A place to remember, a place to return to. Welcome to Hotel Xabier. Situated in front of the Castle at Javier, it offers more than would seem possible at first glance: an opportunity to get to know the gastronomy and culture of the region, a place to rest within the heart of the countryside, with all the comfort and services of a great hotel. It is also completely equipped to deal with conventions and congresses, with fax, photocopier, internet, meeting-rooms... and everything within the quiet, relaxing environment of traditional and natural surroundings.

History and natural beauty. On the Aragonese section of Santiago’s Way, there are many regional attractions: the village of Ujué, the Monastery at Leyre or the Gorge at are only some of them. But without doubt the Castle at Javier, the birthplace of Saint Francisco, the patron saint of , is the most emblematic, as much for its artistic interest as for its historical value.

A gastronomy with interesting possibilities. On the wide-ranging menu in our restaurant, local traditional fare sits side-by-side with the most elaborate creations of “haute cuisine”. Our large, carefully decorated drawing rooms can accommodate your family or business celebrations, supplying the most attentive service which extends to the smallest details.
