The Best Hotels Near Des Petits Pois Sont Rouges, by the Record

Rooms named after galaxies and constellations make sense here, because La Mongie sits in a low-light zone where the night sky earns it. This luxury boutique hotel sits directly across from the ski lift, with oversized windows, private balconies over the slopes, and a wellness area with Nordic baths and a sauna. The look is alpine lodge with a vintage lean: pale wood, midnight blue walls, retro armchairs, and tiled bathrooms with round mirrors.

Pau sits at the foot of the Pyrenees, where European nobility once came to take the mountain air, and this luxury hotel plays that geography shamelessly well, with a rose-filled park on one side and the Pyrenees on the other. Bright, modern rooms face one or the other, some with private balconies. There's a brasserie with a terrace, a light-flooded indoor pool, and a spa with a Turkish bath, all a short walk from the old château where Henry IV was born.

Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Gállego River and the peaks above it, which does a lot of the decorating for this stone-and-timber hotel in a medieval Pyrenean village. It's a year-round mountain retreat with a small spa, a garden pool, and a restaurant leaning into the region's larder. The slopes of Spain's largest ski resort are minutes away, though the place is set up equally well for people who just want to stare at a mountain.
