The interior of The Emporium Plovdiv – MGallery corresponds with the shape of an ancient Forum – a place where modernity, premium quality and smart technology meet the original historic features of the building. The sophisticated luxury of the MGallery brand is emphasized by a skilful combination of modern materials, typical of the building, and recognizable ancient Forum motifs in a modern interpretation: rough background with neat brass accents, stucco, elegant gold lamps, natural wood, sophisticated paintings against a background of restrained minimalism.
A perfect mix of tradition and modernity, the brand-new The Emporium Plovdiv – MGallery hotel offers intimate relaxation and fitness zones, helping guests to keep the body and soul in balance in refined settings for absolute tranquillity.

The interior design was commissioned to Sundukovy Sisters S+S, one of the fastest growing and creative architectural studios in the hospitality industry and winners of the Designers of the year 2018 title awarded by The Gold Key Awards, New York.
