The house
RadissonRestyled Alpine palace
Cortina’s original grand hotel trades heavy palace ornament for clean-lined Italian modernism, with Dolomite views from the terrace.

2025
The 2009 renovation turned an old-fashioned Alpine classic into a thoroughly contemporary and not at all unstylish Alpine luxury hotel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open onto Via Roma, just a five-minute stroll from the cafes and boutiques along pedestrian Corso Italia.

The rooms
Rooms keep to pale hardwood floors and understated Italian furniture, looking straight out toward the Dolomite peaks.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated indoor pool sits beneath soft lighting, flanked by mosaic pillars and tiered wooden platforms.
The spa
The 750-square-metre spa includes a Turkish bath, a Finnish sauna, and body rituals using Comfort Zone essential oils.
At the table
Ristorante Savoy serves Ampezzo casunziei beside large alpine windows, and 1224 Bar Lounge rolls out a tableside cocktail trolley.
How it began
The Art Nouveau palace first opened its doors in 1912, when Cortina was still part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
