Hotel Le Bois Joli

• Excellent central location close to shops and amenities
• Mountain style hotel with a warm family welcome
• Great Brasserie-bar with sun terrace

Located in the heart of the pretty Baroque spa town of Cauterets is the friendly and welcoming Le Bois Joli. The hotel’s classic grand facade with its balconies and brasserie awning are perhaps more akin to something you would see on the streets of Paris.

Inside, this small and traditional mountain-styled hotel is centred on the family-run brasserie-bar with its crafted pine panels that are hand painted with local flowers and its antique cash till that sits proudly at the end of the bar. Perhaps the hottest seat in the house is under the mini mechanical gondola that winds its way around the bar – a clockwork miniature which both children and adults alike will marvel at.

And speaking of gondolas, the Lys Village gondola which whisks you up to the ski resort of Cauterets is just a short walk away. Situated in a sunny bowl, the ski area is easy to navigate and has something for everyone: from lazy blues to challenging blacks, free-ride and terrain park.

After a hard day on the slopes the sunny terrace out front is the perfect spot to catch some winter sun as you relax with a crisp glass of the local Jurançon blanc. If it is too cold outside then why not head inside for a warming shot of Genepi. If you still need a warming up after that, then head to “Les Bains du Rocher”; this beautiful Baroque style building perched on the hill overlooking Cauterets, is the town’s longest standing thermal spa centre and is a sensory experience of indoor and outdoor  hot pools and relaxing hydro massage will invigorate the most tired of bodies.
 
The bright and airy balconied rooms continue the traditional mountain theme with pine furniture, pastel tones and hand painted doors that are evocative of the flora and fauna of the area whilst balconies provide great views of the surrounding mountains.

The continental breakfast is served in the brasserie-bar and for those in need of a more substantial morning fix, the “Montagnard” bre4akfast option tempts with local cured ham and cheese. In the evening, why not experience a typical local dish of hearty Garbure at the rustic mountain chalet-style restaurant next door? Complete with cosy sheepskin throws and an oak-barrelled drinks caddy, it’s a fun and welcoming place to relax for an evening meal.
