Hôtel-Restaurant Astérides-Sacca

Parc National des Pyrénées


Three adjoining buildings, each with an elegant balcony-clad façade, set the stage for a comfy overnight at this centrally located option. Rooms are a mishmash of styles; the best are wood-panelled chambers, which lend an Alpine feel. Others are a touch on the business bland side. There's a sauna and a decent restaurant (mains €12 to €19).
