Ancora Cortina
Reinvented alpine classic — fashion-world sensibility meets mountain heritage. Jewel-box interiors, a speakeasy basement club, and a no-selfies policy. Think Soho House meets Dolomites.
Premium Room 507 has a roof window for stargazing above the Dolomite massifs — ask for it specifically.
Why It Matters
The oldest hotel in Cortina d'Ampezzo, completely reimagined by the founder of Diesel and Vicky Charles (former Soho House Design Director) ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics. One of very few truly luxury addresses in what will be the Olympic host city. LEED certified for sustainability.
Cortina's oldest hotel — founded in 1826 — got a full gut renovation under the eye of owner Renzo Rosso (the Diesel founder who also owns Marni, Jil Sander, and Maison Margiela) and designer Vicky Charles of Charles & Co. The result is 38 rooms and suites that trade the old-world fussiness for dark wood panelling, silk velvet, bespoke Molteni&C furniture, and Dolomite views. Right on Corso Italia's pedestrian strip, it's the only address in Cortina where you can walk out the door, grab an espresso, and be at the Faloria cable car in three minutes flat.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Ancora Suite
The top-floor flagship at 102 sqm. Two bedrooms, a full lounge, a kitchen, and a private panoramic terrace kitted out with a hot tub, a dining table, and an outdoor fireplace. Sleeps four. This is the place for families or groups who want genuine space and a private Dolomite backdrop you won't forget.
Two double bedrooms · 102 sqm
Deluxe Room
36–42 sqm rooms with en suite shower or bathtub. Larger than the Superior and Premium, but without a balcony. Still the same quality finish: dark wood panelling, silk velvet upholstery, bespoke furnishings.
Double or twin · 39 sqm
Executive Suite
45 sqm with a separate lounge area, sleeping up to three. Shower and bathtub in the bathroom. Good for a couple who wants real separation between the sleeping and living spaces without going full Grand Suite territory.
Double · 45 sqmGrand Suite
At 60 sqm, the Grand Suite is the one to book for an extended stay. Some have a gas fireplace — genuinely useful in winter — plus a Technogym bench and a terrace or balcony. Three people can sleep here comfortably.
Double · 60 sqmJunior Suite
36–44 sqm with a private balcony. Some have both a shower and a bathtub. The balcony is a real draw — great for morning coffee with mountain views. Three accessible Junior Suites available for wheelchair users (bookable on request).
Double or twin · 40 sqmPremium Room
Between 31–35 sqm with a private balcony. Room 507 is the standout — beamed ceiling and a roof window that frames the night sky above the Dolomites. Worth requesting by number.
Double or twin · 33 sqmPrestige Suite
Same footprint as the Executive Suite at 45 sqm, but adds a Technogym bench and a terrace or balcony. Ideal if you want to squeeze in a workout without heading to the gym floor. Baby cot included at no charge.
Double · 45 sqmSuperior Room
At 30 sqm these are the smallest rooms in the house, but they're well put together. Dark timber walls, soft textures, Illy coffee machine and a kettle. Bathroom has either a shower or a bathtub — worth specifying when booking. Views are either to Corso Italia or the mountains depending on room.
