The 10 Best Hotels in the Dolomites to Book Now - AFAR
"Sitting at an elevation of more than 4,000 feet, the 44-room Miramonti Boutique Hotel is the passion project of owners Carmen and Klaus Alber, who transformed a staid retreat into one of the coolest getaways in the Italian Alps. Trading up from traditional Tyrolean rustic kitsch, Miramonti veers to Nordic minimalism with smooth lines, warm woods, and contemporary furniture. The focus is the view of the Merano Valley, with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the hotel, including in the rooms and the aptly named Panorama restaurant. Meanwhile, Miramonti’s infinity pool juts out into the clouds, and its spectacular onsen is an outdoor heated pool overlooking the mountains. If Miramonti looks familiar, that’s because it was the backdrop to 1977’s James Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me. The Albers pay homage to Bond every Sunday evening with a program of classic 007 films projected in the tea room. From $981 for two nights" - Erica Firpo, Laura Itzkowitz
