LE GRAND HÔTEL & SPA THERMAL DE MOLITG

DESCRIPTION

• Rooms : 34, Thermal spa, Beauty centre, Unspoilt surroundings, Especially indicated for joint, skin and respiratory ailments, Good cuisine.

• Situated amidst 60 private hectares of lush Mediterranean gardens and wooded hills, Le Grand Hôtel & Spa Thermal de Molitg offers you one of ultimate thermal spa getaways in the south west of France. Its position in the west Pyrnees is idyllic; this privileged spot was chosen by Adrien Barthélemy sixty years ago as the flagship of the 'Thermale du Soleil' chain of therapeutic spas. The water which surfaces at 37.5ºC is rich in thermal plankton, sulphur and silica and is especially good for treating skin, joint and respiratory disorders. The centre of the spa consists of a round pool which – surrounded by trees – resembles a greenhouse and is a great place to recharge your batteries.

• The 34 bright suites with chestnut parquet set the scene for a cosy and sophisticated stay at the beautifully appointed hotel. They either face the pool, or the richly wooded park, or look over the lake but you can rest assured that peace and quiet is guaranteed. The bathrooms are quite luxurious and have large Italian showers or retro bathtubs. When you want to relax and read the paper, a large living room is at your disposal, and it opens directly onto terraces where you can breathe in the essences of lush gardens rich in laurels, roses, palm trees, pines and oaks. The Thermal Spa itself also includes a beauty centre – the perfect complement to spa treatments – run by two skilled beauticians. When you feel peckish, the hotel's lounge-bar and restaurant, run by chef Michel Guerard offers cuisine firmly rooted in Roussillon that is healthy, light and tasty.

• Le Grand Hôtel & Spa Thermal de Molitg is situated 48 kilometres west of Perpignan and 4 kilometres from Prades and is dominated by the Canigou mountain. The area is the heart of French Catalonia, and the surrounding valleys are full of exceptional tourist attractions such as the Yellow Train to the caverns at Canalettes and the Casteil Animal Park. Also of great interest is the valley which passes by Prades and Molitg as it is home to four of the most beautiful villages in France: Eus, Villefranche de Conflent, Mosset and Evol.
