Hotel Palarine, Arinsal, Andorra

• The hotel is situated in the picturesque village of Erts, with the Arinsal village centre and gondola only 5 minutes' drive away by the free shuttle bus or the hotel shuttle. The complimentary hotel shuttle also includes Grandvalira and Arcalis ski areas. They are not included on the Arinsal lift pass so you would need to buy a day pass but Arcalis in particular is well worth exploring as there's no accommodation there and normally great conditions.

  • Ski school meeting place and ski hire shop at the top of the Arinsal gondola
  • The hotel also provides a free evening shuttle to Arinsal. (on request)

This very popular family-run hotel offers something quite unique in any ski resort. It's run by a British couple Graham and Maria, who provide a welcoming atmosphere and they have worked hard to build up the reputation that the hotel has for quality food and excellent friendly service.

The hotel is located in Erts, which is a pretty village just 5 minutes' ride by the free ski shuttle bus to Arinsal and the main gondola.

The food is one of the most popular aspects of the hotel. There's a continental buffet and cooked breakfast with UK favourites like British sausages and baked beans which really sets you up for the day.

The evening meals are themed dinner buffets including Sunday roast, Tex-Mex, Chinese, Spanish, Italian and Indian. They all include meat and fish dishes, fresh salads and homemade soups and desserts.

The hotel has a comfortable lounge and bar and bedrooms are well-decorated and spacious, and all have been refurbished over the last couple of years. There's free Wi-Fi in all the rooms and public areas.

A complimentary ski shuttle service is available on request Arinsal, Grandvalira and Arcalis and so the Palarine is a great base to explore the Andorran ski areas (supplement payable locally for Grandvalira and Arcalis passes).

The hotel is family friendly and cots are available on request.
