1. Hotel Rila, Borovets

The most established hotel in Borovets and consistently the top-rated in the region. Hotel Rila offers a large spa, reliable breakfast buffet, and a ski-in ski-out location that becomes a peaceful mountain base in the warmer months. Rooms are clean and well-maintained — nothing flashy, but dependable. If you want a comfortable night's sleep after a long day at the track, this is the safest bet.

2. Hotel Yastrebets Wellness & Spa, Borovets — Premium

The highest-rated hotel in the area and the best spa experience you'll find near A1 Motor Park. Mountain views from the rooms, a serious wellness centre, and a notch above in service quality. The price point is higher than Hotel Rila, but if you're planning a multi-day stay or want proper post-track recovery facilities, Yastrebets is worth the premium.

3. Hotel Grand Samokov, Samokov — Best Location

The closest proper hotel to the circuit. Located in Samokov city centre, Hotel Grand Samokov gives you the shortest commute to the track — about 10 minutes via the E79. It includes an indoor pool, solid breakfast, and all the basics you need. Not as polished as the Borovets options, but the location advantage is hard to beat when you want to be trackside early.

4. Hotel Sonata, Samokov — Budget Pick

The best value option in Samokov. Hotel Sonata is a smaller property with friendly staff, clean rooms, and a small spa — all at a fraction of the Borovets prices. It consistently punches above its weight in reviews. If you're prioritizing budget and don't need a resort experience, this is the one.

5. Orehite Guest House — For Trailer & Equipment

A rural guest house on the road between Samokov and Borovets. What makes Orehite special: space. If you're bringing a race car on a trailer or need to park oversized vehicles and equipment, this is your best option. The setting is quiet, the hospitality is genuine Bulgarian countryside warmth, and you won't find a more relaxed base for a race weekend.

Booking Tips

  • Book early for peak season (April–October). A1 Motor Park has 23 events in 2026 — popular weekends fill up fast.
  • Samokov is closest to the track — 8 km, about 10 minutes.
  • Borovets has more dining and nightlife — better if you're making a weekend of it.
  • Govedarci (Everwood) is the sweet spot — 15 km from the circuit, with restaurant and spa on-site.
  • All options listed have parking, including space for larger vehicles and trailers.
  • Consider booking two nights if you're travelling from abroad — one night before, one after. The mountain air is worth the extra morning.
