“Communities need places that bring people together - places for ideas, culture, and inspiration. That was precisely the vision behind DOT Sofia and KOMAT. Not simply a hotel and a restaurant, but an attempt to bring together everything that drives society forward: creativity, meaningful conversations, human connection, and a sense of belonging. Because, ultimately, success is not only about what you build, but about what you make possible.”

This is how Dr. Panco Georgiev described the idea behind DOT Sofia in a conversation with Albena Taneva and Iliyan Lyubomirov from" The Flying People".

The inspiring feature series, which introduces the audience of Bulgaria’s popular morning show "Na Kafe" to remarkable personalities and visionaries, explored the story behind DOT Sofia - from a distant dream to a landmark destination in the historic Women’s Market district.

At the heart of the hotel’s identity lies The DOT Sofia Art Collection, featuring more than 200 works by contemporary Bulgarian artists. Panco Georgiev’s passion for Bulgarian art began early in life. Growing up surrounded by artworks in his family home, he was also deeply influenced by time spent creating alongside the artistic family of his aunt Krasi and her husband, Swiss artist Dadi Wirz. Today, Wirz’s neon artwork "Silserli" is the only international piece included in The DOT Sofia Art Collection.

Visitors can experience "Silserli" - named after a traditional bread roll from the Basel region of Switzerland - at KOMAT Restaurant, where art meets hospitality and authentic cuisine through creative collaborations, themed events, and vibrant evenings shared with artists and cultural creators.

And what does the future of DOT Sofia look like?
