The Italian Dolomites are home to an extraordinary collection of hotels that blend Alpine tradition with modern sophistication. Across this UNESCO World Heritage landscape, you’ll find properties featuring world-class spas, award-winning restaurants, and exceptional guest services designed for mountain lovers.
Like elsewhere in the Alps, hospitality, comfort, and cleanliness are guaranteed, but what sets Dolomites hotels apart is their creativity. Here, tradition is reimagined through bold architecture, inventive Ladin, Italian, and Tyrolean cuisine, and design that harmonizes with the surrounding peaks.
In this guide, I’m sharing the most remarkable places we’ve personally stayed in, each offering something special, whether it’s a 2,500 m² wellness sanctuary, an in-house patisserie, or a secluded setting high above the valleys.
If you’re visiting in winter, also read our companion guide: Best Ski-in Ski-out Hotels in the Dolomites.
Everyone visits the Dolomites for the views, but when the weather turns or you simply crave rest, where you stay matters. The right hotel transforms your trip into a full experience: memorable and relaxing, rain or shine.
Good to Know
- Many hotels in the Dolomites require a minimum stay of three to five nights, especially during high season.
- The best Dolomites hotels are concentrated in the Italian province of South Tyrol.
- Many hotels offer half board, where breakfast and dinner are included in the rate. If you’re traveling in shoulder-season/off-season, we highly recommend choosing a hotel with an on-site restaurant, or half-board offering.
- Wellness and spa areas are almost always included. In our experience, you never have to pay an additional fee to use the hotel’s wellness area (saunas, pool, etc…). Sauna areas are generally textile-free zones for adults only.
- Many Dolomites hotels offer exclusive hiking and biking tours for their guests.

3. Naturhotel Leitlhof
4-Star Superior Hotel in San Candido, Alta Pusteria, South Tyrol
62 Rooms
There are many excellent accommodations in Alta Pusteria, but a true stand-out is Naturhotel Leitlhof in San Candido. From the cuisine and wellness area with infinity pool to the mountain views and design, Leitlhof makes a lasting impression.
From the hotel’s perch, guests enjoy sweeping views of the historic village with its notable steeples at the foot of Haunold mountain. Off to the left, you can also see Dreischusterspitze (Punta tre Scarperi) (3145 m), the highest mountain in the Sexten Dolomites, and Gsellknoten (Cima di Sesto) (2865 m).
Views aside, the most compelling reason to stay here is the cuisine. Naturhotel Leitlhof sources their vegetables, herbs, and beef from their very own Mühlhof farm, located only a few minutes away from the hotel. That’s probably why each dish explodes with flavor. Everything we tasted was EXCELLENT – the best of the best. Vegans can request a vegan menu for dinner. Inform the reception at check-in.
There’s also a complimentary afternoon snack (Marende) with sweet and savory options, available in the lounge area daily.

104 Suites
My Arbor – Plose Wellness Hotel is an adults-only, spa hotel nestled in the South Tyrolean mountains, high above Bressanone/Brixen.

According to Bad Moos, their mineral-rich water (containing sulphur, fluoride, magnesium, and calcium) is good for your digestive system, musculoskeletal system, and integumentary system. People have been bathing here since 1764, according to records.

4-Star Hotel in Val Fiscalina, Sesto, South Tyrol
30 Rooms
Hotel Dolomitenhof is a historic 4-star hotel in Val Fiscalina, a 4.5 km long side valley of Sesto (Sexten) valley. In 1905, Sepp Innerkofler, Sesto’s famous mountaineer, opened the Dolomitenhof. Today, the hotel is managed by the 4th generation of the Innerkofler family.
Surrounded only by idyllic meadows and forest, Hotel Dolomitenhof enjoys unobstructed views of the highest peaks of the Sesto Sexten Dolomites, including Einserkofel (Cima Uno), Oberbachernspitzen (Croda Fiscaline), and Zwölferkofel (Croda di Toni).
A highlight of staying here is the panoramic wellness area and pool that spills outdoors, facing the Sexten Sundial. Lounge chairs are spread out spaciously across the lawn, creating the optimal environment for relaxation and reading. The spa encompasses 4 saunas and two cold plunge pools.
The hotel sources their ingredients (as much as possible) from local farms and alpine pastures. At breakfast, you’ll see exactly where your eggs, cheese, butter, etc.. come from. Dinner courses, made using local ingredients, are marked with a green farmer icon.
Undoubtedly, the most compelling reason to stay here is the location. Val Fiscalina is one of the dreamiest destinations in the Dolomites. Directly from the hotel, you can hike to Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Drei Zinnen) in 3 hours an Prati di Croda Rossa (Rotwandwiesen) meadows in 1 hour. It’s a luxury to be able to arrive at your hotel, knowing that for the next few days, you don’t need to drive or take a bus to start hiking.

As its name suggests, Locanda Degli Artisti Art Hotel is an ode to art. Original paintings, drawings, and sculptures tastefully adorn every area of the hotel, including each bedroom. It’s essentially a living art gallery.
I relished the hotel’s eclectic interiors, innovative Ladin cuisine, and professional yet approachable staff.

The hotel atmosphere is casual and laid-back, in part because the on-site restaurant and bar is a local gathering place, open to everyone (not just hotel guests).
Stay here if you love art, bold design choices, and creative cuisine.

Hotel Col Alto is located in the middle of Corvara in Val Badia facing Sassongher. With its rustic, yet elegant alpine-modern design, Hotel Col Alto invites you to savor your time in the Dolomites inside as much as outside. Upon arriving, you’ll feel instantly taken care of.
Though Col Alto is a fine hotel, it never feels rigid or stiff. Whether you want to read by the fire or have a drink at the bar, there are plenty of spaces to unwind after a day of hiking, or skiing.
Our favorite part about staying in Hotel Col Alto is their 1000m2 spa and wellness area. All of the best Dolomites hotels can boast two saunas. However, Hotel Col Alto stands out with its five saunas, footbath, waterbeds, relaxation rooms, ice fountain, indoor pool, whirlpool, and Kneipp course. No one wants bad weather during their vacation, but if you’re staying here, poor weather isn’t unwelcome.
We were really impressed by the reception staff. Whether we needed laundry done in a hurry, or help figuring out where to hike, the receptionists accommodated all of our requests efficiently and kindly. Their competence and knowledge can’t be overstated.

Boasting views of the vertiginous Latemar peaks on one side and the Catinaccio (Rosengarten) range on the other, you’ll be instantly overwhelmed by the natural beauty of the hotel’s surroundings, especially from the indoor-outdoor pool.
The hotel’s location makes outdoor adventuring easy and effortless in both winter and summer. Located at the base of the Paolina chairlift, winter guests have direct access to the fabulous Carezza Ski Resort (40 km of slopes).
Summer guests can also take advantage of the Paolina chairlift in order to jumpstart their ascents to the famous Vajolet Towers and to the Roda di Vaèl/Rotwandhütte mountain hut. We started this 3-day hike across the Rosengarten Alps from Sporthotel Alpenrose.

Between 3 pm and 6 pm, a complimentary savory and sweet snack is served in the hotel’s living room, featuring more of the hotel pâtisserie’s cakes and pastries.
If you’re traveling off-season (early June, or October), I recommend booking an apartment, because many restaurants and eateries are seasonal in the Dolomites. The apartments are equipped with all needed appliances (dishwasher, stove, oven, fridge) and cooking utensils. There is a Conrad Supermarket, just up the street (1-minute walk from the hotel), which is very convenient.
San Vito di Cadore is located in Boite Valley, at the foot of the impressive Croda Marcora (Sorapiss group) and Antelao Mountain (3,264 meters), which is the second-highest mountain in the Dolomites. On the other side of the valley, the solitary Mount Pelmo rises above a vast forest belt.
During your stay, visit Cibiana di Cadore Village, which is a small village famous for its mural paintings and artistic heritage. Hike to Rifugio Scotter and Rifugio Marco. Eat Lunch at Rifugio Larin whilst enjoying views of Antelao Mountain and Boite Valley. This rifugio is accessible by car.
