Presentation

In a lively district of Lourdes, between the banks of the Gave de Pau and the city's iconic landmarks, the Mercure Lourdes Impérial Hotel offers a comfortable stopover, marked by understated elegance and friendliness. The address combines a central location with a peaceful setting, ideal for both cultural and professional stays.

The rooms, divided into several categories, adapt to different travel configurations. You will find well-designed spaces with a simple and contemporary decor, equipped with all the expected amenities for a serene stay. Air conditioning ensures a pleasant temperature, even in summer. Some rooms are interconnected, making them suitable for stays with family or friends.

Each room is equipped with a private bathroom with a shower or bathtub, a minibar, a flat-screen TV, and a courtesy tray. Simple yet appreciated details like an electric kettle, a hairdryer, or high-quality bedding contribute to the overall comfort. Privilege category rooms offer additional amenities, such as a king-size bed, a Nespresso coffee machine, and a docking station for mobile devices.

The general atmosphere of the establishment combines classic touches with Art Deco accents, particularly in the communal areas. The decor features clean lines and soft tones that contribute to a sense of tranquility. On the top floor, the panoramic terrace offers a remarkable view of the fortified castle, the sanctuary, and the Pic du Jer's reliefs. This spot becomes an ideal observation point at sunrise and sunset.

The hotel's restaurant, named L’Impérial, offers French cuisine inspired by the local terroir. The dishes, both traditional and reimagined, highlight products from the surrounding farms. The elegant and warm setting matches a menu deliberately rooted in the season, with dishes also designed for special diets. The restaurant is open daily, catering to individual travelers as well as groups on half-board or full-board stays.

The bar is open 24/7. You can enjoy a drink at any time or indulge in a gourmet break with coffee or tea. The space is equally suitable for a moment of relaxation or an informal conversation at the end of the day. Board games and a small children's area are also available, making the place enjoyable for families.

Breakfast, served as a buffet or in-room, includes a selection of fresh and varied products, both sweet and savory. It provides a good start to the day, whether you are heading for a walk, an excursion, or a meeting.

The hotel has a meeting room with a capacity of about 70 people. This space is equipped to host professional events in a quiet setting, with on-site accommodation available. A private outdoor parking lot, enclosed and accessible for an additional fee, makes stays by car more convenient.

Wi-Fi is available throughout the establishment. It allows you to stay connected easily, whether to plan your visits, organize your schedule, or work remotely if needed. The staff ensures attentive service, with a constant focus on guests' comfort, without overdoing it.

The address is suitable for both discovery stays and longer stops. Thanks to its central position, you can walk to the sanctuaries, the basilica, or the Massabielle grotto, while enjoying direct access to the Pyrenean valleys or hiking sites.

The fortified castle of Lourdes, perched on its rocky spur, is easily accessible from the hotel. The Pyrenean museum it houses offers an interesting insight into local culture and mountain life. For panorama enthusiasts, the Pic du Jer funicular takes you to a viewpoint with views of the city and surrounding mountains.

If you are curious about religious or cultural history, the birthplace of Bernadette Soubirous is also worth a visit. Several temporary exhibitions take place each year in Lourdes' museums, notably around antique photography or sacred art. The Palais des Congrès, just a few minutes’ walk away, hosts various events throughout the year.

From Lourdes, you can venture out to renowned natural sites: the Gavarnie Cirque, the Pont d’Espagne, the Val d’Azun, or the Pic du Midi are all accessible for day trips. These destinations captivate with their diverse landscapes, ranging from forests and peaks to high-altitude lakes.

The Mercure Lourdes Impérial Hotel can thus serve as a comfortable and well-situated base, whether you are seeking spirituality, nature, or heritage. The combination of quality accommodation, a central location, and on-site services makes the experience simple and pleasant, without unnecessary embellishments.

If you wish to continue your exploration without constraints, the hotel also offers easy access to transportation, with the train station just a ten-minute walk away. Tarbes-Lourdes Airport is also easily reachable for those coming from further afield.

Without trying to impress, the Mercure Lourdes Impérial focuses on the essentials: well-maintained rooms, available service, and a calming ambiance. An address designed to meet the needs of travelers without ostentation, but with consistency and care.
