Cristallo, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Cortina d'Ampezzo

Set above Cortina d’Ampezzo in the Dolomites, Cristallo is a historic mountain grand hotel long associated with the town’s classic ski-and-summer scene. The property is currently closed for works as part of a major renovation; once completed, it is expected to welcome guests under the Mandarin Oriental brand. Traditionally, stays here have centred on Alpine views, a resort layout with generous public rooms, and an emphasis on wellness alongside outdoor access, from slopes in winter to hiking and cycling when the snow clears. On reopening, travellers can reasonably expect upgraded accommodation with contemporary comforts, refreshed spa facilities, and dining that balances Italian flavours with an international resort approach, all in a setting that remains rooted in Cortina’s belle époque identity.
