Luxury 4 star Hotel mountain retreat in the Pyrenees, Spain

The snow capped peaks of the Pyrenees, the clear blue skies and the green luxuriant valley of Val d'Aran is the setting for this Parador.
Parador de Arties
The Parador is of recent construction using the local style of architecture.

The site is that of the House of D. Gaspar de Portola whose claim to fame is the discover of California.

The design has a steeply sloping roof so that a heavy weight of snow cannot accumulate. This results in the bedrooms having 'dormer' windows looking out onto the roof. The traditional mountain design is continued in the wooden beams being featured in the bedrooms.
Parador de Arties
The lounges in the hotel are spacious and tastefully decorated among which the Salon Chimenea particularly stands out.

The restaurant features the specialties of the region which here are: "olla aranesa" which is a local version of a stew;
"trucha a la llosa" a fish dish made with local trout;
"civet de jabalí" which translates as jugged wild boar;
"pescajus de Arties" a local delicacy;
This Parador has a total of thirty eight twin bedrooms, nine double bedrooms, three suites and seven duplex rooms, all with satellite TV, telephone and mini bar.
