Sport Hotel Hermitage & Spa.

Perched at 1,850 meters in the heart of Soldeu, this is the Pyrenees’ most ambitious mountain retreat. The hotel offers genuine ski-in/ski-out access to the Grandvalira slopes, but its appeal extends well beyond the winter season. The interiors strike a balance between high-altitude rustic and modern luxury, featuring 135 suites that all open onto private terraces with mountain views. The standout feature is the 5,000-square-meter Sport Wellness Mountain Spa, a glass-fronted sanctuary spread over five floors with outdoor hydrotherapy baths overlooking the peaks. Dining is equally elevated, headlined by Francis Paniego’s Michelin-starred Ibaya and high-end Japanese cuisine at Koy Hermitage. It is a rare alpine destination that manages to feel both grand and intimately connected to its rugged surroundings.
