Taking the style of a contemporary alpine lodge , the four-star Relais & Chateaux Hotel El Castell de Ciutat hugs the hillside overlooking the historical town of La Seu d ’ Urgell . Basking in rugged isolation , the low-lying buildings are overshadowed by evergreen trees , while the ancient ruins of a Roman fortification add a tangible history to the landscape . Astounding views are maximised at all turns by vast windows and terraces which take in scenery of the Cadí Moixeró natural park framed by distant , snow-dusted peaks . While the hotel itself was named after the historic remains behind , the signature restaurant of Hotel El Castell de Ciutat borrows its name from the family who have run it since the 1960s . Tàpies Restaurant exudes an undeniable romance , its elegant interior accompanied by striking vistas and a menu of fresh , regional produce like truffles and wild mushrooms . At the more relaxed Katia Restaurant you can enjoy the sight of kitchen staff preparing your meal . The design theme of the hotel is utterly in keeping with the setting , including the bar and salon where fireside warmth is supplied to a cosy library space . Guestrooms are typical in their pine-clad style , and superior rooms benefit from the addition of a peaceful terrace . For total relaxation , guests can seek the services of the Wellness centre , which has indoor and outdoor swimming pools , a gym and an array of spa treatments . Bicycles can be borrowed for the day for exploration , while other activities of the Pyrenees include golf , hiking , skiing , horse riding and fishing - all of which are available nearby . After a day of alpine activities , Hotel El Castell de Ciutat is a welcome retreat with the opportunity for trips to Barcelona or even across the border to Andorra .
