Grand Hotel Therme

The Grand Hotel Therme is a new, luxurious, inspiring spa hotel in the village of Banya, near the Bansko ski resort (5 km). Built in an alpine style with natural materials - wood and stone, the hotel creates a sense of closeness to nature. This feeling, combined with the mineral water in the pools and the excellent spa center, makes a stay at the Grand Hotel Therme 5* a unique experience.

Banya is a village in southwest Bulgaria (approximately 100 miles from Sofia and about 137 miles from Thessaloniki), first settled by the Thracians around the 4th century BC due to its thermal springs. Just about 2.5 miles away is the town of Bansko, a popular base for hikers and climbers because of its proximity to the Rila, Pirin, and Rhodope Mountains. Several trails lead to Sandanski, Melnik, and the Roshen and Rila Monasteries (UNESCO World Heritage Sites). Additionally, there are numerous routes that can be explored by mountain bike or on horseback. The national park is rich in lakes, waterfalls, caves, and centuries-old trees (e.g., in Baikusheva Mura).
