Modern Hotels and Attractions in Andorra

Hotels
 

Choose - which weather pools?

If you are doing winter sports, snowboarding and skiing in winter, and hiking in summer, you might not need extra exercise. On the other hands, you might want to relax in a pool after skiing, and to socialise with non-skiing family.

Hotels have outdoor pools for swimming in summer, other hotels have an indoor swimming pool for winter. On Tripadvisor you will find many hotels. You can specify swimming pools and other features. The only well known international hotel names I spotted were Novotel and Mercure. You can also look for apart(ment) hotels and suites if you have a special diet. And location, especially, in snow or bad weather if you want to walk to the shops. And parking, covered parking and free parking.

In the capital, two notable hotels are the Panorama where my family stayed, and the Eden Roc on the main shopping street.

In the square you see the Xmas tree, gold colour decorations of parcels and Santas, plus angels blowing trumpets, back left, and five point stars on poles.

 Do you want a top floor bedroom facing the centre, or looking up at the hills, or a city centre hotel so you can park and walk along the pedestrian only outdoor malls and piazzas?

Come back for more pictures and text soon!

Panorama Hotel


Two 

Tourist Sights

1 The Arched Bridge

Pont de la Margineda

This reminds me of the bridge at Mostar (which was destroyed in the war and rebuilt). 

This bridge  is medieval.


2 The Lookout Point

Mirador del Roc del Quer


3 The Caldea Spa

Thermal (heated) spring waters.

Restaurants open to the public even if not using the water. Automatic light shows on the hour. Theatrical performances can be booked.

You can book hotel and spa packages, spa centre and restaurant packages, and packages of the water centre plus other attractions around Andorra.
