A Tyrolean mountain retreat that raises the game for chalet style. Tucked away in the dreamy Dolomites yet close to spectacular skiing in Val Gardena- the boutique hotel of Montchalet is the best of both worlds. At first glance- this Alpine lodge has everything you expect ski lift transfers- a spa for post-piste treatments- and design that reflects the stunning landscape. But look a little closer. This retreat is redefining the art of mountain living. Just a handful of suites bring together open-grain wood with soft velvet- rise-and-shine espresso machines with enormous freestanding bath tubs. This elegant aesthetic extends to the restaurant- where crisp linens and a hint of glitz set the tone for delicious dinners amid the Dolomites. Work your way through Tyrolean dishes with a contemporary spin- and just try to resist photographing every artful plate. Montchalet also boasts a striking- ultra-modern spa. Here you can swim in the feature pool- get the red-carpet treatment in a Glamour SaunaPro- and drift away on the NU RELAX floating beds. With signature treatments created to spoil you- the Montchalet spa proves that luxury is more than skin deep. Hotel Montchalet is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
