3 Passage Saint Louis, Avenue B. Soubirous - Bp 83, 65103 Lourdes
From the heights of the Hotel La Solitude, the view lingers on the lines of the fortified castle, the silhouette of the Sanctuaries, and the reflections of the Gave River that flows through the town. In Lourdes, few accommodations offer such a feeling of openness, both to the city and the Pyrenean landscapes. The light, the colors, and the passage of pilgrims create a lively atmosphere, where one feels that everyone comes here for their own unique reason.
The establishment welcomes visitors from all over the world every year. This diversity gives the place a warm and lively tone, without losing its serenity. The large terraces, the indoor pool with a view, or the quieter lounges allow everyone to experience their stay at their own pace, alternating between shared moments and private retreats.
The rooms are available in various formats: single, double, triple, quadruple, or even suites. Some have balconies, others offer clear views of the Pyrenees, the river, or the Esplanade des Processions. Comfort is ensured, with carefully chosen bedding, air conditioning, a courtesy tray, a small refrigerator, a TV with international channels, and free Wi-Fi access. Twenty-four rooms are adapted for people with reduced mobility, in a much-appreciated effort for inclusivity.
The organization of communal spaces promotes smooth circulation within the hotel, with no overcrowded waiting areas or a feeling of confinement. The buffet restaurant "Au fil de l’eau" allows guests to enjoy meals in a bright setting, with varied menus and options tailored to specific dietary needs. For a more relaxed atmosphere, the brasserie "La Cascade" offers traditional cuisine on the terrace or indoors, with the river just a few meters away.
Breakfast can be enjoyed in the dining room or in your room, depending on your preference. Generous and diverse, it caters to both continental habits and international expectations. Packed meals are available if you plan an extended outing during the day, which is very convenient for groups or hikers.
On the rooftop, the indoor pool is accompanied by a jacuzzi accessible with your room key. Heated between spring and autumn, it remains one of the hotel's distinctive features. Swimming a few laps allows you to enjoy an unobstructed view of the rooftops and the surrounding landscapes, far from urban hustle and bustle.
The available services contribute to the quality of the stay without overloading it. On-site, you will find a souvenir shop, a tea room, luggage storage, laundry service, and assistance with excursions. The multilingual and attentive staff is both discreet and available. A 24-hour reception ensures smooth check-in and assistance at any time.
The hotel also offers several meeting rooms and can host professional or associative events. Whether you are traveling individually, as a couple, with family, or as part of an organized group, the spaces are designed to adapt without losing comfort or clarity.
Accessibility is facilitated by the immediate proximity of the Sanctuaries, reachable on foot in just a few moments, as well as parking options in a private garage (subject to availability) or nearby. A shuttle can be arranged for your trips to or from the airport.
For those looking to treat themselves to a wellness break, the establishment provides access to the spa area of the Grand Hotel Gallia & Londres, less than 300 meters away. There, you will find a hammam, sauna, jacuzzi, and à la carte treatments in a calm environment conducive to relaxation.
The hotel bar, opening onto a large terrace, becomes a meeting place in the evening, as the light softens over the town. Conversations unfold over a drink, among travelers from all horizons, before everyone retreats to their room.
The style of the establishment blends modern lines with classic touches, without excess or overload. The overall ambiance reflects a calming simplicity, leaving room for the city and the landscape to fully express themselves. The hospitality aims to reflect this atmosphere: sincere, professional, and focused on each guest's needs.
In Lourdes, discoveries are often made on foot. From Hotel La Solitude, you have direct access to the entrance of the Sanctuaries, at the foot of the Esplanade. You can follow the route of the processions, visit the Grotto of Massabielle, reflect, or simply observe the silent movements of the crowds in motion.
A few minutes away, the Lourdes fortified castle opens its doors. Perched on its rock, it houses a Pyrenean museum with rich collections. The visit offers a different perspective on the town and helps to better understand the region's history, including its popular culture, pastoral traditions, and religious evolution.
If you wish to extend your exploration, the trails along the Gave River or climbing the surrounding hills invite you to short, accessible hikes, sometimes offering spectacular viewpoints. Hiking or photography enthusiasts will appreciate these routes, often quiet and scarcely frequented.
The Sainte-Bernadette museum, discreet but moving, modestly recounts the story of the young girl at the origin of the 1858 apparitions. Visitors can discover documents, objects, and testimonies in a meditative setting. Other places such as the Sanctuary cinema or temporary exhibitions enrich the cultural program.
By staying at Hotel La Solitude, you choose an accessible, lively, and comfortable setting, without giving up the tranquility or authenticity of your Lourdes experience. Every detail seems designed to accompany your journey, whatever its nature.
