Continental

Hotel Continental is at the crossroads of the most grandiose Pyrenees sites, including the 'Pic du Midi' at more than 2800 meters high, Gavarnie's cirque, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Néouvielle Natural Reserve, or the pass of Tourmalet. This attractive hotel is set in Lourdes just a four-minute walk from the renowned grotto and Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes. Visitors might wish to bathe in the famous baths at the sanctuary, visit the childhood home of Saint Bernadette and the Pyrenees Museum, and hike up to the city's historic fortified castle. In the winter, this hotel serves as an excellent base for skiing holidays, as three major ski stations can be reached within a 45-minute drive. The hotel's guest rooms are modest and bright, and all come with free wireless internet access and private en suite bathrooms. Guests can book excursions with the hotel's multilingual staff at the front desk and relax with a drink in the bar after a long journey, and wake up to a continental breakfast buffet in the morning before heading out to explore the area. For a relaxing holiday in the south of France, this hotel provides a peaceful and pleasant stay in Lourdes.
