"Waking up here, I fuel up with a hearty breakfast while taking in the morning mountain vistas from the amphitheater dining room; the spread of locally made cheeses, house-made croissants, and other baked goods is not to be missed." - Laura Rysman

"Perched atop the Plose massif, this ski-in, ski-out wellness haven—once a tuberculosis sanatorium for Austrian royalty—now offers 62 rooms, a vast 21,500-plus–square-foot spa, wyda (a sort of Celtic yoga), and Yera, a new restaurant built inside a mountain cave." - Adam H. Graham

"Anchored by a 1912 Habsburg sanatorium designed by Otto Wagner, Forestis Dolomites blends seclusion and high style across three newly built towers that mirror the mountain geometry; accommodations celebrate larch timber and Alpine materials, while saunas with nature views (including an outdoor sauna cottage with its own cold plunge) and a steaming outdoor pool invite contemplation of the forested landscape. A newly opened five‑bedroom 1912 villa with a sprawling private spa is the only part of Forestis open to children, and the hotel’s new restaurant Yera serves experimental, forest-inspired cuisine in a cave carved from the mountainside alongside an exceptional in-house restaurant for guests." - Laura Rysman

"A mountain refuge in Italy’s Dolomites where guests can opt-in for silent rooms which offer a meditative place to lay your head every night." - Fiorella Valdesolo

"Although primarily adults‑only, this Dolomites nature retreat offers a new five‑bedroom villa that allows children and provides a contemporary, cozy base with a custom‑stocked kitchen, entertainment zone for private movie nights, a heated indoor‑outdoor pool, 24‑hour butler service and access to private guides, drivers and chefs for hiking, yoga, cooking classes and themed surprises tailored to family gatherings." - Kathryn Romeyn
