Pliska, Bank headquarters building in Sofia, Bulgaria
Pliska is a 15-storey modernist office building at 87 Tsarigradsko Shose Boulevard, designed by architects Lozan Lozanov and Hristo Tsvetkov and completed in 1969. Its hotel years gave it a ground floor with reception, lobby bar and shops, two floors of restaurants, conference rooms and offices, 11 bedroom floors and a top-floor panoramic bar-restaurant. It has housed the head office of Central Cooperative Bank since April 2015.
Built in 1969 in modernist style by architects Lozan Lozanov and Hristo Tsvetkov, the 15-storey hotel Pliska served passengers of the national carrier BGA Balkan from the late 1980s. After the airline's bankruptcy in 2006, it was sold to Business Center Izgrev and later to Central Cooperative Bank, which bought it in March 2013. Following renovation, the bank's head office moved in in April 2015.
The Museum of Socialist Art, located 650 meters from the hotel, presents a collection of artifacts from Bulgaria's socialist period.
The hotel is located about 10 kilometers from Sofia Airport and has good connections to nearby bus and trolley stops. The location makes it easy to arrive by public transportation.
The building's top floor once held a panoramic bar-restaurant, part of the 1969 hotel layout that also included a ground-floor lobby bar and shops. From the late 1980s it served passengers of the national carrier BGA Balkan until the airline's 2006 bankruptcy.
