Hotel Lago di Braies

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hotel Pragser Wildsee. The location is incredibly beautiful and the New Year’s Eve celebration was truly special. We really appreciated that there were no fireworks. Instead, the hotel prepared a large and cozy bonfire, which created a very calm and pleasant atmosphere. The food was excellent, the stay was peaceful and relaxing, and we loved seeing so many dogs at the hotel, which gave the place a very warm and friendly feeling. The staff and guests alike were extremely kind. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would happily come back.

This place is straight magic. It is a one-of-a-kind hotel on one of the most beautiful small lakes in (presumably) the world. The lake is completely glass in the morning. Quiet, serene, beautiful. There are tons of people there every morning taking photos. The hotel itself is a gem - unique breakfast buffet and dinners provided by the hotel, every event and meal is classy and the staff is professional and kind. It is our understanding that the summertime is nuts - you would need to make reservations well in advance of your travel. By the time it gets to the end of September/early October, though, it is not considered peak season anymore and getting a room should be a bit easier. We don't understand why the Fall is considered to be "non-peak season"...it is absolutely stunning. We would highly highly recommend this hotel and the whole experience! The hotel is not a Marriott or IHG or Hilton, etc. - it is unique and one-of-a-kind. With that, the rooms are older and not updated with all the latest fancy hotel designs and decor. It is not meant to be a place like the chain hotels, so don't expect that. The floors are a little creaky, the furniture is older, but you can't beat the history, the landscape, and the overall experience.

An absolutely unforgettable stay at Hotel Lago di Braies. The location is simply perfect, right by the lake with breathtaking views that feel like a postcard in real life. Waking up to the mountains and the peaceful atmosphere was truly magical. The service was excellent from start to finish: professional, friendly, and always helpful. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well organized

I’ve stayed at many hotels over the years, but Hotel Lago di Braies exceeded all my expectations and experiences. The staff were simply fantastic❤️ – exceptionally attentive, kind, and cooperative. The rooms are authentic and comfortable, the cocktails and food are absolutely perfect. The restaurant is spacious, calm, and accompanied by pleasant music — the bar as well, with an impressive selection of drinks. There are few autumn experiences more wonderful than taking a morning walk around the lake and then enjoying the breathtaking view from your room. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone — you won’t be disappointed!❤️❤️❤️

We absolutely loved staying here for 4 nights of our vacation. We had exceptional care and service by all staff from arrival to the food service, drinks, etc. You can’t beat the location because this lake is one of the most beautiful you will find in the area. The proximity and backdrop of the mountains is unmatched by other turquoise lakes in the area. So many hiking trails lead from here as well. To be able to wake up to the lake view is amazing and to have access to it before and after all of the crowds is nice. Parking is convenient right beside hotel and getting in and out each day is easy even with the crowds coming to the lake. We were on an upper level floor so the view was wonderful from the balcony but there were lots of stairs to climb each way. There is an elevator but it is small and slow, so it’s easier to use the stairs, but elevator use is available for those who need it. After all the wonderful food each evening, the extra steps were good for us! We can’t wait to come back one day!

Magical hotel right on the edge of lago di braies. The hotel is closed off to non-guests which creates an oasis of calm in an otherwise crowded area (in high season). Family run with wonderful attention to detail, such as daily special events for afternoon tea, drinks and dinner: fresh fruit and juices, exceptional buffet dinner in the garden one night, the likes of a five star hotel. Lovely hang out space outside on the lake side. Simple and beautiful old chalet style rooms - we stayed both in a lake view room and a family forest view room - the lake view rooms are definitely worth it. Would avoid the forest view family room, as just above the kitchen exhaust and the smell is extremely strong. Would highly recommend - a wonderful stay

Historic and well mainted hotel. Nicest room, showers and bed of our trip. Breakfast was great with lots of protein and veggie options. Dinner was also great with appetizer buffet and then 3 courses after that all for 35 euros. Restaurant staff was very friendly and welcoming. You don't get private access to the lake and it does get busy around noon but staying right next to the lake makes it easy to get an early start when there are next to no people on the lake yet

Amazing location and amazing hotel! We had a wonderful experience with both reception and dining employees. The reception was very helpful when it came to lost luggage delivery even after the lobby had closed and they were not obligated to help in any way but still chose to. The restaurant, bar, and cleaning staff were all very kind and patient. Above and beyond service! The staff have to protect the peace of the hotel and lake as well as their own respect, at the same time being of a different culture than most guests. My experience with the staff was great and times when I thought "this is different than what I'm used to back home" were moments for me to grow in how I understand and engage with cultural differences. We are guests, even if we are paying guests, we need to be more mindful of our own attitudes before micromanaging the attitudes of those who live here. This is their home while it is only our vacation.
