The best accommodations in the Dolomites

Location in the mountains

Whether you prefer slopes right outside your door or tranquil mountain views, location makes all the difference. Valley stays like in Brunico or Cortina d’Ampezzo offer convenience near lifts and restaurants, while mountain chalets on Kronplatz or Alpe di Siusi boast breathtaking panoramas and privacy.

Type of accommodation – Dolomites Italy

As varied as the mountain range itself, the Dolomites accommodation options cater to all tastes and budgets. You can choose between hotels, apartments, chalets, farm stays (Agriturismi) or camping. Hotels provide comfort and service; apartments offer space and independence; chalets add exclusivity; farm stays immerse you in authentic local life.

Facilities & services

Focus on what matters most: wellness and spa, kitchenette, family-friendly spaces, pet-friendly options, or parking availability. Many Dolomites stays blend modern design with alpine character – think wood, stone, and vast panoramic windows.

Budget & season

Rates vary widely by location and season. Early booking secures the best deals, especially for highly interesting periods like Christmas, ski season, or hiking season in summer.

• For families: Spacious apartments or farm stays with animals and playgrounds, offering freedom and comfort in nature.
• For couples & peace seekers: Boutique or adults-only hotels with spas, gourmet dining, and romantic alpine views.
• For active travellers: Ski-in/ski-out hotels in winter on world-class ski slopes, bike-friendly apartments in summer – all close to lifts or hiking trails.
• For nature & tradition lovers: Family-run Agriturismi with home-made produce and cosy interiors, ideal for an authentic Dolomites experience.

Regional highlights of Dolomites stays

From the spectacular Sellaronda ski circuit to the charming villages of Alta Badia and the serene meadows of Alpe do Siusi, every part of the Dolomites has its own unique appeal. South Tyrol/Alto Adige is where alpine charm meets design, with elegant spa hotels, Ladin hospitality, and fine dining. Trentino, on the other hand, is family-friendly and authentically Italian. There are many apartments with kitchens, close to lakes and walking routes. Belluno in Veneto is a paradise for nature lovers: Boutique hotels and chalets offer views of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo or Lake Misurina.
