COMO Alpina Dolomites

This was the nicest hotel we stayed in. It was excellent and beautiful. The restraunts and bar were also wonderful. The pool was relaxing and views stunning. Only issue was it was 1. The most expensive place we stayed in Italy and 2. Somehow was the only place without AC during sweltering heat. Still, hard not to recommend for the Dolomites.

The stunning beauty of the surrounding area, combined with the luxurious rooms and spa facilities, was incredibly unique and enjoyable. The staff, from the front desk and concierge, to the restaurants, bars, and spa were top-notch. Breakfast each morning was sumptuous, and all of our meals were filled with locally sourced food and wine options. The massage I had with Simone was one of the top 5 I've ever had, and the spa facilities were excellent.

As a seasoned traveler, who has stayed at Como properties before, I must admit that I was disappointed by my recent stay at Como Alpina. While the images and closed road rules suggest a very private experience, note that the ski gondola terminus station is literally right next to the hotel, dumping hundreds of tourists everyday in the summer. Ski hotels also don't have air conditioning so you need to keep your outside door open during the day and at night, which is unfortunate since the noise of the ski lift machinery runs from about 7:30 am to 7 pm every day. The food at the Como was also underwhelming with strange menu combinations which often attempted to blend Italian and German cuisine, which is not a good combination. While the location of the hotel is in many respects ideal, there are many other high end hotels in the Dolomites that are much more intimate, with better value. Given the nearly $1000 a night rate, which did not include dinner, I would recommend other options.

An exquisite resort, complete with extraordinary mountain views, attentive staff, impeccably clean + comfortable accommodations, and outstanding restaurant options. Bonus: happy cows grazing in a nearby pasture; a heavenly spa with water beds, saunas, and much more; welcome goodie bags for children; billiards, telescopes, and the most fun indoor-outdoor pool I’ve yet to encounter! It’s very hard to leave this place. And when you do, you’ll want to return as soon as possible. Thank you to the entire team for making our 3 nights there so special!

The hotel staff was amazing. The setting is impossible to beat - nestled in a broad curve of the mountains under which there are endless rolling fields. We’re so glad we got to spend some time here, and can’t wait to come back!
