The Holiday Inn Andorra is not a luxury hotel in the palace sense, but it is a well-run example of the brand at its best. It sits in the centre of the tiny capital of Andorra, between France and Spain, with a free shuttle to the ski resorts of the Pyrenees.

Setting and arrival
Andorra has no airport, so most visitors arrive by road through winding mountain passes, a scenic journey of ancient villages and dramatic landscapes. Reception is open around the clock, which helped with our late arrival, and guests have free underground parking.
The rooms
My suite had maple-toned wood floors and an airy, ski-lodge feel. Large windows fill it with light, and it has a king bed, sofa bed, wall-mounted TV and two wardrobes with room for ski gear. The bathroom has a shower-bath and bidet. Kids’ suites have bunk beds in themed sleeping areas, from space to pirates, so adults can relax in peace. All 113 rooms have coffee and tea facilities and satellite TV.
Facilities
There is an indoor pool, a fitness centre, playrooms and activities for children, and private event rooms.
The verdict
For a ski trip or a family break in Andorra, this Holiday Inn offers more comfort and thoughtful touches than the brand name suggests, in a convenient central location.
