded on the end of the bed where the same ones as the one that belonged to me still had the same make up stain on! We normally got a pot of honey or jam on leaving but not this year! On the plus side the breakfast was amazing along with the views.

Everything is good, we stayed there 3 times. Only on Friday and Saturday there are a lot of people and there is not enough space for everyone in the restaurant, book in advance!

Amazing service!
Great food, kind staff and great food.
I highly recommend the hotel!
The spa was one of the best I have visited.
The massage therapist was very professional and the spa environment was really relaxing!

The hotel 1 minute of waking from the funicular.

First of all, I must mention the high level of service at the reception - everyone is very kind and pleasant and helpful. The rooms are large, very clean, the air and the view from the balcony is amazing. The beds are comfortable, there is both a shower and a bathtub. The cleaners come twice a day, there is no shortage of toiletries. The spa is excellent. Things to improve: The shower has no handle to hold onto to prevent falls. It would also be nice if there was also a shower that could be pulled out and not just hung. The food is not the most varied for a 5 star hotel. There is no coffee machine and it feels unpleasant to rush the waiters to bring a refill of coffee There are almost no sockets in the room, especially the lack of a socket in the bathroom - not even one. That way, if I brought a hair dryer from home or electrical appliance that I want to use, such as an electric brush or a shaver, it's not possible. And in the room itself there are not enough sockets even if you want to charge electrical appliances and at the same time prepare a drink. Most importantly - on the site it states that there is air conditioning in the rooms. In practice the central air conditioning controlled by the hotel. It was impossible to set the temperature to less than 21 degrees (we checked with the staff), and the hotel offered to open the window as a solution, but then smoke entered the room from the neighboring balconies, so the solution is less suitable.

We were 4 nights at the hotel and really liked the stay.
The service of the staff at the hotel is excellent, from the reception to the spa, everyone is very respectful of the customers.
I would like to especially mention the employee named Tsvetelina, charming, always with a pleasant smile and great kindness.
Special thanks to you Ms. Tsvetelina!!!
The food in the restaurants is excellent and the service... we already said.
Thank you, we will be happy to return to this hotel.
There are not enough electrical outlets in the room, these days we all have cell phones, computers, tablets, electric toothbrushes and more....

My wife and I recently stayed at the Kempinski Hotel in Bansko, and while most of the experience was exceptional, we traveled after our wedding and in the room there was a bottle of bubbly wine and chocolate that made our day!

First, the breakfast was outstanding—easily a 10/10. The egg station was a standout, with fresh and perfectly prepared dishes each morning. The variety and quality were excellent.

We were served by Darko during dinner, and he was truly exceptional. His wine recommendations were spot-on, and he made our dining experience special. Props to him for his impeccable service.

The reception was welcoming and efficient, and the pool area was fantastic—well-maintained and the perfect spot to relax.

However, one thing that bothered us was the lack of enforcement of the restaurant’s dress code. While there is a policy in place, we noticed people dining in shorts, and worse, some were even blowing their noses at the tables, but everything else was exceptional.

My most favorite hotel in Bansko with great location and service. The staff is super friendly and the hotel has multiple dining options and wonderful SPA. It is super convenient for skiing in the winter with the possibility to buy a VIP pass and skip the lines for the gondola ski lift.
