Very good organised place full with kind and well trained people. Premise is modern, clean and well maintained. Dinner is away from hotel food. You can named it -fine dining, with extensive wine list.
Location is remote but in the centre of beautiful Alpe de Suisse.
Everything was just perfect and unforgettable. Special thanks for Ms. Stefany for her kindness.

We stayed in this hotel for 2 days in May 2024.
And I would definitely come again!!
Rooms are big, comfy, with a magnificent view. The food in the restaurant was outstanding!! The restaurant stuff really polite. My 5 year old was very welcomed.
There was no crowd in the swimming pool area so we almost had a pool for ourselves. Can not speak about sauna and fitness area because I haven't used them.
There is one little thing I wish they could change: The other guest in the pool area was allowed to bring a glass of wine, however, my husband was not allowed to take a cup of coffee from the bar and bring it with him. That situation has left *a bad taste in my mouth" Somehow I felt we all haven't been treated the same. It CAN NOT happen in that kind of hotel!

Overall we had a pretty good stay, relaxed and felt more in love with our nature.

I have stayed here two years in a row in early July and have fond memories of the hotel. The hotel staff was friendly on both stays. The rooms are comfortable, well decorated, quiet and have great views from the balcony. From a photography perspective I appreciated having Alpe di Suisi right out the door for sunrise and sunset. I will say sunrise had more stable weather for me. My experience with sunset was that there was often thunderstorms. The area has several good webcams that you can scroll through past dates/times to get familiar with the weather and the seasons. One of the most photographed spots is about a twenty minute moderate/easy walk away near Malga Sanon. Icaro hotel is about the closest hotel you can get.

In terms of location its good if you are planning to stay in the area. You can easily get to Ortisei by scenic twenty to thirty minute walk to the gondola. The walk will take you past several photogenic locations and Malga Sanon where you can have a nice lunch. Once in Ortisei you can take a cable car up to Seceda. I have also stayed over by Seceda, but didn’t find staying over there conducive for sunset/sunrise pictures given lodging was almost an hour hike away and on a steep hill. Additionally, well driving around Alpe di Suisi is controlled you can come/go in the morning or evening. So it is possible to do day trips from here . We did drive to Kastelruth for dinner one day. The gondola does stop running around 5:30-6pm.

For me the ideal trip to the Dolomites is to stay at Icaro hotel for a few nights along with a few nights over by Cortina/Dobbica to somewhat reduce driving times between locations in the Dolomites. If you would like to stay one place and explore all of the Dolomites there is probably more central towns. However, I truly enjoy the setting of Icaro hotel and rinding the cable cars/gondolas nearby to get around the area. I would recommend Icaro hotel to others.
