The owners of the Hotel Bruxelles, Manu and Regis, run this lovely little hotel in the heart of Soldeu with passion and pride.
With a fab little bar adorned in traditional wooden décor and truly wonderful food (thanks to the excellent resident chef), the Hotel Bruxelles is a small but very charming find.
An added bonus is that all guests over 18 can join our free Neilson Mountain Experts ski guiding and coaching service throughout the week. Fully qualified instructors will guide you around the slopes whilst giving tips on your technique at the same time (if you want it).
You'll find the Bruxelles right in the centre of the village itself and it's just a couple of minutes' walk from the gondola and equipment hire shops. There's an amazing sun terrace which overlooks the slopes too which is perfect for après drinks. This really is a great choice for your holiday.

About the resort...
Soldeu is home to one of the best native English speaking ski schools in Europe. They’ll transform nervous beginners into confident skiers and boarders in no time. The speedy and advanced can also choose from a range of classes and clinics, all set in the fantastic, 210km Grandvalira area.
The wonderful range of blues and reds, as well as some world-class black slopes, are all expertly maintained and the safe terrain makes this perfect for exploring on your own or with a guide.
Off the mountain, Soldeu is an enchanting village that combines modern development with traditional mountain style, and being quite small, everything is ultra-convenient. The après scene is fun and laid back with a handful of excellent restaurants serving traditional and international cuisine and live music in many of the small and friendly bars each evening.
