Stay Lifehacks

The Quiet Room Request: To get the best sleep, ask for a room facing the inner courtyard when making your reservation. The street-facing rooms are well soundproofed but the actual level of silence in the courtyard rooms is something to be experienced for anyone who wants to remember they are not supposed to be within a city center-forget type person!

The “Centre of the World” Visit: Since you are right next to the train station, poke your nose inside. Salvador Dali once declared this to be the center of the universe for having conceived his best ideas here-yes,in a waiting room! The building has recently been restored with some bright ceiling hints toward its supposed surreal occupant. A small yet significant piece of culture available barely meters away.

Do not skip the hotel breakfast. It is excellently valued compared to any nearby cafe and includes local products. A slow coffee enjoyed with fresh French bread in the pleasant dining area of the hotel is an excellent, stress-free way to plan your day before running out to see the sights.

Explore the Coast: Make Aragon Hotel your hub for visiting the coast. Because it is next to the bus and train stations, take a €1 bus or short train ride to the stunning coastal town of Collioure for the day. Enjoy the beach and castle at Collioure, then comfortably make it back to your hotel room in Perpignan—with no high hotel prices on the coast.

Dinner Reservations: The staff at Aragon is local and loves its city. Ask the receptionist to recommend a place for dinner with "authentic Catalan cuisine." He will show you the treasures well-hidden not far from here, where food such as Escalivada or Crème Catalane best represents them all. Often he occupies a table for you so that you do not miss tasting in one of these popular local haunts.
