My Dolomites Stay List: Top Picks

Dolomites Stay:

Alpine splendour defines these emblematic accommodations, where the Dolomites gracefully offer their grandeur. From the understated simplicity of natural interiors to fully alpine immersive surroundings, these six accommodations complete my selection of top favourite stays in the Dolomites.


1: Forestis

Glass windows, an indoor/outdoor pool and two armchairs overlooking mountains.

A wooded area at 1,800 meters borders the great wonder that is Forestis. The minimal, yet profoundly warm and comfortable suites make you feel as if you are in a modern cabin, completely secluded, as they frame the otherworldly alpine views of the Dolomites. The Penthouses and Tower Suites are unlike any other, with their astonishing floor-to-ceiling windows that leave you speechless the moment you walk in. The interiors expand the boundaries of the room, with the fragrant, spruce wood-cladded walls transporting you to the forest outside. The bar and restaurant are also no strangers to this feeling, as the hotel extends its sense of alpine purity and simplicity throughout its interiors, food, and nourishment.

  • A cabin like hotel façade, with large windows, an outdoor pool and lounge space with white sunshades, surrounded by high green mountains.

  • Lady in a white swimsuit, next to an indoor pool, overlooking a green mountain in front of large windows.

Lefay Dolomites is a haven of relaxation and recovery from your explorations around the region. With views of Val Rendena below, and mountains to each side, the quietness at Lefay is the perfect setting for a restorative stay, anchored around its 5,000 sqm / 53,000 sqft Spa & Wellness centre, a true temple immersed in Nature for mind, body, and spirit regeneration. The suites are an extension to this tranquil feeling, bringing inside plenty of elements from the Natural landscape around, creating the perfect merging point between the comfort of the Wellness Centre and the tranquility of the mountains.

Waking up and getting a cup of tea and breakfast on your room’s balcony, with panoramic views of the entire Alpe di Siusi, is like waking up in another dream! The Spa and heated pools at Como Alpina are the perfect morning escape, before heading out and exploring the incredible surrounding landscapes. And just as the evening approaches, the Alpina Chalet will welcome you with a flawless fine dining meal, crafted with local produce, alongside a great selection of local wines and the greatest view of Alpe di Siusi disappearing into the night.

The pacifying views of the Dolomites frame the Miramonti Boutique Hotel and its very own private forest trail. The perfect morning starts with a visit to the spa, resting at a surprising 1,230m above sea level, where an indoor/outdoor pool is exquisitely framed by cabin-style architecture and remarkable mountain views. Back to your suite, oceans of tranquillity and a quiet sense of belonging gently take over, while embracing you in pure serenity.


5: Hotel de Len

Located in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Hotel de Len is a modern and invigorating Alpine chalet. The reclaimed pine on its walls offers a comforting sense of warmth and shelter from the rawness of Nature outside. Starting your day in full tranquility while enjoying a warm cup of coffee on your suite's terrace, breathing in the revitalizing mountain air, sets out the perfect tone for a day exploring the nearby hiking trails of Tre Cime or Lago di Sorapis, before returning for a soothing late afternoon for both the body and mind at the spa on the top floor.

Beyond the hotel, you will be greeted with panoramic views of the town and the surrounding mountain peaks, which make your suite's balcony the first mandatory morning stop before heading out for a day of exploration.
