A friendly welcome and comfortable bed are just the tonic after a long journey: our tipsters know the best hotels near stations from the Med to the Tirol
Cerbère is the last village in France before Spain on the Mediterranean coast. It’s a quiet seaside resort with an international train station and two amazing hotels. The first is the stunning 1930s art deco Hotel Belvédère, which is styled like an ocean liner. Declared a historic monument in 2002, it is perched over the rail track, it has now reopened with rooms to let. They used to play tennis on the roof, and the original cinema is still there. On the other side of the village is the 1950s-built hotel La Vigie, which has fantastic views thanks to its clifftop setting.
