Hotel Columbia & Spa
Panoramic terrace and spa-bath suites 300m from the slopes
About this hotel
Hotel Columbia & Spa sits within Cortina d'Ampezzo ski resort, offering satellite TV with English, Italian, German and Russian channels and a terrace with panoramic views over the Dolomites. Rooms are decorated in a traditional Tyrolean style, and the newly built section of the hotel offers spacious suites with a spa bath for a more elevated stay. Most rooms carry a balcony with mountain views. Breakfast is a sweet and savoury buffet served in a cosy Alpine-style dining room, and for lunch and dinner the staff recommend the best nearby restaurants rather than confining guests to a single menu. The Tofana Col Druscie ski slopes are 300 metres away, with a heated ski and boot storage space on site.

- Panoramic terrace
- Heated ski storage
Our take
This suits skiers who want a short, 300-metre walk to the Tofana Col Druscie slopes plus the option to upgrade into a spa-bath suite for a more elevated stay. The multi-language TV channels are a small but real convenience for international guests. Travellers wanting a full on-site restaurant every night should note the staff lean on local recommendations rather than an exhaustive in-house menu.
- Book a newly built suite with spa bath if you want more than the standard Tyrolean-style room
- Use the heated ski and boot storage room daily rather than drying gear in your own room
- Ask staff for restaurant recommendations rather than assuming an extensive in-house dinner menu
Why we love it
- 300m from the Tofana Col Druscie slopes
- Spa-bath suites in the newly built section
- Panoramic Dolomite-view terrace
- Heated ski and boot storage
Why guests love itBeing 300 metres from the Tofana Col Druscie slopes meant the kids were on snow before the coffee went cold. Most rooms have a balcony facing the mountains, and ours framed the Dolomites beautifully at sunset. Heated ski storage sent us out each morning with dry boots, and the panoramic terrace became our après spot. If you can stretch to a suite, the spa bath is a real treat after a long day on the pistes.
