4 Best Hotels in Corvara, The Dolomites

From its 1939 beginnings as a modest family inn to its newest incarnation as a luxe Aman property, the Rosa Alpina offers an intimate home-away-from-home feel combined with top culinary and wellness experiences. Each of the rooms has a unique layout; the two Aman Suites measure 1,615 square feet. The spa has doubled in size since its early days, with two indoor pools plus an outdoor pool and Jacuzzi, and the extensive menu of holistic spa treatments focuses not only on physical but also emotional and spiritual wellness.

Best described as “Alpine country chic,” this luxe yet rustic family-run hotel has spacious wood-latticed rooms with mountain-view balconies, a spa, lots of cozy sitting areas, and a much-lauded restaurant. There's a relaxed, homey atmosphere in the lobby and bar, where you can order a glass from the 24,000-bottle wine cellar. After a hard day skiing or hiking, the inviting spa with pool, Turkish bath, and saunas is just the thing. And—following a meal at La Stüa de Michil or the more casual Les Stües restaurant (nightly rates include a four-course dinner)—you'll be tempted to call it a night, so that you're ready for the next day’s mountain adventures, right outside the door.

This refined, amenities-filled hotel has a distinctly Germanic vibe and lots of mountain atmosphere—from its outdoor hot tub and sauna to its simple guest rooms, with light-wood paneling, white accents, and balconies, to its underground fondue room–wine cellar (24,000 bottles with a focus on biodynamic producers). The hotel houses three restaurants plus a delightful "cheese room" and "chocolate room." Other facilities include a ski room, a kids' play area, a spa with an indoor pool, sauna, and Turkish bath, and a gym.
