21/03/2024: Superb hotel, located just right in Corvara. Multiple buildings with access to main building underground and so easy.
The dining room offers a superb breakfast, the quality of the bread and even an omelette is ridiculously fresh and lights up the taste buds. Meals at dinner are very good and change every day. Was with a group of skiers and riders from the US for the week a few days ago.
The guest service provided by the staff is jsuperb, attentive, intelligent, pragmatic, and expeditious.
Lobby bar is the best, the bartenders smart, snappy and with it. Lot of fun sitting there. Had lovely confabs with my fellow ski group folks and met some real nice people who were visiting on their own at the bar. They are real patient and will stay with you till you finish your spirits, just cool people.
For the nightlife oriented there is the Iceberg Bar in the hotel right off the lobby, have at it, it ‘s loud music but there they do adhere to closing times as locals visit and need to get home is the conjecture.
Ski lockers are in the basement which opens out into the place where the bus takes you. Airy, clean and with boot heaters in your locker so very professional and slick.
Location is superb as Sportalfredo has their rental store right outside the hotel so it’s a 10 second walk to get your rentals which can be booked online directly. The shuttle service takes your religiously daily to the lift hub in Corvara and will pick you up at days end if required. Actually, if you ski with an instructor-guide, they will show you a way to ski right to the back of the hotel but note, needs snow en route which we had.
Great expansive spa, where the masseuses really do breakdown your tension knots, and a plethora of choices in types of saunas etc.
The rooms are big, have balconies, now was situation in the annex across the street, excellent location, views and room amenities are great, bathroom is spotless and huge.
Well that’s all I can remember, other than what a week ! And this was the perfect home base to come home to.
The extras, some of our group arrived very late due to flight rerouting cause of the Lufthansa strike. The hotel arranged for most needed food-snack bags for the hungry late and weary arrivals. On the way out, we left at an ungodly morning hour, again the Hotel gave all of us, a travel bag of sandwiches and fruits with water, note the sandwiches were so good, this person ate them at the hotel !
Just a great place to stay in the Dolomites. On par with and perhaps better than many other hotels have frequented in the European Alps and most definitely better than even the ritzy 5 star places in the US !
Only negative I can think of but worth noting, there are no Coffee percolators/machines in the rooms so only way to get an early morning java or tea is to wait for the restaurant to open at 730pm. Apparently a Dolomites thing but first time have seen that anywhere I can remember.
It is a skier-and riders hotel in the winter but for those wanting to hang around and do a spa day or go do other things, lots to be had but I have no idea, just heard so. Went skiing.
08/03/2024: What makes this hotel so special is it's staff. Every one from the lady that cleans the room to the driver that takes you to slope, and of course wonderful bar and reception and restaurant staff. Nothing is ever too smalll. Thank you for making our two weeks holiday an even more amazing and memorable time
