Grand Hotel Therme has been recognized by Luxury Lifestyle Awards as Best Luxury Spa Hotel in Europe for 2026. The recognition reflects the five-star wellness destination’s approach to hospitality, where mineral water, refined accommodation, diverse dining, and spa experiences come together in a setting shaped by Bulgaria’s natural surroundings.

Grand Hotel Therme is conceived as a destination centered on well-being, relaxation, and memorable stays. Its accommodation comprises 223 rooms, of which 13 are houses. They combine mountain-inspired style with a comfortable atmosphere suited to family vacations. The rooms bring together the comforts of home with attentive service, elegance, and a sense of authenticity.

Dining is another defining part of the Grand Hotel Therme experience. The property features 10 restaurants and bars, providing settings for everything from a quick breakfast between activities to an intimate dinner or an evening cocktail. The culinary offering emphasizes quality ingredients and distinctive flavors, while the beverage selection includes hot and cold drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, fresh juices, and other refreshments.

At the center of the hotel’s wellness identity is its spa complex, supplied with mineral water from a thermal spring located three kilometers from the village of Banya. The local springs have an average temperature of approximately 58°C, and the area has a long association with thermal bathing. Historic landmarks including an old Bulgarian bathhouse built in Roman style and a Turkish bath, or hamam, reflect the region’s centuries-old connection with spa traditions. At Grand Hotel Therme, this heritage is brought into a contemporary wellness setting through mineral water, clean regional air, and a diverse range of spa facilities.

“This recognition from Luxury Lifestyle Awards reflects the experience we seek to create at Grand Hotel Therme – one defined by thoughtful hospitality, restorative mineral water, comfortable surroundings, and time devoted to genuine well-being. Being named Best Luxury Spa Hotel in Europe for 2026 reinforces our focus on providing guests with a distinctive place to rest, dine, reconnect, and experience the thermal traditions of the region in a contemporary setting.”
