Hotel Des Alpes
Sauna, hot tub and Turkish bath after the slopes
About this hotel
Hotel Des Alpes sits 2km from the centre of Cortina d'Ampezzo, with Alpine-style rooms, free Wi-Fi and free parking, and the Tofana cable car 1.4km away for guests heading to the slopes. Rooms are wood-furnished with an LCD TV and satellite channels, and the private bathroom includes free toiletries and a hairdryer. The restaurant is open daily and serves local specialities, with breakfast covering hot drinks, croissants and cold cuts. After a day on the slopes, the wellness services extend to sauna, hot tub and Turkish bath, though these carry an extra cost rather than being bundled into the room rate.
- Sauna, hot tub & Turkish bath
- Free parking
- Near Tofana cable car
- Local restaurant
Our take
This suits travellers who want the full wellness trio, sauna, hot tub and Turkish bath, together in one hotel, and who are comfortable with a slightly longer 1.4km distance to the Tofana cable car in exchange for free parking and a quieter setting. Guests should budget separately for the wellness services rather than assuming they are included. Skiers wanting ski-to-door convenience should compare against more central properties, Des Alpes trades some proximity for value.
- Budget separately for the wellness services, sauna, hot tub and Turkish bath cost extra here
- Use free parking if driving in, and plan for the 1.4km distance to the Tofana cable car
- Ask about local specialities at the restaurant rather than expecting an international menu

Why guests love itHotel Des Alpes is 2km from the centre of Cortina, which suited us fine because the free parking made driving to the Tofana cable car, 1.4km away, very easy. The Alpine-style rooms felt cosy and the restaurant served local specialities every day, so we rarely went elsewhere for dinner. Breakfast was simple but filling with croissants and cold cuts. The sauna, hot tub and Turkish bath cost extra, but we treated ourselves twice.
