How We Chose the Best Hotels in the Dolomites

Every hotel here scores 8.5 or higher on Booking.com from at least 300 reviews.

There is one exception, COMO Alpina Dolomites, which has 158 reviews and stays because it is the most searched-for luxury name after Forestis. We read each score, review count and street address on the hotel's own Booking page on 4 November 2026.

For this list we read 27 Dolomites hotels on Booking.com in one sitting, and every one of them scored 8.6 or higher.

So the real choice is the valley, the season and whether you have a car. We cut the 27 to 17 by review count, area spread and a clear catch.

We ranked by fit for a first visit, not by commission.

We spread the picks across eight bases so that you aren't choosing between three hotels in one village. We did not read live nightly rates, so you will see price tiers instead of euro figures. The tiers are our own relative judgment: €€ is a three-star hotel, garni or farm stay, €€€ a four-star, €€€€ a five-star. None of these is a checked rate.

Every hotel carries one catch. Where a catch is "opening dates not published on its site", that is literally what we found.

1. Forestis – Plose, Brixen

Luxury · 5-star · 9.7 on Booking (378 reviews) · Price tier €€€€

Best for: couples who want a spa and a summit view more than a village · Skip it if: you want to walk to dinner

Forestis is a five-star hotel at 1,800 m on the Plose, with ski-to-door access and views over the Dolomites. It has two swimming pools, a spa, a restaurant and free parking, and its suites use modern wooden furnishings.

Of all the hotels here, it is the one people search for by name. It showed up in the related searches for at least eight of the 23 Google queries we ran.

The catch is distance, which is common for the high Dolomites hotels.

Booking places it about 12 miles from Bressanone, so you will want a car or a taxi arranged in advance. We could not find its opening dates on the pages we read, so check them before you pick your week.

Tip: we found no shuttle details on its site, so ask the hotel how guests get up from Brixen.

2. COMO Alpina Dolomites – Alpe di Siusi

Luxury · 5-star · 9.7 on Booking (158 reviews) · Price tier €€€€

Best for: a ski-in, ski-out splurge · Skip it if: you want a 300-review safety net

A glass-fronted, ultra-modern five-star right on the slopes of the Alpe di Siusi, with indoor and outdoor pools. The hotel lists 60 rooms and suites, and a free heated ski deposit.

This is the exception to our 300-review rule. Its 9.7 comes from only 158 reviews, so treat the score as promising rather than settled.

The hotel opens December to March and June to October, and reopens on 4 December 2026 after a short break.

Getting there needs planning too, as it does for most high-altitude Dolomites hotels. The road from Siusi to Compatsch is closed to private cars from 9:00 to 17:00, and driving up outside those hours needs a paid parking reservation. We could not confirm the rule for hotel guests, so ask the hotel how arrival works.

Tip: book your dates around the two seasons, since the hotel is closed in the gaps.

3. Grand Hotel Savoia – Cortina d'Ampezzo

Luxury · 5-star · 9.4 on Booking (398 reviews) · Price tier €€€€

Best for: Cortina's centre in a historic building · Skip it if: you want a quiet mountain setting

An elegant, fully renovated historic building in the centre of Cortina, with a large wellness centre, an indoor pool and two restaurants. Its Booking description puts mountain views in the same sentence as the town centre, which is the point of staying here.

It is the one pick in this list that sells Cortina itself rather than a valley, and Cortina is the Dolomites' best-known town. If you want shops, dinner and the ski bus on the doorstep, this is the base.

The catch is dates. Its own site lists no seasonal opening dates for 2026/27, so confirm availability before you plan around it.

Tip: read the Cortina d'Ampezzo travel guide before deciding between town and valley.

4. Hotel Monika – Sesto

Luxury · 5-star · 9.5 on Booking (390 reviews) · Price tier €€€€

Best for: a spa-first stay in the Alta Pusteria · Skip it if: you need a city with nightlife nearby

Hotel Monika in Sesto has a spa and three swimming pools, balconies and mountain views. Skiing is listed among its facilities.

Its 9.5 comes from 390 reviews, a much bigger sample than COMO Alpina's 158.

Sesto is a valley base in the eastern Dolomites, not a lift-side one.

Treat the Tre Cime area as a separate drive or bus trip from here, and read our Tre Cime di Lavaredo guide before you plan the day. We could not find the hotel's seasonal dates, so check them.

Tip: pair Sesto with a night in Dobbiaco if you want two bases for the same hikes.

5. The Oswald Grand Hotel – Selva di Val Gardena

Upscale · 4-star · 9.4 on Booking (375 reviews) · Price tier €€€

Best for: skiers who want the Sella Ronda lift 984 feet away · Skip it if: you travel in April, May or November

The Oswald sits in Selva, 984 feet from the Sella Ronda ski elevator, with an outdoor pool, free wellness facilities and a free ski shuttle in the morning. Many rooms overlook the Dolomites, and it offers family rooms.

It is the Val Gardena pick for people who want a proper hotel rather than a garni, and Selva is the end of the valley where the lifts are.

The valley's own listing gives the hotel's spa opening periods as 4 December 2026 to 4 April 2027 and 1 June to 17 October 2027. That points to closures in between, though the hotel-level dates weren't on that page.

Tip: ask when the morning ski shuttle leaves, since it runs in the morning only.

6. Romantik Hotel Santer – Dobbiaco

Upscale · 4-star · 9.4 on Booking (387 reviews) · Price tier €€€

Best for: adult couples near the Three Peaks · Skip it if: you have children under 12

A family-run hotel since 1860 in Dobbiaco Nuova, with two swimming pools, a spa and a view over the Landro valley, close to the Three Peaks. Its rooms are called Suite Lodges and were each furnished by a member of the Santer family.

The hotel's own site says it takes adults and teens aged 12 and up. That is a real catch for families, and the reason we pitch it at couples.

The site also carries a "closed months 2026/27" heading without dates in the text we read, so confirm the closure window before you book.

Tip: use Dobbiaco's position to split hikes between the Tre Cime and Lago di Braies.

7. Hotel Lamm – Castelrotto

Upscale · 4-star · 9.4 on Booking (610 reviews) · Price tier €€€

Best for: a village base with a rooftop pool · Skip it if: you want to sleep on the Alpe di Siusi meadows

Hotel Lamm sits on the central square of Castelrotto, with a rooftop terrace that has 360° mountain views and a swimming pool.

Rooms have a private bathroom and bathrobes, and some have a terrace or balcony. It also lists family rooms.

At 610 reviews, it is one of the best-evidenced hotels here. The rooftop is the signature.

The catch is that it is a village hotel, not an Alpe di Siusi one. Plan on a bus or a drive to reach the meadows, and read our Alpe di Siusi guide for how the access works.

Tip: ask for a room with a terrace or balcony, since only some have one.

8. HOTEL de LEN – Cortina d'Ampezzo

Upscale · 4-star · 9.1 on Booking (335 reviews) · Price tier €€€

Best for: a design hotel in the heart of Cortina · Skip it if: you need many rooms to choose from

Hotel de Len opened in December 2021 after a major renovation of the historic Hotel Impero, according to Cortina's tourism board. It has 22 rooms in a modern, minimal design with wood as the central material.

The ski bus to the Faloria and Col Druscie lifts stops outside, and the room rate includes a buffet breakfast. A spa and family rooms are listed too.

With only 22 rooms, availability is its limit. It is the four-star alternative to the Savoia's five.

Tip: it was named by three of the editorial lists we read, so it's worth booking early.

9. Croce Bianca Leisure & Spa Hotel – Canazei

Upscale · 4-star · 9.3 on Booking (322 reviews) · Price tier €€€

Best for: a walkable ski village in the Fassa Valley · Skip it if: you want a secluded setting

A four-star in the centre of Canazei, close to the Belvedere-Sellaronda ski facilities.

Booking says the Dolomiti Ski Tour is about a two-minute walk away. The Acqua Relax Vivenes spa has a swimming pool, and there is an outdoor pool and free parking.

It is our pick for people who want the lifts, the restaurants and the spa inside one short walk, which is rarer in the Dolomites than the postcards suggest.

The catch is the village setting: this is a town centre, not a secluded spot. We could not find its seasonal dates on an official page, and Canazei is in Trentino, so the South Tyrol tourist-tax rates below don't apply.

Tip: read the how to get to the Dolomites guide before you commit to the Fassa Valley.

10. X Alp Hotel – Pozza di Fassa

Upscale · 4-star · 9.1 on Booking (1,769 reviews) · Price tier €€€

Best for: families who want a spa and two restaurants · Skip it if: you want a tiny owner-run hotel

The X Alp Hotel in Pozza di Fassa has family rooms with balconies and mountain views, a spa, a sauna, a hot tub and a steam room. It runs wellness packages and yoga, and has two restaurants.

Its 1,769 reviews are the largest sample on our list, which makes the 9.1 the most reliable number here.

The catch is the location: Pozza di Fassa is a village in the lower Fassa Valley, not Canazei, so check how far you are from the lift you plan to use.

Tip: it is also on a bike-hotel list we read, so ask about bike storage in summer.

11. Raschötzhof – Funes

Mid-range · Rooms and apartments · 9.2 on Booking (393 reviews) · Price tier €€

Best for: Odle views from a quiet farm-style stay · Skip it if: you want a hotel restaurant

Raschötzhof has rooms and apartments with Alpine-style décor and mountain views, a 492 ft² garden with a barbecue, and free parking. It sits at 3,773 feet, a five-minute walk from the village centre of San Pietro.

It is the lower-tier way into Val di Funes, the Dolomites valley people book for its church-and-peaks photographs.

The catch is that no restaurant is listed among its facilities. Plan dinner in the village.

Tip: pick an apartment if you want to cook some of your own meals.

12. Proihof – Funes

Mid-range · Farm stay · 9.4 on Booking (472 reviews) · Price tier €€

Best for: a working-farm breakfast · Skip it if: you are without a car

Proihof is a farm with free barbecue facilities and rooms with a mountain-view balcony. It produces its own jam and eggs, and it lists family rooms.

At 9.4 from 472 reviews, it is the better-scored of the two Funes picks.

The catch is that it is a five-minute drive from the centre of Funes, so a car is realistic.

Tip: ask which breakfast items come from the farm.

13. Charme Hotel Uridl – Santa Cristina Val Gardena

Mid-range · 3-star · 9.1 on Booking (602 reviews) · Price tier €€

Best for: an old chalet in Val Gardena's middle · Skip it if: you want a pool

A family-run hotel in a 17th-century chalet in the historic centre of Santa Cristina. It has a free ski shuttle, a Tyrolean-style restaurant, and a panoramic sauna and relax room.

It is the three-star alternative to the Oswald when you still want to be in Val Gardena.

The catch is that no pool is listed, and it is a three-star, not a resort.

Tip: use the free ski shuttle in winter rather than driving to the lifts.

14. Park Hotel Miramonti – San Martino di Castrozza

Mid-range · 3-star · 9.1 on Booking (572 reviews) · Price tier €€

Best for: the Pale di San Martino side of the mountains · Skip it if: you plan to hop to Cortina or Val Gardena daily

Park Hotel Miramonti is in the centre of San Martino di Castrozza, 492 feet from the nearest ski slopes.

Its restaurant serves Italian dishes and holds a South Tyrol dinner each week. The hotel dates back to 1920.

It adds a different corner of the range from the Val Gardena and Cortina picks.

The catch is geography. San Martino is its own area, in Trentino, and the South Tyrol tourist-tax rates below do not apply to it.

Tip: ask which night the South Tyrol dinner falls on.

15. Hotel Garni LIVING – San Candido

Budget · 3-star garni · 9.4 on Booking (433 reviews) · Price tier €€

Best for: a budget base in the Alta Pusteria · Skip it if: you want dinner on site

Hotel Garni LIVING in San Candido has private bathrooms with balconies and garden and mountain views. It offers a shuttle service, ski storage and ski-to-door access, and has a terrace and a bar.

At 9.4 from 433 reviews, it is the best-scored lower-tier hotel on the list, and it sits in the northern Dolomites near the Austrian border.

The catch is that it is a garni, so breakfast is the meal. Eat out for dinner.

Tip: the ski-to-door access is its winter selling point, so ask about it when you book.

16. Garni Hauenstein – Siusi

Budget · Garni · 9.2 on Booking (670 reviews) · Price tier €€

Best for: a cheap base at the foot of the Alpe di Siusi · Skip it if: you want a restaurant or a pool

Garni Hauenstein in Siusi has rooms with balconies, private bathrooms and parquet floors. It has free parking, a bar and a terrace.

Siusi is the village where the Alpe di Siusi cable car leaves from. The cable car is closed in the off-seasons, which are given as mid-April to mid-May and early November to early December, so check it if you travel then.

The catch is simple: a garni, with breakfast only.

Tip: read our things to do in the Dolomites list for what to do at altitude.

17. Hotel Garni Snaltnerhof – Ortisei

Budget · 3-star garni · 8.9 on Booking (615 reviews) · Price tier €€

Best for: a family-run base in Ortisei's centre · Skip it if: you want the best-scored hotel

A family-run hotel in the centre of Ortisei, in a 17th-century bakery that the Hofer family has run for six generations.

It has a traditional restaurant and pizzeria, and the shop still sells freshly baked bread. Buses to Selva di Val Gardena stop 164 feet away.

It is the budget route into Val Gardena in the Dolomites, and unlike the other garnis here it has a restaurant on site.

The catch is its score: 8.9 is the lowest on this list, though still above our bar.

Tip: buy the bread in the shop for a picnic.

Also Good, With Fewer Reviews

These scored 9.1 or higher on Booking when we read them on 4 November, but each has fewer than 300 reviews, so they sit below our bar for the best hotels in the Dolomites. Alta Badia is the area they mostly cover, which is why it has no numbered pick.

• Hotel La Perla, Corvara in Badia: 9.1 from 68 reviews.
• Gardena Grödnerhof, Ortisei: 9.8 from 114 reviews.
• Lagació Hotel Mountain Residence, San Cassiano: 9.7 from 233 reviews.
• Hotel Ciasa Salares, San Cassiano: 9.6 from 177 reviews.
• Bad Moos Aqua Spa Resort, Sesto: 9.3 from 191 reviews.
• Garnì Tofana, Corvara in Badia: 9.3 from 266 reviews.

Which Area of the Dolomites Should You Stay In?

Our where to stay in the Dolomites guide compares every base in full. The short version is one line per area.

Val Gardena: the first-timer's choice for hikers and skiers in the Dolomites.

Alpe di Siusi: the biggest meadow views, with a car-access rule to plan around.

Cortina: dining, shops and the ski bus.

Alta Pusteria (Sesto, San Candido, Dobbiaco): the side for the Tre Cime and Lago di Braies.

Val di Funes: quiet farm stays under the Odle peaks, best with a car.

Val di Fassa and San Martino: walkable lift villages, both in Trentino. For trail ideas, see Dolomites hiking.

What Dolomites Hotels Cost and What to Check

We did not read live nightly rates, so we can't quote euro prices. The tier symbols above are relative, and the real rate depends on whether you go in ski season, July and August or the shoulder weeks.

Check the season first.

COMO Alpina opens December to March and June to October. The Oswald's spa dates imply gaps in April, May and November. Hotels we could not confirm are flagged in each entry. The best time to visit page is here.

South Tyrol's tourist tax, in force since 2025, is €3.00 per person per night in four-star, 4-star superior and five-star accommodation, €2.50 in three-star hotels and €2.00 in other accommodation, with under-14s exempt. Cortina (Veneto), the Fassa Valley and San Martino (Trentino) are outside South Tyrol, and we could not verify their rates, so ask the hotel.

For a first trip you will probably use the Dolomites itinerary or the Dolomites travel guide to choose your dates. Skiers should read the Dolomites skiing guide.

Hotel or Mountain Hut in the Dolomites?

If you plan a multi-day route, huts are a different product from hotels, and they have their own pages: hut-to-hut hiking in the Dolomites and the Alta Via 1.

Use the hotels here as the bookends. You can also compare Dolomites tours if you prefer a guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do you stay to see the Dolomites?

Val Gardena if you want one first base with lifts, villages and trails: our picks are The Oswald, Charme Hotel Uridl and Garni Snaltnerhof.

If you prefer one view, Alpe di Siusi or Val di Funes are the two most photographed, and Cortina suits town life. Our where to stay guide covers each.

What is the best base for hiking the Dolomites?

For the Tre Cime and Braies, the Alta Pusteria: Hotel Monika, Romantik Hotel Santer and Garni LIVING.

For Alpe di Siusi, Hotel Lamm and Garni Hauenstein. Both are also covered in our Dolomites hiking guide.

Do I need a car to stay in the Dolomites?

Not always.

The hotels in village centres (Croce Bianca, Snaltnerhof, Hotel Lamm and Grand Hotel Savoia) are the easiest to use without one. Forestis, Proihof and COMO Alpina are better with a car or a booked transfer. From Venice Marco Polo airport, a bus to Cortina takes about two hours, according to a booking aggregator that lists the ATVO and FlixBus services. See Venice to the Dolomites.

Are Dolomites hotels open all year?

Not all.

COMO Alpina is open December to March and June to October, and the Oswald's spa dates imply closures in April, May and November. For others we could not confirm dates, so check before you book.

Which hotels are ski-in or ski-to-door?

Forestis and COMO Alpina Dolomites list ski access on the slopes, and Hotel Garni LIVING lists ski-to-door access.

Croce Bianca is about two minutes' walk from the Dolomiti Ski Tour, according to Booking. For the wider picture, read our skiing guide.

How much is the tourist tax in the Dolomites?

In South Tyrol it is €2 to €3 per person per night, depending on the accommodation, and under-14s are exempt. We could not verify the Cortina rate.

Our Final Pick Among the Best Hotels in the Dolomites

Book Forestis if you want the best-rated hotel here and a car is no problem.

Book Hotel Garni LIVING if you want the best-rated cheaper stay. For the wider trip, compare the Dolomites and the Alps, or Lake Garda hotels and Venice hotels for the rest of a northern Italy trip.
