Hotel Princesa Parc

Andorra has a unique way of slowing you down: mountains stretching as far as the eye can see, the scent of wood, and mountain cuisine when it’s time to recharge. In Arinsal, you also have trails and access to the mountains practically right outside your door. The Hotel Princesa Parc in Arinsal, La Massana, brings all these elements together perfectly for an active holiday as a couple or with the family.

It’s a 4-star mountain hotel that’s part of the Princesa Parc Mountain Resort & Spa. Its biggest draw is easy to see: you’re in a Pyrenean setting, but without sacrificing resort amenities, and with the Arinsal gondola right nearby. Travelers particularly appreciate the location, the facilities, and the staff’s hospitality; among the details mentioned in reviews, the buffet receives more mixed reviews.

The location: 150 metres that make all the difference

• Gondola within easy reach: The Arinsal access point to Grandvalira Resorts Pal Arinsal is about 150 metres away. This is a particularly convenient distance when your plans revolve around skiing or the mountains.

• Nature at its best: Arinsal is a great base for exploring the landscapes of La Massana and visiting the Comunal Natural Park of Les Valls del Comapedrosa, home to Andorra’s highest peak.

• More of Andorra: From Arinsal, you can head down to La Massana and continue on to Andorra la Vella to combine the mountains with shopping, dining, and a stroll through the city.

• No need to rely on a car: Arinsal has bus service to La Massana and Andorra la Vella.

Inside the hotel: when the mountains take a back seat for a while

• Outdoor pool: During the summer season, there’s an outdoor pool—a welcome change of pace after a day in the mountains.

• Time to play: The resort features recreational areas and a bowling alley (additional fee may apply), a particularly convenient option for families.

• Time to unwind: It features a Wellness & Spa and a gym (check if they’re included in your package). Better to check the terms before you start daydreaming about your bathrobe.

• Family-friendly atmosphere: The facilities and recreational areas make it a particularly good fit for those travelling with children, though it’s also ideal for couples seeking nature and amenities all in one place.

Dining: fuel up for a return to the mountains

• Buffet restaurant: The hotel offers an international buffet. Access and meals will depend on the meal plan included in your package.

• To extend your after-dinner relaxation: the resort features the Piano Bar and the Bowling Bar, places to enjoy a drink (drinks may incur an additional charge).

• Special options: The hotel offers gluten-free meals upon request; please notify them of any dietary needs before your holiday.

Practical Information: Details to Avoid Surprises

• Car Park: Indoor car park (check rates at reception) is available with limited spaces.

• Traveling with pets: Dogs and cats are allowed under certain conditions and for an additional fee. Advance notice is required.

• Connectivity: Wi-Fi is available on the premises.

Our team recommends:

• Try the Andorran escudella: a traditional stew that’s the perfect way to experience Pyrenean cuisine without needing a translation.

• Hike through Comapedrosa: Explore the natural park and tailor the route to your fitness level. Here, the goal isn’t necessarily to conquer a peak; the views begin well before you reach the top.

• Take a day holiday to Andorra la Vella: combine the scenery of Arinsal with a few hours exploring the capital and its shopping district. That way, you’ll experience two sides of Andorra in a single holiday.
