Angelats Hotel
Victorian manor house meets Catalan mountain retreat. Historic, character-filled, and unapologetically analog. The whole place feels like someone's well-appointed country home rather than a hotel. Eco-conscious without being preachy about it.
Rooms have no WiFi by design — the hotel deliberately keeps rooms signal-free for a full digital detox. WiFi is available in common areas if you need it.
Why It Matters
One of very few Victorian-style buildings in Spain, built by the industrialist Batlló family (of Casa Batlló fame in Barcelona) as their private Pyrenean summer estate. The property has been in continuous use for over 130 years and converted to a hotel by the 4th generation of the family. The restaurant is housed in a never-consecrated private family chapel. The outdoor pool sits on top of one of the building's arched structures with panoramic Pyrenees views.
A Victorian manor in the Catalan Pyrenees, built as a summer retreat by the Batlló family in the 1890s — yes, the same Barcelona dynasty behind Casa Batlló. The architecture is genuinely English Victorian: high ceilings, arched windows, double glazing against the mountain cold, and a steam heating system still in use today. It sits inside its own ancient private forest, with trails leading to a waterfall and a thousand-year-old oak. Twenty rooms, each one different. The restaurant lives inside the old family church. No WiFi in the rooms — by design.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Angelats Comfort
The entry-level room, and still genuinely charming. Interior-facing with courtyard views, it blends contemporary touches with the manor's historic bones. Compact but well thought out — a good choice if you're spending most of your time exploring the estate rather than in the room.
King · 15 sqmAngelats Familiar
Two rooms connected via the bathroom, each with a King bed — sleeps four comfortably. Views from the windows. The bathroom-connected layout gives families privacy without being separated across a corridor.
2x KingAngelats Superior
Carefully restored to preserve all original details — original noble wood, high ceilings, and a King bed positioned so you wake up looking at a wall of green. These are the rooms most guests mean when they rave about the place online.
King · 21 sqmAngelats Triple
Spacious room for three, with a King bed plus a single — good for families with one child or a trio of friends. Same character and finishes as the Superior, with all the same amenities.
King + SingleSignature Suite El Mirador
Originally the master bedroom of the Batlló family home. Now a 42m² suite with a separate living room (sofa bed included) and a King bedroom with panoramic forest views. The best room in the house for those who want space and a proper sitting area.
King (+ sofa bed in lounge) · 42 sqmSignature Suite La Biblioteca
Set in the original family library. The hand-carved boiserie (wood paneling), stone accents, and tapestries are genuinely original — this room hasn't been renovated so much as carefully preserved. Open lounge with mountain views, King bed. Forty square meters of the most atmospheric space in the hotel.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
The departure station for the famous rack railway up to Vall de Nuria — one of the most dramatic mountain valleys in Catalonia — is just 4–5 minutes' drive from the hotel. Year-round activities in the valley: hiking, boating on the lake, skiing in winter, sanctuary visit.
Guided eco-tours through the natural surroundings. Specific details available from the hotel reception.
The hotel hosts weddings, company events, and private gatherings using two main spaces: the La Santa Restaurant terrace and the El Mirador salon. The culinary team handles catering.
On-site game room with snooker table and a library. Good for rainy mountain days.
On-site hiking trails on the estate, plus access to extensive Pyrenean routes from the property. Bike use available. The Parque Natural de les Capçaleres del Ter i del Freser is minutes away.
The estate has its own ancient forest with well-marked paths. Key stops include La Cascada (the waterfall), a genuinely beautiful and easily-missed spot, and the Roure Mil·lenari — a monumental oak tree over a thousand years old. The walks range from gentle strolls to more contemplative circuits.
The pool sits on top of one of the building's original arched structures, which gives it an elevated position with panoramic views of the Pyrenees. Sun loungers and beach umbrellas provided. Access may carry an extra charge — confirm on-site.
The remote mountain location and lack of light pollution makes Angelats a notably good stargazing spot. No organized program — just step outside.
