Welcome to Hotel Winkler in Santo Stefano

Hotel Winkler in Santo Stefano, at the foot of Kronplatz, invites you to discover a retreat, where every detail is crafted for splendour and comfort. Set on a sunlit plateau just a short drive from the lifts of the Kronplatz/Plan de Corones ski area, the hotel blends avant-garde architecture with natural materials – wood, stone, and glass merge to frame sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. Spacious, light-filled rooms and suites open onto balconies or terraces, offering a sense of both privacy and panorama. Whether you arrive for skiing, hiking, gourmet indulgence or wellness, Hotel Winkler ensures your stay feels elevated and bespoke.

Gourmet cuisine & holistic wellness

Culinary and wellbeing converge beautifully at Hotel Winkler. Each day begins with an abundant breakfast spread showcasing regional delicacies, artisan breads, and fresh products. Come evening, the restaurant serves multi-course menus that thoughtfully integrate South Tyrolean tradition, Mediterranean flair, and carefully selected wines. Parallel to dining, the wellness world spans 3,500 m² – with seven pools (indoor and outdoor), panoramic relaxation rooms, specialized spa suites, saunas, steam-baths, and private treatments. Whether you unwind beneath mountain skies or elevate your energy with yoga, personal training or guided hikes, Hotel Winkler invites you into a full-spectrum renewal.

Activities & region-based adventure

Located near the top-tier ski and outdoor destination of the Dolomites, Hotel Winkler in Santo Stefano/San Lorenzo is an ideal base for activity-rich stays. In the warm season, the surrounding trails, mountain-bike routes, and panoramic meadows invite exploration; nearby golf-club privileges add variety for those who wish to swing clubs in alpine air. In winter, access to the Kronplatz ski lifts is swift, with wide networks of slopes, snow-shoe paths and cross-country tracks awaiting. The elevated setting also means you will enjoy clear mountain light, fresh air and views that elevate every moment of your stay.

The Hotel Winkler is my haven of peace and relaxation, where I return every year when I need to recharge. Impeccable hospitality, kind and professional staff, a wonderful spa with saunas and steam rooms, and fabulous cuisine: sumptuous breakfasts and always delicious evening menus. A heartfelt thank you to all the staff at the Winkler Hotel: you make this place truly special!

A beautiful hotel, beautifully designed, in a panoramic location. The 3/4 board was excellent, the chefs were excellent. Breakfast was varied and featured many local products. The lunch buffet was a bit sparse, with a long line at the first course station (I would recommend the soup of the day if it were available at the buffet). Dinner was excellent, with a varied menu, delicious meats, super professional wait staff, and 5-star service. The spa was very beautiful, as were the pools and common areas. Overall, I found it a little underheated compared to other hotels I've stayed at.

A dream stay at Hotel Winkler – perfection down to the last detail! We had the pleasure of spending seven wonderful days at Hotel Winkler over the autumn holidays and were absolutely delighted. From the moment we arrived, we realized that service, quality, and hospitality are paramount here. Our car was parked for us, all our luggage was taken to our room, and we were able to start our holiday right away with a fantastic breakfast (for a reasonable surcharge). Our room was even ready at 9:30 am – amazing! Food & Service: The breakfast is incredibly varied and high-quality: fresh egg dishes, waffles, crepes, regional products, and even à la carte options. In the afternoon (2–5 pm), fresh pasta, pizza, salads, cheeses, and a wonderful selection of pastries await. In the evening, there is a six-course menu with a wide variety of choices, including vegetarian options. A children's menu and special requests are lovingly accommodated. The staff is attentive, warm, and always available – service at its absolute best! A particularly pleasant feature: Everyone in the hotel is on a first-name basis, which creates a relaxed atmosphere. Wellness & Spa: Heated indoor (17 m) and outdoor (25 m) pools, a large whirlpool, a rooftop pool with views of the Dolomites, numerous relaxation rooms, infrared loungers, a plunge pool, and several saunas. The wellness area is beautifully designed, tranquil, and well-maintained. The sauna week with international sauna masters was especially impressive – seven themed infusions daily, a truly unique experience! Another great feature: The spa can be used free of charge until 2 p.m. on the day of departure (until 6 p.m. for a small additional fee, including afternoon tea). Activities & Excursions: Daily yoga, Pilates, meditation with singing bowls, guided hikes, and a modern fitness studio are offered. The hotel provides fantastic excursions for children, such as trips to the petting zoo in the hotel's own 8-seater bus or pony rides (for a small additional fee). Everything is perfectly organized and thoughtfully executed. Childcare: From 10:00 AM to 9:30 PM, there's a varied program: arts and crafts, climbing, movies, a kids' disco, and creative activities. The children can choose what they want to do – the team is warm, flexible, and incredibly dedicated. A particularly nice feature: the hotel isn't a typical children's hotel, but it offers the perfect balance between family-friendliness and relaxation for adults. A small suggestion for improvement: A half-hour overlap between shifts at 2:00 PM would be ideal to make things easier for the children. Rooms & Atmosphere: Light wood tones, warm colors, underfloor heating, a modern bathroom, and a balcony with a hanging chair – all around cozy. With approximately 70 rooms (around 200 guests), the hotel never feels crowded. In the evenings, live music, a crackling fireplace, and pleasant conversations at the bar create a wonderful ambiance. Conclusion: Hotel Winkler is a place where luxury, warmth, and well-being come together perfectly. Priced in the premium segment, but worth every penny. We will definitely be back – highly recommended! (Small idea: A swimwear dryer in the spa would be practical)

We stayed at Hotel Winkler with our eleven-year-old daughter. The hotel was fantastic. We (from South Tyrol) have already stayed in several five-star hotels in South Tyrol. Hotel Winkler is definitely one of the best addresses in South Tyrol. The hotel's furnishings are modern and very beautiful. The food was outstanding, and I mean absolutely everything. From the quality to the portion sizes and the presentation. Something new every day, whether in the morning, afternoon, or evening. The wine list also had something to offer everyone. In addition, our head waiter, Irmi, was wonderful and provided us with excellent advice and entertainment every evening. That's an essential part of a great meal. The live music in the bar in the evening was also very nice, and there were plenty of board games available. The spa area with saunas and the stunning sky pool was absolutely amazing. The sunsets at the sky pool were very romantic. The large whirlpool was very well heated and we used it frequently, even though we had a private whirlpool on our room's terrace thanks to an upgrade from the hotel. Our daughter had a fantastic time too. From horseback riding and quad biking to climbing, laser shows, and games nights, there was something for everyone. Plus, downstairs there was free billiards, table tennis, table football, a sports hall, and much more. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back.
