Boutique in scale and big on style, Ancora Cortina pairs a prime Corso Italia address with 38 elegant rooms, a spoiling spa and gourmet dining, creating a refined yet relaxed base for exploring the Dolomites year-round.
Highlights
Tucked along the elegant promenade of Corso Italia, Ancora Cortina blends historic charm with contemporary alpine style in the very heart of Cortina d’Ampezzo. Step outside and the resort town’s boutiques, cafés and bars are on the doorstep, while the chairlifts and cable cars that unlock the Dolomites’ pristine slopes and hiking trails lie just a short stroll away. It is an inviting base for ski adventures in winter and high-alpine escapes through the warmer months, with views of jagged peaks framing almost every turn.?
Inside, the atmosphere is warm and intimate, with carefully considered details that make the property feel more private townhouse than hotel. There are just 38 rooms and suites, creating a sense of seclusion and personalized service that suits couples and small families alike. Each space is finished with a light touch of mountain design – think natural materials, soft textures and muted tones – balanced with modern comforts such as air-conditioning, high-quality bedding and sleek bathrooms.
Entry-level Superior Rooms offer a generous 30 sqm of space, with king or twin beds, a choice of shower or bathtub, minibar and tea and coffee facilities, ideal for shorter stays. Higher categories introduce balconies and sweeping Dolomite views, while the suites add separate living rooms, larger bathrooms and thoughtful touches such as bathrobes and blackout curtains for restorative nights’ sleep. At the top end, the Ancora and Presidential suites provide expansive multi-room layouts, private terraces with hot tubs and fire pits, and even steam baths and fireplaces, perfect for extended alpine escapes with family or friends.
Days here move to an easy rhythm. Mornings begin with generous breakfasts showcasing high-quality produce, setting you up for the slopes or a day’s hiking. Evenings can be as lively or relaxed as you wish: sip crafted cocktails in the cozy bar, linger over creative fine-dining plates or step out into town to sample Cortina’s buzzing restaurant scene. After a day in the mountains, the intimate spa beckons, with sauna, hot tub, steam room and Turkish bath easing tired legs. With its central location, polished yet relaxed interiors and spoiling wellness facilities, Ancora Cortina works beautifully as part of a wider personalized journey through the Dolomites and wider northern Italy.
