The Exterior Of The Hotel

Boutique Hotel Boris Palace is in a peach-colored building on one of the beautiful cobblestone streets in Old Plovdiv. The outside of the hotel has white details that give it a classic and elegant look. It fits in perfectly with the historic feel of the area.

One of the nicest features is the balcony above the main entrance. It has an original metal railing and amazing views over the city. Whether you’re having coffee in the morning or relaxing in the evening, it’s the perfect place to enjoy the view. This balcony is part of the suite, room number 302.

There are comfy leather chairs where you can just sit back and relax. The walls have beautiful painted details, and the fancy curtains add a nice touch. The reception desk, with its marble top and antique wood, fits perfectly with the whole vibe.

Check-in starts at 2 pm. Just ring the bell at the door and someone will come to let you in. Our check-in was super smooth, and they quickly showed us to our room.

In front of the sofa, there is a marble coffee table that’s just right for your morning coffee as you enjoy the beautiful view from the windows.

Bathroom

The bathroom in the luxury suite at Boutique Hotel Boris Palace feels like a work of art. What really makes it stand out are the hand-painted glass doors and the big hand-painted windows. They add color and beauty and fill the room with natural light.

Bathroom features:

• Hand-painted glass door

When you step through the painted glass door with the girl and wings, you’ll see a large bathtub. It’s a great spot to take a long bath. The tub sits right under a hand-painted mural window, so you can enjoy the beautiful artwork and the view. The detailed tiles around the bathroom add a nice touch.

In addition to its artistic features, the bathroom is well-equipped with everything you might need. A blow dryer is on hand, and there’s a selection of shampoo, shower gel and soap. Each detail has been carefully considered to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

The seating area is separated from the bedroom with a small marble staircase and a metal railing in between. There’s also a hallway that gives you views of the city on one side and a big mirror on the other. The way the space is set up gives the suite more room and lets in lots of natural light.

When you step into the spacious bedroom of the luxury suite with panoramic view, you’ll go through another hand-painted glass door. The room has a big, very comfortable bed with great pillows. There’s plenty of space around it, so it’s easy to settle in and feel comfortable.

You’ll also find a leather bench at the foot of the bed where you can sit while putting on shoes, and it also holds extra pillows and blankets.

Natural light fills the room from all the windows, but you can pull the curtains closed if you want. The windows offer nice views and come with mosquito nets, so you can open them without worries.

There’s a sitting area with a leather chair and a large mirror that’s perfect for getting ready or doing your makeup. The mirror also helps the room feel bigger.

Studio With A Balcony

Although I stayed in the luxury suite with a panoramic view for three nights, I had the chance to check out the studio as well. The studio has its own private balcony with a nice view of the city (room number 302). The studio rooms at Boutique Hotel Boris Palace have comfortable beds, blackout blinds, and free Wi-Fi.

This studio featured:

• 322sqft (30 m²)
• Unlimited free WiFi
• Comfortable bed
• Seating area with leather chairs
• Makeup mirror with a chair
• Balcony with city view
• Air conditioning
• Ensuite bathroom with a shower
• Free toiletries

This room is comfortable and has a classic style. It has a sitting area with leather chairs and a coffee table. There is also a makeup table with a big mirror and a chair. The room is decorated with elegant furniture and warm colors. Whether you stay for a short time or longer, you’ll find everything you need to feel comfortable and enjoy your stay.

Inside the studio, you’ll find a comfy bed and a nice seating area. There are small details on the walls and artwork that make the room special. It’s a perfect spot to rest after exploring Plovdiv.

One of the best parts is the private balcony. It’s a great spot to have your morning coffee or an evening drink while looking out over the streets and rooftops of Old Plovdiv. The balcony has a detailed metal railing. The doors let in plenty of natural light, which is great for getting ready or taking photos. Whether you’re inside or outside, this studio with a balcony makes your stay even better.

Double or twin room

Some of the double or twin rooms are located in the lower part of the hotel, and I wouldn’t recommend booking them. A few don’t have windows, which can make the room feel dark and closed off. Luckily, there are two much better options. The studio and the luxury suite with a panoramic view are both bright, comfortable, and a lot more enjoyable to stay in.
