Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Iori

Editor's Note: This location is reported to be under new ownership and therefore this review may contain inaccuracies.

On one of the narrow streets of Vielha's old town, this delightful Japanese-style boutique hotel couples modern simplicity and design with an environmentally focused restaurant. Each room is done in neutrals, with good-quality linens on dark wood furniture; the dimmed lights and cheerful staff make it all very pleasant and calm. The focal point of the bar and restaurant area is a central open fireplace, and it's an excellent place to unwind after a day walking or sightseeing. The cuisine here is vegetarian based on a macrobiotic diet, providing an interesting alternative to the heavier traditional Pyrenean food.
