Summer 2026 in the Rhodopes: every Saturday, outdoor cinema with popcorn, drinks, and mountain coolness, and every Thursday, DJ party nights. Long summer nights by the fire, music, conversations until sunrise, and a real feeling of relaxation in nature.
St. Nicholas weekend at Hotel Gela, Dec 5-7: live Rhodope music, traditional roasted carp, ceremonial bread, and DJ Prazlux. Escape to the mountains.
After dinner, it’s time to turn up the volume. Whether it’s cocktails, a celebration, or a cozy evening with friends, our nighttime soundtrack sets the tone for joy and connection. From laid-back grooves to timeless dancefloor classics, the right track at the right moment can shift the whole night.
Nestled in the heart of the majestic Rhodope Mountains, our hotel is a gateway to one of Bulgaria’s richest cultural treasures. Surrounded by greenery, with views of ancient forests and mountain peaks, we are located near the Ilinden region, home to the world-renowned Festival of the 100 Bagpipes.
During the day, our lounge carries a carefully curated blend of soft acoustic and ambient music. These gentle sounds don’t demand your attention, they accompany you. They breathe with the mountain.
On March 8, Hotel Gela invites you to a special edition of IN THE CLUB – a night dedicated entirely to women.
