Spa hotel
Balneario de Panticosa, Gran Hotel
Formigal-Panticosa · Spain
A spa hotel of 1896 renovated by Rafael Moneo.
The Gran Hotel opened in 1896, in the belle époque, at the Balneario de Panticosa, 1,636 metres up in a high valley of the Pyrenees beside the Ibón de Baños lake. Rafael Moneo renovated it with the Casino, keeping the original façade; its 42 rooms share a dark-marble thermal spa, the larger Termas de Tiberio is a few steps away, and El Lago serves a tasting menu with views over the lake.
