MPM Hotel Guinness, Bansko, Bulgaria

· 5 minutes' walk to the Bansko gondola · ski school meeting point at the top of the Bansko gondola · 20 minutes' walk to the resort centre · opposite the ski bus stop

This modern hotel’s got everything you need for a ski hols, starting with its location – it’s right opposite the bus stop, only 5 minutes’ walk from the lifts, and there’s also a shuttle bus that takes you and your gear straight to the gondola station. Plus, you’ll be just on the outskirts of Bansko, so you can stroll into town for some lively après when you’re down from the slopes before heading back for a good night's sleep.

There’s plenty to do here when you’ve clicked out of the skis – go for a swim in the heated indoor pool, and it’s got a shallower bit for kids to splash around in. You’re covered if you want some spa time, with Finnish, salt and herbal saunas to dip in and out of, as well as a steam room, a hot tub and a plunge pool. And there's also a playroom, so little ones can get stuck in with some toys and drawing.

When it comes to mealtimes, it’s buffets all round. In the mornings, fill your boots fry-up style with eggs, bacon and sausages, or load your plate with pancakes if you’ve got a sweet tooth. And in the evenings, you’ll have loads of international dishes to choose from, before rounding off the day in a squishy armchair by the fire with a tipple from the lobby bar.
