Dear friends, what can we tell you about the Orbel Hotel? The architecture, the rooms, the atmosphere, the mineral water – just look at the photos. But let us draw your attention to those two or three things that you cannot see but will feel if you trust us and visit our hotel.
Everyone needs to take time for themselves, to “charge the batteries” or just to pamper themselves a little – with friends, colleagues or just with family.
After the madness of the city here you will be able to hear your thoughts, draw energy from the mountains and meet face to face Pirin, Rila and Rhodope.
The team that we gradually created at Orbel is smiling and dedicated to their work, because we are well aware of how valuable your time spent on vacation
