La Pleta by Rafael Hotels

Surprisingly underdeveloped, the Aran Valley region of the Spanish Pyrenees still boasts some of most exhilarating skiing in Europe. La Pleta by Raphael Hotels compensates for the region's lack of public amenities with its own spa and four restaurants and terraces. All you need is your skis and friends. La Pleta takes care of the rest. The exterior of La Pleta might look traditional, but inside you'll quickly see that its design focuses on convenience and modernity. All rooms are fitted with wireless Internet, floor heating, and flat-screen TVs, in addition to a simple, clean-cut style that will be sure to put you at ease. After a day out on sun-kissed ski runs, let your body fall into the yielding hands of the massage therapists at the Occitana Spa. Then rotate between the steam rooms and saunas of the Turkish bath facilities. Then, once you've sweated up a hunger, head to the hotel's first-rate sushi restaurant for seafood delicacies you won't find anywhere else in the region.

The best Luxury Sky Resort in Europe - 2008

La Pleta by Raphael Hotels sits high up in the Aran Valley amid the snow-covered mountains of the Spanish Pyrenees, just west of France. Part of the celebrated resort community of Baqueira, it is proudly secluded, offering its guests untouched, fresh-fallen powder rather than flashy commercial attractions. What small villages do exist in the general area are little more than smatterings of wood-and-stone houses huddled around a central church.
