This is an ideal location to take part in wintersports, water sports, adventure and outdoor activities as well as tourist visits and exploring the Pyrenean culture.
Parts of the hotel date back to 1470. The current buildings have been designed to blend in to their surroundings using materials typical of the Pyrenean architecture (stone, timber and slate). El Privilegio first opened in August 2002, with just five rooms but has gradually been extended to 25. The extension works are conceived to mix old and new, interior and exterior. Every room is different although they share the same soft lighting and the subtle shades in their décor.
In the old Abbey building, bare stone walls or loft ceilings add a rustic touch to some of the rooms which blend easily with the modern décor. All rooms have views to the Pyrenees and the nearby lake. The furniture combines rustic style with a modern design as well as a feeling of warmth and simplicity making the best of the interior and exterior lights.
There are now 19 double rooms, 4 junior suites (2 with hydro-massage baths), the Abadia suite (2 rooms, plus lounge, with a jacuzzi) and the massive El Privilegio suite which occupies the top floor and has its own private access. One junior suite and one double room have wheelchair access.
The hotel now has a luxurious lounge, bar, restaurant and ski-room. In 2004 they opened their spa, with aromatherapy, massage, mud therapy, dynamic swimming pool and other health and therapeutic treatments.
Restaurant:
The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The cuisine is modern and uses fresh seasonal ingredients. Breakfast is a buffet. For lunch and dinner there is a choice of set menu or a la carte. They also provide picnic lunches for those planning to be out in the mountains all day.A Word From the Owner:
"We know there are many many hotels, and there is nothing new under the sun. We like to think our unique difference is our treatment of our guests. Our aim is a satisfied customer, so we will do our utmost for you from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. You may be in a four star hotel, but the service is personal."Hotel Amenities:
