Hotel Nexta Escaldes is a modern 4-star hotel in the heart of Escaldes-Engordany, right by Caldea and well placed for the shops, restaurants and cafés around the centre. It makes a handy base if you like having plenty around you once the ski day is finished, while still having an easy connection towards the slopes.

During the winter season, guests can also use the complimentary Nexta City Ski Bus, linking Hotel Nexta Escaldes with Encamp. The service operates once in the morning with a return service in the afternoon, making it a useful option for reaching the Encamp sector of Grandvalira without needing to arrange your own transport.

Inside, there is a comfortable lobby and bar, a buffet restaurant serving breakfast and dinner, and free WiFi throughout. Rooms range from doubles through to triples, suites and quadruple rooms, giving couples, friends and families a good choice of layouts.

For some downtime away from the mountain, the hotel has a wellness area with a pool and sauna (Payable Locally), while the top-floor terrace has panoramic views across Escaldes-Engordany and the surrounding mountains. The rooftop terrace is seasonal and normally opens during the summer.

Why guests like it:

The location is the big draw here. Caldea is next door, the centre of Escaldes is on the doorstep and there are plenty of places to eat, drink and shop nearby. The complimentary Nexta City Ski Bus also gives guests a straightforward connection to Encamp for skiing, while the bar and wellness area are welcome options once you are back at the hotel.
