Set in the historic centre of Veliko Tarnovo, Grand Hotel Yantra occupies a characterful building overlooking some of the city’s most important landmarks. Its elevated position provides panoramic views towards Tsarevets Fortress, Trapezitsa Hill and the old town, while the traditional craft shops of Samovodska Charshia are close by. The four-star hotel combines a historic setting with comfortable accommodation, good dining and an extensive wellness centre.
Rooms are traditionally styled and include air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, TV, minibar, desk and private bathroom. Twin Rooms with Old Town View offer either a double bed or separate beds and overlook the historic quarter, while Twin Rooms with Tsarevets View are particularly worth considering for their impressive outlook towards the fortress.
For additional space, the hotel also offers VIP Apartments and a Presidential Suite, with the latter featuring a panoramic terrace overlooking Tsarevets, Trapezitsa and Arbanasi.
The panoramic Yantra Restaurant serves Bulgarian and international cuisine accompanied by excellent views towards Tsarevets Fortress. The hotel also has the Trapezitsa panoramic terrace, a Viennese-style pastry shop serving coffee and desserts, and a lobby bar for drinks.
Grand Hotel Yantra is particularly well placed for exploring Veliko Tarnovo on foot. The historic Samovodska Charshia craftsmen’s quarter is close by, while the magnificent Tsarevets Fortress, once the political and spiritual centre of the Second Bulgarian Empire, is within easy reach.
The hotel’s position also means some rooms enjoy superb views towards Tsarevets, particularly atmospheric when the fortress is illuminated in the evening.
The location really makes this hotel. Staying in the historic heart of Veliko Tarnovo, with views towards Tsarevets Fortress, gives clients a real sense of place and makes it easy to explore the old town independently.
