"Owner Andrea Plattner grew up in the Plose and made the enormous massif his sole focus when he radically restyled his family’s hotel Anders Mountain Suites into a sumptuous seven-suite boutique. Sitting at more than 6,000 feet in elevation, Anders Suites is now a private enclave. Tyrolean architect Martin Gruber showcases a new version of minimalist mountain chic with a very contemporary cantilevered design of natural woods and concrete. (Imagine Frank Lloyd Wright and Richard Meier in the mountains). Each of the seven suites is paneled in warm spruce wood, with private saunas and few embellishments so as not to distract from the panoramic windows that showcase uninterrupted views of the Dolomites. A key feature of the resort is its ski-in, ski-out access, which puts summertime guests in a prime location for exploring the mountains on foot, too. From $724" - Erica Firpo, Laura Itzkowitz
