A Bulgarian hotel has earned the recommendation of Forbes, the US business magazine addressing affluent readers. In its section on Eastern Europe's extravagant getaways, the magazine features Yastrebets Wellness & Spa hotel in Borovets winter resort.
The blurb features the hotel as the best year-round destination, where one can ski in winter, play tennis in March, fish in summer and hunt in autumn.
The luxury hotel is the sole Bulgarian hotel that is part of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World international chain.
Its interior is furnished using only natural materials – oak furniture, silk, cotton. It has a 15m swimming pool, a fitness centre and Technogym apparatus, courts for volleyball, tennis and football, as well as an open-air playground, according to its website.
The magazine's full list can be read on its website.
