Fully renovated Hotel Alpinist (UC Malyovitsa) is located right on Mecha Polyana and offers a panoramic view of Malyovitsa Peak. In the spacious lobby bar with an impressive view, you’ll find a rich selection of hot, alcoholic, and non-alcoholic drinks, and along its walls you can explore the history of Bulgarian mountaineering. The idea for this unique lobby bar + museum concept was born during the building’s major renovation in 2022, and judging by our guests’ feedback, it has been more than successful.

To make the experience complete, the space is arranged to combine coziness and functionality — with comfortable seating, a warm atmosphere, and carefully selected details that complement the mountain spirit. The lobby bar is perfect both for a morning coffee before a hike and for a quiet evening after skiing or a long day in the mountains. In winter, you’ll be welcomed by pleasant warmth and calm; in summer — by cool comfort and a sense of closeness to nature, which begins literally at the hotel’s doorstep.

The museum section tells the story of the people and events that left a mark on Bulgarian mountaineering, turning every visit into a small journey through history. This way, the lobby bar is not just a place for a drink, but a meeting point between tradition and modern comfort — a space where conversations come easily and the view of the majestic slopes stays with you long after. Whether you’ve come for an active getaway or a complete break from everyday life, Hotel Alpinist offers exactly that true mountain feeling people seek in Malyovitsa.
