One of the friendliest and most charming hotels in the Dolomites. This property has beautiful rooms, amazing spa and food.

We've traveled widely, and this is one of the best hotels we've stayed in. Everything was outstanding. The location can't be beat, 3 cable cars within a 10 minute walk. It's also very convenient to the city. Each and every staff member we dealt with was terrific. The concierge, Simon, offered invaluable assistance with hiking in the unbelievably beautiful Dolomites. Breakfast was great, many choices, all delicious. The room was comfortable and airy with a great view of Ortisei. And the bar was relaxing place to get a drink and snack after a long hike.

We stayed for 3 nights in the first week of September. The staff were all really nice and helpful. It was great we could check in early and late on both our arrival/departure. The food was very good at dinner and you could choose from different menus mixing/matching. We did think the pre salad buffet was lacking though at dinner, unlike and the complete opposite to the breakfast buffet had a huge variety, all fresh and laid out nicely. The cooked breakfast options were lovely too. Service was efficient, didn’t wait long for coffees or plates to be cleared and was easy to get waitresses attention. The hotel was extremely clean and had good facilities including the spa. The sauna infusion daily was a nice touch and lots of relaxing seating areas. We both had a treatment each, my partner had a deep tissue massage which he said was good. I had a the hotels signature massage and unfortunately it wasn’t very good or that relaxing but more rushed and strange technique. The rooms were ok, bathrooms a little bit dated. Clean, comfy bed, good little kitchen area. Can hear noise from corridor and chairs scraping on balconies but nothing major and settled down by 11pm. Convenient location to walk to various cables for walks and good underground parking.

The staff were phenomenal and the hotel was gorgeous. The breakfast options were incredible and Anna Stuben was one of our favorite meals in Ortisei!
