The best hotels in Cortina d'Ampezzo
Cortina is a town not a village and choosing a convenient place to stay is important. The best place is near the car-free Corsa Italia, within walking distance of the cable car into the Faloria ski area and the central bus station – or at a hotel with its own shuttle bus. Reaching the other ski areas, Tofana-Socrepes and Cinque Torri-Lagazuoi, entails a longer walk or bus ride.
That said, there’s a huge range of accommodation from guest houses to five-star hotels, plus apartments. Many hotels offer only B&B rather than half-board, leaving guests free to explore Cortina’s many restaurants.

Olimpia
This three-star B&B, just 50m from Corso Italia, was built for the 1956 Winter Olympics. Cosy and welcoming, Olimpia’s bedrooms vary in size and style, some with parquet floors, some with carpets, some with floral painted wardrobes and bedheads. There’s a bar and a smart spa area with sauna and hot tub.
