3 Best Hotels in Puigcerda, The Pyrenees

A comfortable old favorite near Puigcerdà's emblematic lake, this spa hotel with old-fashioned decor consists of several salmon-pink spire-topped mansions arranged around a grassy central garden. It's situated two minutes from the bell tower and town market on foot, though it feels deceptively bucolic and removed from the action. 

This stately town-house complex at the edge of the lake has some of the most sought-after rooms and food in the Cerdanya Valley. Along with lots of peace and comfort (think rooms with plush white linens and soaker tubs), the hotel restaurant, L'Estany Senzone, is worth a visit even if you're not staying upstairs.
