The house
Le GraalContemporary alpine palazzo
This restored 1920s palazzo trades rustic chalet timber for tailored Italian polish, welcoming travelers across all four seasons.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Brushed-oak Versailles flooring, white dolomitic stone, and colorful marbles replace typical alpine wood.
Notable
Achille Salvagni's custom velvet interiors frame unobstructed views across the Dolomites.
Notable
Alpine recovery protocols center on a cryotherapy chamber and a fireplace spa suite.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Pedestrianized Corso Italia sits just steps from the door, with ski lifts and hiking trails within easy walking distance.
The rooms
Oak Versailles parquet and colored marble finish the bedrooms, where windows look straight out onto the Dolomites.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa
An indoor swimming pool sits beside a sauna and cold plunge, aiding recovery after long days in the mountains.
At the table
Le Monsù brings Sicilian seafood to the mountains, and Le Graal Bar mixes twists on the classic Negroni.
How it began
The building began life in the 1920s as Hotel Italia, an Austrian heritage landmark set in the town center.
