Eight Cortina
Contemporary wellness minutes from the lifts
About this hotel
Eight Cortina builds a contemporary vision of mountain hospitality just a few minutes from both the centre of town and the ski lifts, aiming at guests who want the Dolomites without a strictly traditional chalet feel. The wellness side runs to a swimming pool, sauna and dedicated wellness areas, and dining spans two restaurants, one set inside the property's VIP Club for a different evening register. Rooms offer mountain views and satellite flat-screen TVs, and the day typically opens with a panoramic breakfast before guests split between outdoor activities and the pool or sauna.
- Swimming pool & sauna

- Contemporary design
Our take
This suits travellers who want the Dolomites setting with a more contemporary, design-forward feel than the town's older chalets offer, and who want a pool and sauna without leaving the property after skiing. Couples and small groups who want an evening scene beyond the room do well with the VIP Club restaurant. Anyone chasing a strictly traditional Alpine atmosphere might find this leans more modern than expected.
- Book the panoramic breakfast slot early if you want the quietest seating before the room fills up
- Use the pool and sauna in late afternoon between skiing and the evening restaurant service
- Try the VIP Club restaurant at least once for a different pace than the main dining room
Why we love it

Why guests love itWe liked that the centre and the ski lifts were only a few minutes away, yet the hotel itself felt calm and contemporary. The kids lived in the swimming pool while we enjoyed the sauna and wellness area, and our room had lovely mountain views. Breakfast with a panoramic outlook got everyone moving in the morning, and having two restaurants on site gave us options for dinner without leaving the hotel.
