Not many hotels can claim residence within a UNESCO world heritage site, but the spectacular Alpe di Siusi qualify, and the COMO Alpina Dolomites is both immersed in, and inspired by, Italy’s famous peaks. This luxurious lodge offers as adventurous an outdoor experience as you like, paired with all the five-star comforts you can handle, including an elaborate spa. Rooms and suites are spacious and tasteful, Alpine in inspiration though contemporary in style, and each room has a balcony or a terrace with a view. The Lodge’s three restaurants offer both Mediterranean and international fare, with a focus on ecologically sourced ingredients, and the bar and cigar lounge each provide a welcoming space to end — or begin — an evening.
