The Blackpine
Rise and pine
Peak Pyrenees
Andorra is big on natural beauty, and the Blackpine is fitting right into its lofty capital with an eco-friendly ethos that’s proving even the sleekest of boltholes can still be sustainable. Every corner of this Pyreneen retreat has been lovingly built with native pine: fluted to accent the restaurant’s calming atmosphere, sanded to lend sleek finishes to spacious rooms and suites, and seamlessly joined to frame awe-inspiring views through floor-to-ceiling windows. And at the root of it all: a soothing spa that’ll have you restored and ready for the slopes (and city) in no time.

Our Favourite Rooms
Pine-clad, contemporary spaces make each of the 17 rooms and suites similar in style; but for bubble-brimmed soaks, we’d suggest the Triple Room for its curvaceous tub. If it’s extra space you’re after, the Terrace Suite has a generously sized living room and its own terrace that’s primed for people-watching.
Poolside
There’s set to be a small, indoor hydrotherapy pool at the spa that’ll sort any aches and pains; otherwise, the suites’ freestanding oval tubs are more than enough to get the endorphins flowing.
Spa
The all-mineral, healing properties of Andorra’s mountainous hot springs have inspired Blackpine’s spa – a space soon to be decked out with a Finnish sauna and wood-finished treatment rooms for meditative massages and age-defying facials.
Packing Tips
An adventurous spirit to explore Andorra’s pinch-me-please beauty is all you’ll need here (and perhaps a pair of hiking boots).
Also
The hotel has on-site ski storage that you’re more than welcome to use if you’ve brought your gear along.
Дети
Welcome; there’s no kids’ club or crèche to keep little Smiths entertained, but the city has plenty of places to explore and surrounding ski resorts have classes for all ages.

Дресс-код
Whatever you’re heading off to explore in is fine at this laidback spot.
Hotel Restaurant
The hotel’s small, informal restaurant is yet to open, but we can’t wait to work our way through its impressive breakfast spread in the cosy Alpine dining room. And from your Andorra la Vella basecamp, dinner plans are easily secured.
Hotel Bar
A small bar sits within the restaurant, where walls are lined with spirits and mixologists shake up a sweet selection of craft cocktails.
Last Orders
Breakfast is served between 7.30am and 10.30am; and the restaurant’s bar pours till late.
Planes
International flights touch down in one of the three surrounding airports; Barcelona, Girona and Perpignan, all of which are just under a three-hour drive away. If you’re arriving from within Spain, Andorra-La Seu d’Urgell is a smaller, domestic airport that’s a closer 40-minute drive from the hotel.
Automobiles
For anyone planning on venturing beyond the city to some of Andorra’s storied ski resorts, a set of wheels will be smart. There isn’t parking at the hotel, but there are a few spots a short walk away.
Worth Getting Out of Bed For
How you decide to explore Andorra will depend on the seasons; skiing is the sport of choice for most during the colder months (the Grandvalira ski area is within easy reach of the capital) and once the snow has melted, most take to the trails for picturesque hikes. But the Blackpine also puts you right in the country’s beating heart: Andorra la Vella. Its cobbled streets are laced with luxury shops and duty-free department stores, so avid browsers may want to wander 15 minutes across town to its shopping locus, Avinguda Meritxell. If you’re here for its history, head to the city’s old quarter, Barri Antic, where you’ll find the 16th-century Casa de la Vall; and just across the Valira d'Orient, the storied Caldea thermal spa has 18 floors for a soul-soothing dose of self care.
