Every father must give his children both wings to fly and roots to return home. This was the case for the father of Ivo and Dani, whose names inspired the name of the hotel.

The two brothers studied and worked abroad for many years until they received an invitation from their father to start a business in Bansko.

This opportunity brought them back to Bulgaria and marked the beginning of IDA Hotel. Chalet IDA was built in 2004 in the traditional local style of wood and stone, just a 10-minute walk from the first lift station and 15 minutes from the old town and center.

For 20 years, it has cared for its guests with attention and a personal touch. It’s no coincidence that it remains the only hotel in Bansko that has neither changed owners nor closed its doors after so many years in operation.

This June, Bansko becomes a hub for digital nomads from all over the world 🌍
🎉 10 days of networking, inspiration, and mountain lifestyle!
