Modernist Alpine chalet
The hotel rethinks classic mountain lodges, replacing heavy dark beams with pale wood, clean lines, and an open hearth.

Themed guest floors match pale fir panelling with mid-century Eames and Jacobsen chairs.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The combo lobby-lounge has an always-roaring fire. If that’s not enough, the staff will happily provide blankets to guests who wish to enjoy a drink, a book, or a nibble from the restaurant while so ensconced.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The Spinale and 5 Laghi cable cars sit a short walk away, giving swift access to the Brenta Dolomites.
The rooms
Bedrooms are lined in pale fir with wool or velvet textures, and selected rooms have fireplaces or mini climbing walls.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Subterranean mosaic tiles line the heated indoor pool, and counter-current swimming jets run beneath soft chromotherapy lighting.
The spa
Private treatment rooms host mountain sports massages, and bathers move between a Finnish sauna and Turkish steam room.
Restaurant
Ristorante Dolomieu
Candlelit tables sit beneath antler chandeliers in the fir stube, where Michelin-starred dishes span from Lake Garda to the Dolomites.
At the table
DV Bistrot serves homemade pasta and daily breakfast, and torches illuminate the timber dining terrace at dusk.
How it began

The name stands for Dolce Vita, chosen by the local Zambotti family when they built a sleek alternative to rustic ski lodges.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
