21 Best Hotels and Resorts in Europe and the UK: The Gold List 2026 | Condé Nast Traveler

"Nature dictates everything at this CO2-neutral A-list hideaway in the Italian Dolomites. The site was chosen for its abundant sunshine, spring water, mountain air, and views of the jagged Odle massif, which is framed by picture windows in all 62 minimalist suites. The landscape is woven into the biophilic architecture, Celtic wellness rituals, and intricate “forest cuisine.” After hiking or skiing in the Plose mountains, guests can recharge over a tasting menu in the amphitheatre restaurant as the sun sets with all the drama of Mount Doom. The history of the complex is similarly dramatic: conceived in 1912 as a sanatorium for Austro-Hungarian aristocrats, it lay dormant for years. For its relaunch in 2020, Stefan and Teresa Hinteregger added three 12-story towers and an astonishing spa with a swim-in, swim-out pool; a villa for 10 followed in December 2024, and a concept restaurant, Yera, which celebrates the fruits of the forest around a firepit in a cave, arrived in June." - CNT Editors
