Baqueira is a relatively small ski resort, with limited options for nightlife or activities beyond skiing. This is very much a ski-first destination, and expectations should be set accordingly. From a skiing perspective, Hotel MIM Baqueira is exceptionally well located. The lockers, included in the room rate, are directly underneath the gondola. You can ski straight out with zero friction. The hotel also has agreements with local rental shops that deliver your ski equipment directly to your locker. The experience is extremely well thought out. You leave your room wearing normal shoes, change at the lockers, and within 20 meters you’re on the slopes. Operationally, this is a 10/10. Breakfast is varied and well executed, with live cooking stations. There is a small pool and a solid spa, both appreciated after a day on the mountain. Drinks at the bar are fine. Food, however, is average. The restaurants Hincha and Bajo Zero are simply okay, nothing memorable. Service is inconsistent, leaning toward mediocre. At one point I asked a waitress what type of meat was used for a milanesa. She didn’t know, and when I asked if she could check with the kitchen, she flatly refused. That says a lot. I ended up having a very average pizza. I spent my birthday weekend at the hotel. My travel agent informed them in advance, and it was also noted at check-in. There was no acknowledgment whatsoever. Not a note, not a courtesy chocolate. For a hotel positioning itself in the upper tier, this was genuinely disappointing.

“It’s all about location”

Good spot in Baqueira / Ruda if you want to stay close to the ski slopes and avoid the daily commute from nearby towns. The hotel was renovated late 2020 and is still in very good shape. Very friendly and helpful staff, superb breakfast buffet. It is quite expensive and wouldn’t worth the price… lisää
