There is little to find fault with at the sustainability-minded, upscale, 43-room Corona Dolomites Hotel. The building itself is well presented and the interiors are a mixture of contemporary smart and traditional cozy. Rooms are particularly modern, minimal, and well equipped, as is the spa and pool area. Mountain views can be enjoyed from many areas, though other hotels do obscure some of the views. An on-site restaurant and activities for kids make this a good spot for a family vacation. All-in-all it's a good pick in a convenient location a short walk from the ski lifts and the rates are more than reasonable.
Scene
Modern chalet-style hotel with plenty of traditional touches
From the outside, the Corona Dolomites Hotel shares many features you would expect from an Alpine-style chalet, only on a larger scale -- quaint fir-wood balconies are decorated with colorful flowerboxes and the whole property has as feeling of freshness and modernity while maintaining many traditional touches. The lobby is full of beautifully carved wood fixtures, from the ceiling to reception desk, and warm wood paneling and furnishings can be found throughout. The hotel attracts a mixture of families and couples, and depending on the season, either summer hikers or winter skiers.
Location
