La Perla Hotel Review | Hotels Above Par

"A family-run alpine chalet that began as a six-room house in 1939 and is now a stylish 51-key retreat, blending three generations of Costa family tradition with modern luxury and sweeping Dolomite views (notably from the sauna). Rooms are warm and story-filled, furnished with antiques selected by Annie Costa, roomy bathtubs for post-ski soaks, cozy breakfast nooks, and balconies overlooking the mountains. Dining is a highlight, from rustic Ladin comfort at Les Stües to the Michelin-starred La Stüa de Michil (generous portions), plus an award-winning Mahatma Wine Cellar, a casual Italian-Mediterranean Bistrot Music Club, the seasonal brewery-and-après-ski vibe of L’Murin, and Restaurant Ladinia with panoramic views of Mount Sassongher. The Salus per Aquam spa offers a postcard-worthy sauna, indoor pool, Turkish baths, Kneipp treatments and a full menu of wellness treatments. With ski-in/ski-out access to the Dolomiti Superski area (over 745 miles of runs) and the Gran Risa World Cup slope nearby, guided hikes and summer treks up Sassongher and Piz Boè, and easy access to the Sellaronda route and local Ladin specialties like speck and canederli, it functions as a true year-round base for both outdoor adventure and relaxed luxury; rates start around $702/night and the closest airport is Bolzano (BZO)."
