Gardena Grödnerhof

An elegant estate in the Dolomites
VERIFIED LUXURY

Surrounded by leafy gardens, Gardena Grödnerhof is an idyllic boutique hotel tucked away in Italy’s Dolomites mountain range. It sits in Val Gardena, a charming stretch of three picturesque villages dotted with shops and restaurants.

A former private home, the hotel has been family owned since 1923 and was rebuilt in 2001. Come for the stunning mountain views, top-notch restaurants (especially Anna Stuben) and an expansive spa spread across three floors with pools, saunas and a Technogym fitness center, as well as first-row access to winter skiing. Just a short walk from Ortisei's village center and nearby cableways, the hotel provides effortless access to Alpe di Siusi’s gentle trails and Seceda’s more difficult terrain.

With a blend of traditional and modern styles, the Italian ski hotel features a neutral color palette of white, gray and tan, and interiors of blond wood, black stone and white linens. Staff greets you with a welcome cocktail and from there, you might walk to the village shops, hit the slopes or head straight to the soothing Gardena Spa.
