After the Casa de la Vall and the odd Romanesque church, the 1940 Hotel Pyrénées ranks among Andorra's most antique buildings. But its 70 rooms have been smartly freshened up, with cream-coloured décor; those at the back are quietest. A pool adorns the parking (€14) rooftop, while the restaurant serves Catalan, French and Spanish dishes (€19 to €27) beneath chandeliers.
