The Château de Riell in brief

Our review

Updated on April 27, 2026

Le Château de Riell is a Hotel 5* located 45 minutes from Perpignan, in the middle of nature, with panoramic views of Mont Canigou. With its quaint, old-fashioned charm, the hotel boasts an exceptional thermal spa, attentive staff, a rooftop pool with 360° views and a gourmet restaurant not to be missed.

 

Reservation

We advise you to book your stay at Château de Riell via Booking.com, which often offers free cancellation. Send us a message on Instagram if you go, it would make us super happy.

 

The rooms

The hotel has 17 rooms, suites, and cottages with particularly refined décor: colorful fabrics, period furniture, oak parquet flooring, brass finishes, and draperies. Each room is unique and offers a view of the Pyrenean forest and mountains.

Some of our favorite rooms and suites:

1 • Cottage in the gardens • Photo
2 • Deluxe Room • Photo
3 • Prestige Room • Photo
4 • Suite • Photo
5 • Panoramic Suite • Photo

Depending on the room, you will have up to 45m² of space, a king or queen-size bed, a bathtub, and a private terrace.

 

Life in the hotel

At the lower end of the estate, discover a magnificent 1,500-square-meter Roman spa featuring pure spring water that is 18,000 years old.

Facilities include: a thermal water pool with underwater jets, a mud bath, 20 marble treatment rooms, 1 thermal steam bath, 1 thermal mist bath with wood-toned lighting, a relaxation room, and a beauty salon.

We offer a wide variety of packages and massages.

In the morning, a hearty breakfast awaits you at the Datcha, a terrace perched in the trees and flooded with light. Breakfast can also be served in your room until 11am.

For lunch and dinner, the Riell's gastronomic restaurant welcomes you with delicious seasonal Catalan cuisine and the unusual decoration of a large hacienda. The open hearth of the huge fireplace illuminates the restaurant's patinated plaster walls and antique furniture. In the late evening, enjoy a drink in the Out of Africa bar, on the rooftop or in one of the castle's majestic salons.

 

In the heart of the Catalan mountains

The hotel provides free bikes for you to go for a ride and discover the area by bike. Many activities are possible: hiking, yoga classes, canyoning or tennis. You can also discover more secret addresses such as the citrus fruits of Baches or the olive oil producers in Ille sur Têt. Finally, you are very close to 4 of the most beautiful villages in France: Eus, Évol, Villefranche-de-Conflent and Mosset.
