Find Apartments in Cortina d'Ampezzo

Our stay at the Grand Hotel Savoia Cortina d'Ampezzo was very pleasant and memorable. The concierge, Diana Kirtadze, gave us good guidance for the hikes we wanted to do. The kitchen staff packed us a nice breakfast box and had it ready and waiting for us at the front desk super early for our hike that morning. The breakfast buffet was extensive; had everything one could ever want for breakfast - all kinds of fresh fruits and juices, breads, eggs, pastries, cold cuts, cereal, yogurt, cheeses, teas, coffees, warm porridge and egg preparations made to order .... the food was freshly made, delicious, and beautifully displayed. I wish they had more vegetarian choices for dinner. We received impeccable service from Giovanni Rizzo and his team, at breakfast and dinner, during our stay. They were polite, friendly and struck a perfect balance between being attentive without being intrusive. The turndown service at this property was rather nice too. The housekeeping staff served us with a smile; they got us a portable fan on a warm night, and gave us several extra bottles of drinking water (choice of still or sparkling) when we asked for them. We had a lovely stay at this property - their balsamic vinegar, olive oil (Vibianini) and tiramisu were the best yet!

We stayed for 4 nights during the last week of September and early October & it was our first time in the Dolomites. It was walking distance to town and there is free parking in the hotel. It was in a good location where restaurants and shops are walking distance. We ate dinner in restaurants close by. At check in, the reception gave us a list of recommended restaurants. The staff were nice. The breakfast was filling and they offered a variety of food and drinks. The pastries were not so good. We had better ones in the hotel at Val Gardena. On our first night, there was a big bus and in the morning, the breakfast area was so full & chaotic. There was almost no table available. The coffee/espresso maker line was very long and they ran out of cups, etc. I felt sorry for the staff who looked overwhelmed. Thank goodness that the next 3 days were better since we were in a rush to go to the mountains. We had a standard room in the Annex with a good view of the mountains & a little patio with chairs. It was quiet at night. The room rate we got was reasonably priced for the area. I was a little chilly at night and the hotel staff told us that they don’t turn on the gas until winter. Overall, our stay was good.

The spa! Wonderful. The breakfast spread too. Our room was small but fine. Was surprised that at this price point there isn’t air conditioning, and in August it was warm in our room. They offered us a fan but I’m not sure it worked (could have been user error & we never said anything to them about it; I have no doubt the front desk would have responded promptly had we asked, given their consistently excellent & responsive service). Very convenient & easy garage parking underground that felt secure. Service from front desk was outstanding—truly above & beyond. The dining was so-so, very expensive for what it was, with rather neglectful service in the end (after a strong start). You will want to be dressed nicely at dinner. Gym was also very, very nice. The spa was the best part for me— cold plunge, multiple saunas, massage stations in the pool—loved it. Note that this hotel is a little out of town & the traffic was awful while we were there. For driving the mountain passes, you may want to be on the other side of town, but I’d stay here again regardless.

Amazing, friendly staff!! They overwhelmed us with their kindness and their Helpfulness. We were looking more than just for a hotel room because we were in Cortina to ski for the week and this place was perfect! The kitchenette made it fast and convenient to feed the kids before we left all day. Bunk beds in the second bedroom is an absolute must instead of the pull out sofa, extra storage for all our luggage and ski Clothes made this way more enjoyable than 2 Queens across the street at their hotel. Across the street you do get access to the spa, pool and full Breakfast if you choose. Not to mention the location couldn’t have been better! Walking distance to shopping, bars, and restaurants. We only pulled our car out to drive to the different mountains. Hands down this checked all the boxes.

We arrived early because the weather was not looking good and we decided to cancel our hike. Fortunately the room was ready for us. Hotel Olimpia normally charge 15 euros per day for parking but we were originally booked in Hotel Al Larin which has free parking, they honoured free parking for me in Hotel Olimpia. That was good because the carpark is behind and our room was on the ground floor. So we did not have to go up nor down any stairs with our luggage. Otherwise from the street there is a long flight of stairs to the hotel reception and if your room is upstairs, more stairs to climb. The room was of adequate size for 3 of us. The bathroom was very small though and smells of mold. There was a kettle. coffee and tea, but no fridge. The tv didn't have any English channels. The picture here in Tripadvisor are old. Our room was newly renovated with modern decor which is different from their old pictures with dated decor. However they did not have blackout curtains. Also our room face the road and a carpark. So there was traffic noise even till late. We could sleep but light sleepers might find it bothersome. The room was clean and beds comfortable. There are toiletries and the shower is strong and hot. Breakfast had limited variety and the first morning the croissants were either burnt or cold. The hard boiled eggs were cold too. Unfortunately for us, we were mostly stuck in the hotel for the 2 days we were there because it rained all day. The hotel is near shops and restaurants so we could walk around a bit but not for 2 whole days. We will be back and will stay in hotel Olimpia again for its central location.

This hidden gem is among the best hotels that Cortina can offer. The most outstanding part of our hotel stay was hotel's excellent service. We call it four-star hotel with five-star service. The front desk staff are super friendly and helpful. The room is goo d size and very clean with a good view. The hotel is located out of the city of Cortina but is within a walk distance if weather is good enough. The hotel's surroundings are simply beautiful with a lot of plants and flowers. Too bad we didn't get a chance to use the outdoor sitting areas due to bad weather. The hotel provides shuttle service to the city center. We used the shuttle on a rainy day and worked out well. The hotel restaurant's food and service are both good so we ended up having dinners in the hotel restaurant. Breakfast was good, too, though rather standard in many Dolomites hotels. The swimming pool, spa, and sauna are big plus after hiking though 20-min required booking slots can sometimes be a little too tight. Overall we enjoyed the spa facilities. We wished that we could stay in this hotel a bit longer but the hotel was sold out. Well, will stay in this hotel if we visit Cortina again.

The room we booked was nothing like what was advertised. The “view” that was described was actually a view of the parking lot and no view of the Dolomites. The front desk staff were very kind and helpful and moved our room, but it appeared they were only able to because the hotel was empty. There was a thermostat in the room but absolutely no cold air coming in so we had to open the door that was connected to another hotel members balcony, plus allowed horrendous busy street noise into the room. The hotel being $800+ a night PLUS additional fees ($50 per night for parking, $25 room service fee when the kitchen is only 2 floors down) is absurd. The only thing I have to say about this hotel being nice is the staff. The updated rooms is the only thing this hotel has to offer and it does not make up for the poor room “view” advertising and uncalled for additional fees. Breakfast was included but the only thing you can order is eggs. Only allowing 60 minutes per STAY in the spa is not okay either, or again having to pay more if you’d like to stay more than an hour. I will never stay at this hotel again. It was a total rip off.
