Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel Vignemale
Chemin du Cirque, Gavarnie, Occitania, 65120, France
Built in 1902, this spacious châteaulike hotel has an imposing granite facade with steep rooflines reflecting the towering Hautes-Pyrénées to the south; sunny guest rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the rushing Gave de Gavarnie, and the breakfast terrace out front is an ideal place to start a day in the mountains. Views over the Cirque de Gavarnie and the 10,725-foot Marboré peak beyond are mesmerizing.
PROS
- rushing water music provided by the stream
- a tranquil sense of space
- historic mountaineer's haven
CONS
- some rooms small
- some rooms awaiting renovation
- overly large, ground-floor public spaces not conducive to relaxing
