The Best Hotels Near Reccapolis, by the Record

The gondola station is literally part of the building, which tells you everything about priorities here. This ski-in, ski-out resort in Soldeu sits at the base of the Grandvalira slopes, with alpine rooms running to whirlpool baths and balconies, three floors of spa, and a kids' club that actually supervises children. It holds a Michelin Key. Mornings open with a generous breakfast buffet, and the mountain is right there when you finish.

The rooms here are built almost entirely from pinus nigra, a mountain pine that only grows at the highest Andorran elevations, and the effect is less "rustic lodge" than "sculpture carved from a single golden block." This LEED-certified boutique hotel sits just off the main plaza in Escaldes-Engordany, with low-slung beds, copper bathroom lamps, and a spa with Finnish sauna for when the slopes have done their work. It holds a Michelin Key.

A former winery co-op turned hotel in the Catalan corner of France, Domaine Riberach sits right under Bélesta's medieval castle with an eco-lodge sensibility and an architect's eye, which explains both the modernist furniture and the very articulated lamps. The working vineyard is still on-site, and the natural wine shop means checkout takes longer than expected. There's also a spa and three restaurants, from a gastronomic room down to a barbecue pop-up.
