“The Ultimate Active Experience in the Dolomites”
We select lodging in each place we visit that provides the most authentic experience of the region. Hotels and chalets are available in the larger villages, while agriturismos (B&B style) are more common in rural areas. Below you will find some of the hotels and B&Bs we recommend for your Dolomite Mountains adventure.
Hotel Ambra, Dolomites
The four-star Hotel Ambra Cortina is one of themost prestigious and highly awarded hotels in Cortina d'Ampezzo. While the exterior is a characteristic mountain style hotel, distinguished by a deep yellow color and an elegant façade, the lounges and 25 guest rooms are decorated with elegance and a careful eye for detail, completely furnished with antiques and paintings, all strongly reflective of Cortina d’Ampezzo’s style. From this quiet but centrally located hotel, you will enjoy incredible open views over the valley and the Dolomites, with easy access to the Cortina bell tower, Corso Italia, the pedestrian precinct in the center of Cortina, and the Faloria Cableway just a few steps away.
