Hotel Chiplakoff

Burgas


A 10-minute walk west of the centre, this hotel occupies an attractively restored art nouveau mansion, designed by the same architect who built the city’s grand train station. Rooms are large and contemporary in style, and the original spiral staircases have been retained; there’s no lift, however.
