Where to Stay in the Dolomites Right Now
Chase Travel experts explore the world to help you find the perfect hotel for every situation. Get inspired for your next trip with more curated hotel guides.
The Dolomites, a dramatic mountain range in Northern Italy with peaks that seem to scratch the sky, inspire awe whether you’re hiking them in the summer or hitting the slopes in the winter. Equally impressive? The range of stylish new places to stay in the region.
The historic art nouveau Cristallo Resort & Spa is reopening soon, while the First Cortina from Pavilions Hotels & Resorts is taking over the former Splendid Hotel Venezia. It will comprise 63 rooms, a ground-floor restaurant and a spa with a pool and a hammam. Other new properties in the area include the Aman Rosa Alpina in San Cassiano, where the renowned hospitality brand has transformed a historic, family-run favorite; the adults-only Casa Cook Madonna in Madonna di Campiglio; and Castel Badia, an 11th-century castle and a member of Leadings Hotels of the World.
Here are eight more hotels in the Dolomites to book for, well, any time of year.
COMO Alpina Dolomites
Castelrotto
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
From the Maldives to the Himalayas, the COMO brand is known for standout properties in compelling locations. COMO Alpina Dolomites is a perfect example. The hotel itself is a stunner, with buildings clad in quartzite and angular wood that echo the surrounding peaks, but it’s the location that seals the deal. Set on the Alpe di Siusi, a high plateau, with views on every side, it’s the perfect base from which to explore—by foot, ski or snowshoe. The COMO Shambhala spa offers a range of treatments, including sports massage and a South Tyrolean hay bath (because who doesn’t want to relax in a tub of freshly cut hay?). A refurbished kids’ play area, with interactive games and cinema nights, keeps the little ones happy while parents enjoy a well-earned glass of Valpolicella and some pasta at Trattoria Dell’Alpe.
Forestis
Brixen
The name of this lodge is fitting; it is indeed fully ensconced in dense wooded slopes, beyond which are jaw-dropping views of the Dolomites’ jagged peaks. But guests don’t necessarily need to go forest bathing, because the 21,500-square-foot spa offers a range of services to ease whatever ails you. Everything is centered on trees—specifically mountain pine, spruce, larch and Swiss stone pine—and treatments may involve wooden sticks, pressure techniques and sound therapy. In the bar and restaurant, drinks and dishes draw on the nearby bounty—expect nuts, berries, fir needles and bark to make appearances—and activities like hiking, biking and skiing lead guests through the pines. Added bonus? The hotel’s construction was carbon neutral and sustainability remains top of mind, helping to preserve that ever-giving forest.
Hotel de Len
Cortina d’Ampezzo
“De Len” is Ladin for wood, and this hotel in the center of Cortina d’Ampezzo is a love letter to timber. Locally crafted planks line the outside of what was once the historic Hotel Impero, and pine and spruce accents dominate the interiors. The sixth-floor spa commands great views, allowing guests to gaze out at the rolling hills and distant peaks after a treatment or a spell in the Finnish sauna.
Ancora Cortina
Cortina d’Ampezzo
Modern luxury in historic buildings is de rigueur in the Dolomites, and Ancora Cortina is no exception. This member of the Leading Hotels of the World group is housed in an 1826 building on Cortina’s pedestrianized Corso Italia street and does that upscale-design-meets-period-details thing exceptionally well, thanks to a renovation spearheaded by its new global fashion mogul owner and a renowned designer. Furnishings and amenities were brought into the 21st century, while original ceiling paintings and decorative alpine motifs remain. The terrace here has been a hub for the city’s social life for some 200 years, so take a seat and order some fried zucchini flowers to go with the view.
Miramonti Boutique Hotel
Merano
Think “family-owned boutique hotel,” and you probably aren’t picturing infinity pools or floor-to-ceiling windows framing vast valley views. But this is the Dolomites, where alpine luxury and film-worthy panoramas abound. They call their 47 rooms “characteristic cocoons,” each “with a goosebump panorama,” and it’s not just marketing speak. The likes of Loft 007 and Q-Suite reveal the kinds of scenes that will make you want to keep the shades open. After a day of hiking (or a long soak in the onsen pool), head to Stube, the wood-paneled restaurant, for a shared raclette, with gooey Pustertaler cheese bubbling over smoked beef, boiled potatoes and pickled vegetables.
Hotel Saltus
San Genesio Atesino
This cozy bolthole in the tiny village of San Genesio, near the larger city of Bolzano, is a paradise for horse lovers. (The region is the home of the Haflinger—a gentle, friendly breed of horse that is perfect for beginner or nervous riders.) Lessons and half- and full-day rides among spruce and larch are available from nearby stables, as are horse-drawn carriage rides. Meanwhile, hikers have access to nearly 500 miles of trails, and there are seven golf courses within an hour’s drive. Back at the hotel, all the requisite Dolomites amenities await: an infinity pool, a forest spa (accessed by a meditation trail) and a restaurant serving seasonal delicacies. Saltus is big on sustainable travel and even offers a 5% discount to guests who arrive by train.
Hotel Tyrol
Selva di Val Gardena
You can’t leave the Dolomites before you’ve hit up a kraxenofen. Not familiar? They’re little sauna spaces, packed with hay and herbs, in which you sit for an aromatic experience. It’s one of the traditional alpine touches at Hotel Tyrol, where staff in Tyrolean dress welcome you to a delightful family-run, 46-room retreat in the village of Selva di Val Gardena. Outings include wildlife walks in the woods with a local naturalist and a ski experience with former champion Peter Runggaldier. Back at the hotel, the six-course tasting menu at award-winning Suinson includes snails with roasted onion and foie gras, squid and octopus orecchiette and pigeon with parsnip cream.
Hotel La Perla
Corvara in Badia
For a true sense of South Tyrolean history and culture, book a stay at the intimate Hotel La Perla. The 51-room property is full of rustic design touches and antique furnishings; throughout its halls and guest rooms, you might run into a rocking horse or a typewriter. The most traditional rooms have ceilings from the stuben (or living rooms) of 17th-century Tyrolean and Austrian farmhouses. At the renowned restaurant La Stüa de Michil, chef Simone Cantafio serves up tasting menus in a seriously atmospheric, wood-paneled space. Sample dishes have names like “Awakening in the Woods” (porcini mushrooms and mountain cheese cappuccino with a venison tartare-filled summer truffle croissant) and “Dedicated to My Master” (cold spaghetti with chives, shallots and white sturgeon caviar). Don’t miss the treehouse, which hosts aperitivi for two, or the impressive wine cellar, where tasting sessions take place among 30,000 bottles.
