Best Luxury Hotels In Cortina d’Ampezzo
Embedded in the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage site, this resort hosted the 1956 Winter Olympics, two Alpine Ski World Championships and the 2021 Alpine Ski World Cup. As such it offers some technically challenging pistes, along with beginner runs. But this resort has much more to offer than just snow and slopes. Come the warm weather, climbers and hikers flock to the beautiful peaks. George Clooney and Naomi Campbell have holidayed here and although it attracts many celebs, it’s by no means pretentious. Often referred to as the ‘pearl’ or ‘queen’ of the Dolomites, Cortina d’Ampezzo is a great choice for your upscale Italian skiing or summer break.
Rosapetra SPA Resort
(5 stars) With a focus on well-being, this spa resort encourages guests to enjoy the surrounding beauty, unwind and practise self-care with a range of innovative treatments. A Personal Spa Assistant guides you through your journey. This may include thalassotherapy and treatments in the Hatma Space area of the Massage Zone, featuring a unique ergonomic bed. There’s a jogging track outside and a pool inside, to keep fit during your stay. The decor at Rosapetra revolves almost entirely around light wood, creating a grounding, rustic-chic atmosphere. The hotel’s Corte del Lampone dining room treats food like an art form and there’s regular entertainment by night.
Cristallo, Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Cortina d’Ampezzo
(4 stars) Within two decades of opening, the Cristallo played its part in World War I as a military hospital. It’s had a more glamorous recent history, hosting royalty and the Hollywood elite. The 74 bedrooms have a classic, grand Italian style, but the decor is entirely fresh due to a 2017 refurbishment. A ski resort with an in-house spa, it’s part of Marriott International’s Luxury Collection. There are three restaurants; La Veranda for breakfast and lunch, the fully wood panelled La Stube 1872 which serves mountain favourites and the fine dining room, Il Gazebo, with its stunning 360-degree views across the Dolomites.
