The Best Hotels in Castelrotto

A boutique ski hotel in the Val Gardena, with blond wood and black stone interiors and mountain views that make it hard to justify getting dressed. The spa runs across three floors with pools and saunas, the slopes are practically at the door, and the village of Ortisei is a short walk for anyone who needs a reason to leave. Holds a Forbes Five Star. Staff welcome you with a cocktail, which sets the tone for everything that follows.

The spa pool here drifts between indoors and outdoors, mirroring the Dolomite plateau around it until you genuinely can't tell where the building ends. This eco-conscious mountain resort, designed by a local firm using sustainable materials, earns its Forbes Four Star in the kind of setting that makes wellness-speak feel less embarrassing than usual. The COMO Shambhala spa runs Finnish and bio-herb saunas alongside guided snowshoe hikes, ski excursions, and summer climbs.
